Art, beer and old friends

It's becoming clearer and clearer to me that Audrey has quite a talent for art.

I'm not sure where that comes from. I guess I used to draw and paint a lot as a kid. Somewhere along the way, I threw those aspirations aside and now I can barely sketch out a simple drawing. Actually, I think it has more to do with my level of patience these days than about lack of talent. I'm just too BUSY to spend any time doodling. Right??

We kicked off Mother's Day weekend (and OH what a nice weekend it was!) by going to Depot Town in Ypsilanti on Friday night to see Audrey's artwork on display at Shankwiler's Art Gallery.

What an adorable place it is!

And how beautiful Audrey's painting was! I was so happy to see it.

She put on her usual "glam" look posing in front of her piece.


It was a beautiful night so when we left the gallery, we headed to Corner Brewery to sit in the beer garden and get a bite to eat.

And just like a true neighborhhood bar, some old friends from Curt's college days showed up and hung out with us for awhile. I love it there.

It was a great night and a great kick-off to our weekend.

Ahhhh . . . weekend. [sigh]
Gone so quickly.
