Hey kiddo, Happy Easter! Did your host family celebrate?
It's been a great weeekend so far. Alex, Jen and I went out for her birthday yesterday. Jen and I got to Alex and DJ's house and made breakfast for everyone. It was great, complete with Mimosas and Bloody Marys. Then we left and went to Kirkwood for massages. She wasn't very surprised by that She had made a couple phone calls to me throughout the week digging for information on what we were doing and I tried to throw her off, but she was ahead of the game and she figured it out. But.....she was surprised by the next stop. We went to a place named Yucando. It is a studio for any type of arts and crafts that you could ever imagine. Alex made a window box and Jeni and I made this absolutely tacky, crazy, wild colored picture frame. It was a lot of fun. We finished the night with Sushi and cocktails. All in all I think she had a good day.
Today, Alex and I went to church in St. Louis at Unity church and then came home. So, as I sit and type you my house is full. Which you know I love! Sarah Outland, her boyfriend Kunal (sp?) DJ (who is baking Alex birthday cupcakes) and Alex are all here. Nick is at work but will join us later at grandma's and said he will probably spend the night in the hoo. So, we're off to grandma's in a bit to dine on mounds of chocolate!
Well, that should bring you up to date. I'd love to hear from you soon.
Take care,
Love, Mom

Ok, I can't let the "absolutely tacky" comment go without a confession of my own. Them there are some strong words! I would like to replace this description with the following:
ReplyDeleteThe Yucandu art project is compilation of love, joy and friendship all wrapped up in bright colors, warm textures and thoughtful collections of each artist's interpretation of 18 (or so) tender years of mutual affection. This art deco frame will lovingly house beautiful moments captured at their peek of blissful perfection, forever cherished by those who will never forget.
THERE, I have added my two-cents, plus one-cent for good measure :-)
Miss you, Zach! Look forward to going to Yucandu with you and making some masterpieces of our own! Might be almost as fun as our field trip to LazerRock!
