Dale Fest 2008

Last Friday the Hotel Donaldson celebrated all things Dale by hosting a block party downtown called Dale Fest. Don't know who Dale is? Spend more than an evening sipping your favorite cocktail at the HoDo lounge, and you'll soon discover his identity :)

Anywho, I actually had a wedding on Friday, so, I didn't make it out until quite late... in any case, I did snap a few pictures...



A couple of Kirby Berg, local artist (glass blower):





The fine folks at the Up Front Gallery downtown created an awesome painting that I would still love to hang in my living room...





Infamous Fargo Street performer Ashraf Kamel





...and, of course, the crew at the HoDo..

Anyone having a bad week?

If not, good for you, you optimist you.

If so, here some pictures of Lily, Dave & Sarah's (my wonderful employers :)) new daughter. She's nearly four months old... though only a little over three months when I photographed her. Isn't she cute?

O&P

Onslow and Pauline are at the vet today... the poor little guys are getting, gulp, "fixed". Hopefully, are house will be somewhat peaceful again! So, in honor of their first vet visit, here are some pictures of cats in a tub...

Cooper & Camping

This weekend, Kris and I went camping at Maplewood State Park with the Skjolds and the Engelhards (minus Dana, plus Alicia's boyfriend Matthew and his pup Cooper). I'll post some camping photos tomorrow, but, first, let me introduce you to Cooper... a super duper Goldendoodle with some serious soccer skills, and, well, not so serious swimming skills.













He also gets some love from the ladies...


...until the soccer ball comes back...



With his owner, Matthew
