Pleasures

Arlo and I have done some serious reading over the years... I'd say 30 to 60 minutes per day on average for just about every day of his life. With all the hundreds of books we've enjoyed, there are some that stand out as true favorites. Some are make the list (like the books of Maira Kalman and Calef Brown) because the artwork and words are just as engaging for me as they are for Arlo. A few are classics. Others are just perfect for settling down at the end of the day. For whatever the reason, these are the books that we never seem to get tired of reading.

In no particular order:

1. Eat a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich

2. Be a bridesmaid

3. Do a cartwheel

4. Play a game of chess

5. Mow a lawn

6. Watch an episode of Lost

7. Play Monopoly

8. Drink a cup of black coffee

9. See Casablanca

10. Swim a lap

I think it's cool that my friend John has never tasted ketchup. What ordinary things have YOU never done?

Color junkie that I am, I couldn't be more tickled with these NYC street vendor finds. The first batch was 4-for-$10; the second batch (with two holes), three bucks each. Now, thank goodness, I have just the right belt for every outfit. For a while, I was all about the powder blue, but these days, it's silver all the way.

While I was in California last week, Arlo and Jeff recorded this little message and sent it to me in email. This is the best part of being a Mom.

Prepare yourself for the cuteness!!
