It’s been quite rainy all week, so yesterday’s sun was a welcome (but hot!) sight. Claire introduced me to a huge flea market in Courthouse – we had a blast poking through all the stuff. I ended up with a lovely new pen hand-tooled by a former ambassador who had a little booth set up there, and Claire found a washbowl and pitcher – success!
Afterward, John and I took the Circulator (my favorite mode of transportation here!) up to U Street. We had a delish Mexican brunch, then poked around some stores before heading home.
We’ve been watching “Sharp Objects” on HBO this week, based on a Gillian Flynn book we read several years ago; we also enjoyed “Beirut” and totally loved Patricia Clarkson in “The Party.”
Last Sunday, Rick and Claire came for burgers along with Rick’s darling, smart daughter Erin – we’re so happy to have them in DC!
Good thoughts going to to Mike Bobo’s mom, Liz, who’s in the hospital in Ft. Worth.
