Frank Lloyd Wright's Darwin D. Martin House

Before the Splint Alex and I headed over to do the grand tour of the new restoration(nearly complete). The visitors center was just opened that day. Nice.

We saw two of our old profs. Alex bought bricks.

Looks great. We used to have parties in the house when I was in grad school. I remember sitting n the dining room drinking labatts out of a cooler sitting in folding chairs with prof shibley and day.

Looks great.

Yet...it still is something I look forward to every year.

Eric and Mot stopped by for 4.3 minutes enroute to a party....while here they imparted upon us, or more imortantly, the Kitchen....some new shiny silver pots!

Yeeaaa.

They are so nice I will be leaving them out and NOT using them.

IKEA- Looks too good to use!

We took pics but Jimmy forgot to reset the autofocus and therefore all were a little blurry...nice...here's what I could salvage.

Thanks you guys!

For the first time in 5 years I was able to take Grace to the St. Patty's Day parade. Mostly because it always coincided with Splint. It turned out to be a gorgeous sunny day so grace and I went to a corner near my office and we made the most of it.

We saw our friend Annmarie Brogan on a float, we took goofy pics and just enjoyed watching all the silly people. The flower city glass float was very popular because everyone used it to take pictures of themselves including us.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to ya all.
