"everybody sees you're blown apart, everybody sees the wind blow,
in graceland, in graceland" -- paul simon
was in memphis last week for work and was so happy to have a few free hours to explore. a little more to come on memphis...there is food and music and color to be shared.
had breakfast this morning at bijou...I think this might just be my favorite breakfast in the city. I decided to take the long way home, which, involved grabbing an americano next door and spending a few minutes admiring gretchen vaudt's "going home" exhibit, driving across the river and back, making a stop here to pick up one of these and letting the fog draw me up here.
I have been having some fun in these last few days of 2008...doing a little window shopping and eating out, which, leads to day dreaming of dancing around pink tinsel trees dressed in a cute little blue frock and shiny little shoes with a sparkling flute of champagne and a table full of tasty sushi platters from what might be the very best japanese restaurant ever.
here's to a happy new year full of making day dreams come true!
cheers to gatherings, anticipation, laughs that make your belly hurt and your eyes water, marvelous little holiday worthy accessories, twinkling lights, frosty white snow, delicious food, delightful wine and tasty little treats!
today, not much unlike the past week or so, has been all about the simple things. 
even though I would LOVE to get in the car and drive it...anywhere really, I'm SO loving not being able to. it reminds me of being in europe. we're busy and exhausted. busy, hiking down and up the hill in the snow and ice to get to the market, hitting up a few local restaurants for some food and drink, making all kinds of food at home, keeping up the house, taking public transit downtown, snoozing by the fire, listening to music, taking pictures, making lists and planning all sorts of fun things to do. one of those things is to spend more time without the car. yes it is.
