Grandma's Attic Reunion
Back in the good ol' college days, back when living with roommates meant also co-habitating with their decorations, I lived in an apartment coined, "The G.A." My friend next door, Alyssa, called it that because my roommates liked to decorate with curio cabinets filled with plastic doll collections and doilies on the arms of the couches. There were countless potted plants that at one point I had to, shall we say, "tastefully edit down" in favor of a clear view out my living room windows.
We had alot of good memories in the days of the G.A. and it was fun to be reunited again last weekend with my salsa aficionado friend Alyssa, plus Sam, Mia and Eli, who were still glimmers in her eye when I knew her.
I was particularly amazed at how long her kids can play independently. These Duplos were the main attraction.
And this little Eli was the cutest little guest we've had here. I wanted to kiss his buttery soft skin everytime I saw him.
We were so glad that the Barlows came to visit us en route to their home in Connecticut. Let the G.A. rest in peace and the Chicken Coop flourish with more reunions in the future!

I love thinking about college decorations. We once had (and I have no idea how we got it) a life-size cardboard cutout of Harrison Ford from Star Wars. We dressed him up and took pictures with him. You know, prom, skiing, reading scriptures. I still have all those pictures somewhere, too. Another roommate loved George Clooney and had pictures of him up in the living room :/
I will visit the chicken coop again soon! We had so much fun. I want to spend as much time with you as possible so that maybe your creative genius will soak into me and maybe some day I will grow up and be like you. LOVE YOU!!
