Mae and the Macarons

We stopped in at La Bamboche. The macaron’s are quite good, maybe a little on the small side – but they have a wide selection. Notice in the photos a little hand — Mae could hardly wait to sample. I think she liked the strawberry filling ones the best (see the green ones with the little hand snatching them away? Yeah, that’s them). If you get a latte, be sure to get the single unless you like a HUGE mugs – way too much, but delicious.
Then – we were hungry, so we went to a really nice Italian place called Lil’ Baci – super good food. Mae had a small pizza. I had Lil’ Baci baked eggs – two eggs, roasted tomato, scamorza, italian sausage, and basil — the portion was perfect and just place delicious (I’m NOT a fan of roasted tomato – but it was so good in this dish). Alison had the Italian BLT – pancetta, arugula, house mayo, and roast cherry tomato — (a big thumbs-up from Mae’s mama, too!).
Yes, it’s true – we had dessert first — but it’s Saturday – and that’s how we roll.

Mae loves to read. She loves going to the library. Alison went to pick Mae up from school today to give me a bit of a break, and they both decided to head off to the library. When they got home, I read a few of Mae’s new books for her while we sat on the porch (in return for letting me take a quick snap of her – fair deal, I think).
Mae also loves pink and purple. Can’t you tell? 🙂
A side technical note: I used some pretty expired Polaroid 3000 to take the first image. I didn’t think it would work out. I found some for not a whole lot of money and took a chance on five packs of the stuff – I’m glad I did. It’s nice looking film, and I’m sure it was just stellar when it was fresh. Film – my addiction – is fading fast, but I’ll keep shooting it until one of both of us finally croaks.
Roughing it

It’s their second day of camping, and from what I hear they are having big fun in the water and waves. I don’t think they’re driving their Granny too crazy – but there’s still another day to go.
As for me, I haven’t done much of anything while they’ve been gone – other than go out for a bite to eat last night – and clean up the disaster area I call my studio. I threw out a few bags of trash – organized some things – took inventory of some film I have squirreled away (it’ll take me 20 years to shoot it all) – and am now contemplating selling several cameras I haven’t used in a good long while.
But – this isn’t a place for me to ramble on – it’s for me to talk about my last progeny – Mae. I miss her – terribly. I still worry incessantly about her – I worry a shark will gobble her up while she swims in Lake Huron – or a giant Hopi owl will swoop down and snatch her – or a Black Mamba will ambush her on her way to the ice cream stand (Mae – not the Black Mamba)…
You think I’m kidding — I DO think like that – all that time. She’s not leaving home until she’s 40.
