Fenris Friday

Grandpa gave Mom these flowers. Every time they bloom she thinks of her Dad, we are going to miss him a lot.

I held down the fort while she was at the funeral. I wish I could have gone too Grandpa always said I was a good dog. ~Fenris, reporting for ATCAD

PeeS: We hope we are wrong but it doesn't look as if Grandpa will be with us much longer.

Willa Jean

While Sharon and I were in New Orleans we lunched at Will Jean.

I got the avocado toast. Everything was fresh and it was packed with cheese, tomatoes, pickled serrano, shallots, arugula, sunflower seeds and a poached egg. It was delicious

Serrano is a type of pepper in case you were wondering.

We got some chocolate chip cookies to bring home.

After lunch it was time to visit the Van Gogh exhibit..

It was very peaceful there, I could have stayed all day. ~Sandra, reporting for ATCAD

Van Gogh Irises

Van Gogh spent time in Japan and the art he did there is amazing. It is actually some of my favorite of his works as there were a lot of floral pieces.

But the irises were my favorite hands down. They covered an entire room with his work. There was one with butterflies that was awesome. I felt as if I was surrounded by them.
