Mom's Visit

My mom, and Marcus (her cute schnauzer puppy), visited this weekend. We had a nice relaxing time together. I took her to REI and Titlewave, where she found a nice jacket and gloves and then some used books. Then we checked out the new version of Middle Way Cafe. (Yay!!! It's open finally!!!)

We also browsed through JoAnn's and found some very nice sheer curtain fabric to put in my window to lightly block people's view of the inside of my apartment, while still letting light in. My mom is really good at coming up with cool ideas, and it really looks fantastic. And the best part is that it was done entirely without sewing, cutting, or anything! Just a little measuring, a few knots, and a few window suction cup hooks! I'll have to take a picture of it this weekend (when I'll hopefully be home while it's light outside) and post it on here.

Otherwise we relaxed, watched a few movies, read a bit, and watched a documentary about the Great Wall of China. Marcus loved playing in the snow... he didn't realize how much deeper it was here than at home until he jumped in and nearly disappeared! We all had a good time. We had nice weather too, or at least nice sunny weather with really cold temperatures. But now they're down in Palm Springs soaking in the hot sunny weather.
