The weather on Monday prevented people from enjoying outdoor seating at many restaurants in the DC area. I thought these stacked chairs provided an interesting combination of texture and color.

I attended the 10th Annual National Book Festival on the National Mall in Washington, DC on Saturday. It was a terrific day of celebrating authors and books. My personal highlight was getting Jonathan Franzen to sign "The Corrections" and "Freedom" for me. Franzen and I first met in 2006, when I was assigned "The Corrections" to read, discuss, and then write a paper on! While not my favorite novel, there is something about the story that I found fascinating. After hearing Franzen speak at the Book Festival, I became a fan, and promptly bought both books for him to sign! (I would suggest Robert Downey Jr. for the role of Chip.)

Isn't this cute? It was on the label of some beautiful yarn I was working with recently. (You'll have to check out 54pineapples to see how beautiful, and what the end result was!) I would just make one small change . . . Crochet, Relax, Smile. Repeat!
