my mama came to visit this weekend!  hooray!  excellent times were had - lots of good food was eaten (including some perfect peaches that she brought from north carolina), we went to the martin luther king memorial downtown (which i had - embarrassingly - never been to), we played trivia on saturday night (just the two of us - and did pretty well!), and had yummy brunch with some of my friends on sunday morning before she left.

can we talk about the weather this weekend?  perfection.  after mom left on sunday i took my book out to this little grassy area at the back of our condo complex that borders the train tracks (it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere, which i love) and read my book / napped and it just felt GOOD.  lilly and i went to see brandi carlile and ray lamontagne on sunday evening and the weather continued to be perfect.

great weekend.
