our neighbor victoria . .

 greg and i went over to our neighbor victoria's apartment this afternoon around 4. she invited us over for tea and greg helped her with some computer problems she was having. you can see alfred, her dachshund, keeping an eye on things in the pic above.

 she has an old portable hard drive on which she has some photos she would like to get off. but we're unsure of how to get them off as there is a loose wire.

 alfred . . who is really a dear. on the left are sheets of her photo shoot with morgana in nice. they were fun to see.

 green tea . . .

a lemon tart from le pain quotidian.

she re-did her kitchen and i really love it. i'd like to re-do ours one of these days. i like the light beneath the counter and the stone floor tiles. also, her refrigerator is narrower than mine, and much less bulky looking.

victoria currently has an exhibition of several of her photos at the local chase bank.

 the one she's hanging here is one of my favorites: you can do what you please, 2011

26 acts of kindness campaign

i found this link on slowtraveler's blog and thought it would be good to put out there to those of you wondering how to help ourselves and the residents of newtown, connecticut: 26 acts of kindness campaign. the link mentions a story from fred rogers, who quoted his mother as saying to always look for the helpers in this world when times feel dark. there's always people helping, she said.

happy fifth day of christmas. sometimes just a smile can make all the difference to someone.
