Good Food


So after all that cleaning I decided that Robert deserved a good hardy meal so today I made fried chicken, scalloped potatoes, and asparagus. I have never fried chicken before but it turned out great. As you can see Scott was here to help consume the food.

Deep Cleaning

Usually, Robert and I clean our carpets every 6 months (the water treatment plant across the road from us has been doing construction for like 4 yeas now and it can get pretty dusty and we tract in a lot of dirt) but this year we never got around to it until now. I thought I wold show you just how bad our carpets had gotten. (I am ashamed I let it get this bad, but please don't think we are dirty people.)


Unconditional Surrender


So this weekend one of my roommates from St. George, UT, Kelli, came to San Diego to visit. Among doing many things we had our picture taken by a very famous statue. You can't tell in the picture of us, but the statue is huge, we only go up to the nurses feet.



This is the original picture of the American sailor kissing a young woman on V-J Day in Time Square on August 14, 1945, taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt.


J.Seward Johnson Jr. made a sculpture based on Eisenstaedt's photo of V-J Day, titled Unconditional Surrender in 2005.
