So much in just one week!

Well, this past week was certainly not conducive to projects even if we packed in quite a lot of other things.  Richard and I traveled up to Oshkosh to go on gallery walk last Saturday and spent most of the time talking with friends before going out to our old haunt for drinks afterwards.  It was just so wonderful to see so many friends, and really makes me miss that small town I used to live in.

Work was a little weird this week, the family I work for had a family emergency, so my schedule was a bit mucked up.  And to top it all off I seem to have "grown into" allergies again so my head has been stuffy for the past week as spring seems to have finally arrived.

I did manage to get down to the Milwaukee Art Museum for Free First Thursday and visited with Pam, one of my old university professors, who had brought a group of her current students.

We have some wonderful neighbors next door, Tom and Amy, who have become great friends.  Richard and Tom used to work together at Apple and in the span of a couple months we both happened to move into the same apartment complex, and it just so happened that the two empty units were right next door to one another.  It's been quite handy to have friends so close by, we take care of each others' pets and water the gardens.  Last week Tom's younger brother Brandon was visiting for spring break so I spent Friday hanging out with him and we bopped around to a few thrift stores to keep our day busy.

Today though, I have no work, and we spent Sunday doing laundry and all the spring cleaning so there's not much more to do around the house.  We even cleaned out the whole garden (all twelve square feet of it) and all my crocuses and iris have begun to bloom and even the tulips are peeking out!
After I talk to our building manager about checking the AC unit (one day of warm weather and the pipes in the basement are already sweating!) I'm going to spend the afternoon taking photos, which I suppose will be my project for this week.
