Kate the Birthday Girl

On Sunday my friend Kate, a culinary student, came over and we made a delicious birthday dinner with my roommates.
It was filled with beautiful heirloom tomatoes from my roommates parent's garden, and an assortment of fresh vegetables.
I love the colors of fresh fruits and vegetables. Beautiful.

Mural & Beacon

I did a bit more work on that mural in my apartment.

And I went to Beacon, NY to visit some family. We spent some time outside playing ping pong. I thought it was great how the dog was watching everything so intently; sitting there on the towel, not even interested in chasing loose balls... I also found it interesting that he wasn't making a sound (he's usually extremely loud, barking all the time)... during this time he was so quite... Just watching.

Painting & Beach Time

The other night I was up all night painting a huge mural on my apartment wall. It is one of the best feelings. To be able to do that and not worry about getting in trouble for it.

On Saturday, I visited Rockaway Beach with some friends. That evening we relocated to my apartment to continue the festivities. What fun it is to share giant goblet of whiskey!
