JWST Friends and Family Day

In April, we had a Friends & Family day for JWST – as well as an Employee Day, where we got to show the telescope off to people at Goddard, and then friends & relatives of people working on the project. Both were really special. My parents were able to come for Friends & Family day, and our friend Conley … Continue Reading →

Cherry Blossoms

Now that the leaves are coming off the trees, let’s head back to when they were just starting to bloom – March – and the cherry blossoms in DC, which we make an effort to try to see yearly. We didn’t hit it on a great day – I normally like a nice blue sky to see the cherry blossoms, … Continue Reading →

Française Dinner, March 2017

A small affair this year. But it was a date and location that were easy for me to go, so I was glad to be able to make it! We were in Annapolis this time – the room was nice, but had some weird red lighting, so my pics aren’t great. I really need to make a new Francaise gown … Continue Reading →

March Ice Storm

In mid-March we had a weird surprise ice storm – I had to run around photograph all the iced over flowers.

JWST Art Exhibit

So, I posted (a while ago now) about an artist event I organized for work – we were kindly offered Visitor Center space – and so the artists all doubled down and created amazing works of art, and we put on an exhibit. I was so impressed and happy that of the artists at our event, only 3 didn’t participate … Continue Reading →

On to April! More visitors! My friend Liz from high school – who I haven’t seen since high school! And her daugher! A cat and her shark: Rockets and cherry blossoms! More visitors! Katherine was in town for a party, so she and Taylor came by!

What I Was Up To – March 2017

On to March! Willow really likes the smell of coffee – or creamer… Party hat pikachu was a thing… We had a freakishly early cherry blossom bloom – like early March – and then it got super cold and froze everything. :-/ It was really cold this day we went in. FDR memorial: Portrait Gallery: Pocohantas: Elizabeth I: My 18th … Continue Reading →

What I was up to, February, part 2

February part 2! In DC – I kind of love this light display, especially when it’s showing planets! What ended up being our last meal at Zengo before it suddenly closed down. Still so sad. A visit to Pittsburgh: Seriously, these stuffed cheese pretzels! From the internet: Allen Pond sunset: Sitting between our laptops: Carbonara from scratch: Freeway airport sunset: … Continue Reading →

What I was up to, February 2017, part 1

Continuing with the backlog of posts… Here’s part of February! Let’s start off with more food! Doug and I went with Mike and Gloria to Co Co Sala for Restaurant week in DC. This place is a bit chocolate focused, which is all to the good. Doug and I started off with a Co Cojito – chocolate infused vodka, mint … Continue Reading →

What I Was Up to – January 2017

On to January – I’m only 7 months behind, I can still catch up, right? Doug and I headed to National Harbor for dinner. Baby! We met Janine and Ron for dinner – in DC at Zengo. I believe Diana and her husband joined us too. We didn’t manage a group photo, but we did get our twinsie Rey boots: … Continue Reading →

What I was up to – December 2016

I know – this is like ancient history at this point, but what the hell. Here are highlights of my December 2016 – including some pretty sunsets, lots of food, and a kitty. A pretty sky: We were randomly in Rockville for lunch (don’t go back to Rockville!) and we went to Kino Spoon and had a great meal – … Continue Reading →

The Return

Just a short post with a couple of pics from seeing The Return last January. Always love a chance to see the guys, though we ended up not being able to work out dinner again. At least the weather cooperated this time – I managed to miss them plus a makeup show because of ice! I didn’t have a great … Continue Reading →
