tacos, topiaries, and Tiffany

We had tacos for dinner. Actually we had nachos. But that doesn't work for alliteration.

We had shredded chicken, avocado, garlic cheese sauce, lettuce, tomato, homemade salsa, more shredded cheese, lime juice, sour cream…

They were loaded nachos.

We took a walk after dinner.

Earlier, I was with Nancy in Kalamazoo. There is a topiary display throughout the city. It just went up today. We noticed a couple of them and walked around looking for more. I have pictures… they'll get posted later. They're not just ordinary topiaries. I'll leave you in suspense.

The real reason I went to see Nancy was to go to the K.I.A. (Kalamazoo Institute of Art, which by the way when googled comes up with Kia, the car. I was just telling Bill and was saying that art institutes have to be easier to find and that you don't need the periods. The example I then gave was Chicago Institute of Art. Or CIA. Sure, google that one…!)

I digress. We went to the K.I.A. to see the Tiffany exhibit. Louis Comfort Tiffany. There was a painting, lots of lamps, vases, and jewelry. It was impressive. I mentioned it in Wednesday's post. Unfortunately they did not allow photography. The lamps were incredible.

Those are the things I'm thankful for today.

Taco Tuesday

We used to have "Taco Tuesday" all the time. Our friend Heather O. would come over after work, we would take a walk and then have dinner. Often it was tacos. We enjoyed that and haven't really done it since she moved (*tear*) almost two years ago!

A week ago we had Jen and Amelia over. This week we decided to invite Tricia and Colin over (Colin was a sometimes guest at the previous Taco Tuesdays) because Colin said offhandedly that he missed Taco Tuesdays. We realized that we did too! After our dinner guests last week, it was an even stronger feeling. Maybe we'll keep inviting guests over every week (but probably not because the first and third weeks of the month are my "busy" weeks we just got lucky because March has five Wednesdays and Thursdays so I got an extra week "off").

We are having tacos.

And root beer floats. Because they sounded good.
