Day 200—19 May 2012 Sweet/tart This glorious fruit salad accompanied Day 188’s star (NOS and two of NTS’ friends—Abby & Justin—agree that the pizza is yum-verified). After dinner, we played board games. So. Much. Fun! Happy (feels like) summer!

Cymbal of love</b>
My sweet "baby" gave me a terrific Mother’s Day celebration—feeding me regularly and watching fun TV. [Poor Tom was stuck on the road behind an accident, on his way to retrieve NOS from college.] This is my gift from the boys. The heart is made from an old cymbal, and the circle is old guitar strings. Perfection!](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-fGGkmx6/3/6166a1d8/Ti/2012%2005%2013%20cymbal%20of%20love_6175-Ti.jpg)

Typecasting</b>
We had a wicked-awesome day downtown with our friends Don, Steve, and Judy, starting with viewing Don’s MFA thesis project show [a glimpse of which will be its own gallery soon-ish]. We also got to see some cool printing presses and old type sets. We spent the rest of the day chatting, and completely lost track of time. Hopefully, we’ll still be invited back sometime!](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-DC9jz9t/0/85c72e2b/Ti/2012%2005%2012%20type_120254-Ti.jpg)

It’s for the birds!</b>
I’ve been enjoying this adorable birdhouse on my walk route. I keep meaning to ask my friend/neighbor Mary for its story; but, I always forget by the time I get home (and get busy with the daily minutiae). If I ever find out, I’ll revise this entry. [Here’s the scoop: Mary reports that Bradley (Adam’s peer) made the birdhouse when he was 5-ish. It’s a particular favorite of hers, too. Great minds think alike!]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Project365/2011-November-Launch/i-fnfgRZj/1/033ed6da/Ti/2012%2005%2008%20Mary%20bird%20house_102243-Ti.jpg)
