rachel

when i was little, i used to have these horrible nightmares,

and it drove my parents insane-
a fact they couldn't possibly hide from me.

so being such a good child (i really was!)

i tried my best not to call out for them when i woke up at night.

instead i called out for rachel.

so here is to my big sister as she turns 36today-
for always being there

and scaring away the monsters.

you're still my hero...

jubilee!

my sweet sister, rachel, gave handsome and me 2 tickets

to the bijou jubilee- a fundraising event for the theatre.

we had a great time- it was held at krutch park,

and there were mint julips, tarot readers, and a magician...

the magician wasn't very good, but he did get the one card trick right.

(i tell handsome that he plays his cards close to his chest,

but he doesn't think i'm as funny as i think i am)

after the hors d'oeuvre were served, a signed guitar auction was held-

but i didn't exactly have the funds for the $2200 steve miller guitar i had my eye on...

at the end of the night,

the big orange banditos came through

to escort the guests down to the theater, nawlins' style!



where handsome was caught up (or rather, surrounded) by the mood

i love spending time with him

and our crazy friends

and most importantly, it was for a good cause!
