First Guest of the Fall


A friend of Janet's, AL, has arrived and is working on sorting out her jet lag.  We took her shopping down in the left bank this afternoon.

It was a successful shopping trip for many reasons; but chiefly for me, because Janet and I bought our first anniversary present.  We had decided that for our first anniversary (traditionally, paper) we would buy a work of art and have been looking around for something we both liked since the spring.  We found, in a gallery selling chiefly vintage posters, a gouache design for a café window from the '20s or '30s.  It was a little more expensive that we'd have liked, but on this return visit we negotiated a better price, and walked away art collectors.

My snapshot is a very poor reproduction of our new piece
