Jonathan mans the grill while talking with Claire and Vincent
As you may have already deduced... we're house-sitting this week! No, these photos were not taken in our little one-bedroom apartment, but rather about an hour north. (That's three buses, or two buses and a métro away.) We were able to have Mark and Kendra out (yay!) and also Vincent and Claire, which was also 'yay!' but also sad because it's the last time we'll see them before they move to the Strasbourg area. But we've been invited to come visit them up in Alsace, so you may see their faces on here again in a few months.
White boy can attaya.
Even though I've been working and Jonathan has been writing his mémoire and working in the clinic, the break from our regular routine has been wonderful. This morning I went for a long run along the river, came back in time to see Jonathan for a bit before he left for the clinic, and then spent the afternoon and evening working. I could get used to this schedule!

Speaking of working, I just got a call from the studio saying that they want me to come back in to re-do a 30-second laughing bit I did a couple weeks ago in the role of Thunder Girl. Apparently my laugh wasn't evil enough. (Hey - I can think of worse criticisms!)
So I'll be headed back in on Friday morning to 'Mwaha ha ha!' it up in front of the mic. Lucky for me, there's a Wikipedia entry entitled 'evil laugh' with sample audio and also an entry on wiki-How for how to do an evil laugh.
What can I say? All in a day's work at one of my sources of income!

Trust me - there was plenty of food! I'll pull a Britt here and give you a list: grilled peppers, mushrooms, zucchini and pineapple, grilled sausages, Kendra's tabouleh and hummus, white beans with tomato and garlic, Indian potato salad... and peach pie.

Evan is getting big fast! I'm so jealous you get to house-sit there. I want a gorgeous place like that to housesit just outside the city. Hope you enjoy your week away :)
Looks like quite the feast..and a great day with friends. Enjoy the quiet!
I would love to come some time when you're house sitting....but we'd love to come and just see you again.
What gracious and generous hosts you both are.
haha, laughed out loud at the britt comment. that could be penni too. :) we still love you britt and penni!!
Funny that you say that, Julie. Because as I read Kari's comment about Britt, I thought, "That could SOOO be me." In fact, I had just sent Trey an email telling him what we were having for supper...but only because I know it would remind him of "home".
And I'm glad you still love us ;o).
We Hungarians insist on three kinds of meat at any self-respecting cookout!
