The hard rain came again. This time, with wreckage. Our palm trees shed their water logged beards, and all music equipment had to be rescued from the flooded studio and escorted safely inside the house. Into the dining room to be exact. We've been in this house for a while, but now that we own it, little things seem to be falling apart. A kitchen cabinet ripped clean off its hinges the other day! Let's just call it the "money pit" syndrome, as a somewhat snarky homage to the hilarious 1980s Tom Hanks and Shelley Long film. So, what I thought might be a lazy saturday with pjs and blueberry pancakes, turned into a mad dash for boots and work gloves and family teamwork. Yay. In the midst of it all, photographer and friend, Alex Hoerner, came by to photograph our daughter for a personal project he's working on. Cool guy that he is, Alex leant a helpful hand and the bulk of the mess was gone in no time. Still, my weekend mood was derailed. Fortunately, photographer and subject clicked and were all smiles. Despite the the damp and chilly location, Isabel was all set to splish splash barefoot in the street. With a cough and runny nose to boot. (shame on me, for art's sake). Soon enough, I was smiling too. Watching her listen and take direction to do something adults would normally tell her is not a good idea. Her expression was a little confused..what tha?? Well...OK! It was a funny scene that unwound the crank that was me. No doubt some good pictures were taken and we were home just in time for rain-water tea.
