It was a big week for birthdays, first Debbie on the 24th then Liam and Kathleen on the 26th. Happy birthday, all! We celebrated Liam’s birthday early so we could take advantage of the weekend, and gave him a cast iron skillet which should last, no pressure Liam, his whole life.
Notice anything different? Liam shaved his beard. We also went for brunch at the publican. Yum!

Tonight John and I went to a performance at humboldt park. A group called fantasmagorie danced on floating platforms in the water while a movie all about nature played behind them. Here they are dancing as jellyfish.
John and I went to a music festival recently that also put on quite a show. Sufjan Stevens had those air tube dancers that I’m so fond of.

We’ve been enjoying the garden this summer! Great spot for reading the newspaper with a cup of coffee.



Happy birthday all! Enjoy your skillet Liam!
Happy birthdays all around! I bought a cast iron skillet when I was a couple of years older than Liam. Like me, it is well seasoned now. Is the Publican that restaurant near the University of Chicago? It looks familiar.
