Benches, Philly, Saints.

Cheers! Michelle and I getting our fruit for the day, in the form of limes.



From the Children's Beach House -

Once again these amazing artists have outdone themselves! This year they painted 36 inch benches to be auctioned off at the Children's Beach House Barbecue on August 28th.

We are "unveiling" these benches on Thursday June 17th at the Finbar on Rehoboth Ave from 5-9pm. Please stop by!

For artists and sponsors, we would like to take a photograph around 6:00 - 6:30 for the local papers.

Hope to see you there.

A very fun weekend. Got to get out of town for a while, saw some friends, had some good food and good times. Saw a great "artsy" film in Philly called "City Island" with Andy Garcia. And had an amaaaazing meal at an Italian restaurant there. Cafe Positado? Not sure of the name, but wowee, LOL, yummy food, especially the gnocchi.
 
 

 
Also went to see the saint parade - otherwise known as the procession - at St. Anthony's Italian Festival on Sunday. I got to taste holy bread and didn't burst into flames when I did so. This was also the first time I've ever seen a saint draped in dollar bills, being pushed down the streets of Wilmington. Verry interesting. Oh, and I like bellinis, a new taste experience. Here's some pics from the Festival.
 

 
 And here's a pic of Haley with her Romeo and Juliet mask creation. I was so happy to see the girl pick up a paintbrush!
