Art Exhibit At the Sweet Palette






We made it down to fourth Friday last week, and it was great. I had heard about a Rob Robbers art exhibit and wanted to check it out. It was really a fun evening. It was held in the gallery area of the cupcake shoppe on Person st. in the circle, The Sweet Palette. Really cool little shoppe, they had Tyler King playing acoustical guitar. the shoppe had a really great atmosphere and the music was great. We had just eaten and I was too full to have anything more than coffee which was really good (they get their coffee from my favourite coffee roaster Jaun at The Cumberland Coffee Rosters in Hope Mills.) Sharon did get one of their cheesecake bites. She said it was very good. Just the right size so as not to make you feel guilty for eating the whole slice of cheesecake.

So here are just some shots I made while there.



Yes, I did take most of these sitting at my table, I do plan to go back down there one evening before they take the show down and get some more. I will add them when I get them. the paintings were really cool. The artist had a real unique take on some famous people, like Edgar Allan Poe, Humphry Bogart, and Audrey Hepburn to name a few. Very interesting. I liked it. You should if you get a chance, go down and check the gallery out, and get a great cup of coffee.

Here are a couple of other shots made the same night.


Here is a few of shots my wife took:

Cold Birthday Today


Well Here I am 55 wow, Some days I feel every one of those years. Every bump, break tear, etc. Usually on the cold wet days. well hello this is one of those days.Woke up to 1/2 inch of ice on everything and still rain/sleeting. Happy Birthday hey...lol... It is not so bad, It is pretty all over the trees and bushes. The roads were a mess but passable, when I took Sharon to work. Took awhile to thaw out the car this morning it looked like it was a glazed doughnut. Thank goodness for heated mirrors and rear defrosters.


Sharon got me a Aero Garden for my Birthday. Been wanting one of these for awhile, to grow some herbs for the kitchen. Got it all set up , and turned it on. So I am pretty stoked to see it grow. Here it is up and running.


Oh, wow the sun just came out so hopefully it will all melt away before this evening.
Looking forward to dinner at the Grilled Ginger tonight. Our daughter Jamie and her husband Brian are going to go with us it will be fun. Love Veitnemese food, and this is a really great place.
