This past...
Thursday:
Emmie, mom + I went to "My Big Backyard" @ Memphis Botanic Garden (see last post). Here are some pics:
I would love to live in a house like this☺
I love bottle trees! When I have a house, I want one in the backyard ;]
Swinging in the "rain":
Friday:
Zac + I went downtown to the art trolley tour on s. main. I got a cute scarf + shirt @ American Apparel. Here's the circle scarf (these are really in for fall):
We just walked around + went in galleries. Saw the brush your teeth show:
and the Horn of Plenty, MCA Horn Island Alumni Reflect and Remember, 1985-2009 show.
We rode the trolley to Circa + had an amazing dinner: proscuitto wrapped asparagus; crawfish beignets; pork tenderloin medallions; sesame crusted ahi tuna with wasabi mashed potatoes, seaweed salad, soy-ginger beurre blanc; and bananas foster soufflé with vanilla gelato and warm caramel-rum sauce. Yum!!!
Then walked back to SOB (south of beale) and had drinks.
Saturday:
Zac + I rode part of the tour de wolf at Shelby Farms. It was too hot for me, haha :] and I'm just getting back into it, but Zac was such a sweetheart staying with me + making sure I was ok ;]
After riding, we ate at Deli Mexicana (Las Tortugas). Zac fell in love :] I love that place too. It has the best, authentic mexican tacos/sandwiches and fresh fruit drinks (I got hibiscus + Zac got watermelon). Fire!!!
That night we (Zac + I) had dinner w/ William + his girlfriend Hallie at Rain and then went to Wimbleton to watch kickboxing + mma fights. It was lots of fun. I've never seen anything like that in person. Then we had drinks at Dan McGuinness. I got grape vodka with sprite- it was really good!!!
Sunday:
I had brunch with Zac, his dad, dad's g-friend, brother + brother's friend @ Interim. I didn't know they had sunday brunch. I had french toast + it was really good.
Then mom + I went to the Dixon to see Beth Edward's (my college professor) show. This was my favorite painting in the show:
"Happy Day", 32X38", 2007, Oil on Canvas
The nose is unbelievable in person + so are the eyes + couch. Photos do not do it justice.
I saw this one in progress + fell in love (not in the show):
"Fall", 14X19", 2008, Oil on Canvas
And...I saw this one hanging on her wall a while ago + wanted it so bad (not in the show either)!!! The lips are great!!!:
"Lost 1", 38"X32", 2006, Oil on Canvas
