This morning Sadie and I drove up to Fallbrook to have breakfast with the artist Amber George. Sadie spent hours playing in the yard with Amber and David’s dog Teddy, while I took a few portraits of Amber in the eucalyptus grove and in her studio. Congratulations to Amber, who just got her first museum show. It opens next year in Texas.

Sometimes having many things on your plate is fun and stimulating. Other times it can briefly make you feel like this.
first swim
allana March 11th, 2007
Sadie finally learned how to swim today. She’s been flirting with it for the past two months, since she was introduced to the ocean at dog beach. Trent took off his shoes and walked in with her coaching each few feet. Here she is enjoying her first swim.
and relieved to be back on her feet again:
movie list for the sick bed

I’ve been sick since Thursday night, which hasn’t been a grand space of time, but sure feels like it. Trent has been supplying me with ginger ale and crackers, and movies. Here is the stack he brought home for me:
Gone with the Wind [old school classic]
American Beauty [new school classic]
Moulin Rouge [hmm . .guess this is for me since it it a musical]
Air Bud [???]
and with that , I’m back to bed for a while

I met Grace and Adam in Thailand at the wedding of Grace’s sister, Bethany. They live here in San Diego, and we went out for dinner tonight at the Turf Club. They are both wonderful people, and I remembered a funny picture I took of them on one of the last days of our trip. Here is Adam, and Grace, a coconut shake.
