Rock Chalk Prospect Place
Since our new roommate, Margaret, moved in last week, Prospect Place has been undergoing all sorts of facelifts. Yes, we may actually be on the road to adulthood furnishings! Among them a fabulous new sectional couch (bidding farewell to our much-detested loveseats), several fresh pieces of shelving, and perhaps my favorite: the chalkboard.
The moulding on our walls lends itself for a nice frame to create an effortless chalkboard. With a $15 can of special paint, we were able to turn one panel into a giant, fun, evolving work of art in under an hour. I love that I can practice lettering. So many possibilities — games, messages, dinner party menus, quotes, or fun reminders. I want to paint my life a chalkboard (not really, but it’s that fun).

Miss Heidi Comes to Town
My sister Heidi came to visit me for nearly a week — I showed her about the city as best I could!
My favorite day we spent together was at Rockaway Beach. We laid our sheet too close to the water, and eventually the tide washed us out. It was comical to wash off the sand, wring out the water, and attempt to air dry the sheet before we headed back home (Heidi told me I would never survive in the wild.)
