It's Always Green in Philadelphia

Always Green cause it was the Green Family Weekend!

Abe and I drove down Saturday morning and met up with my sister and parents. First we went and had lunch at Reading Terminal Market.

Have you ever had scrapple? You should really try it some time.

A little Amish boy gave me a piece and I ate a nibble (and almost threw up).

The market was insanely overwhelming. My dad and I split some oysters and I got crab and shrimp jambalaya.

Jaime's boyfriend met up with us and we all heading off to the Mütter Museum. The Mütter Museum was founded to educate future doctors about anatomy and human medical anomalies. I saw a hair ball the size of a softball that was pulled out of a person's intestines.

Then we went to the park and played with Ezra's dog, Wesley. I love Wes and will probably steal him one day.

Then we went back to my parents' hotel and had drinks, which turned into dinner, which turned into karaoke, which turned into 2am.

Congrats to Preeya and Her Fawn

Last night was the Gauge opening at ArtJail. Preeya's little fawn was displayed in the center of the room. I think Colleen said it best when she said "That deer would be so happy right now if it knew about this."

Preeya found the skeleton pieces while a bunch of us were in upstate NY for a weekend. While on a hike we spotted the skull and Preeya proceeded to dig up every last piece. The poor little deer died under a tree and you can imagine how scary it must have been for the poor little thing. Preeya poured years of love into re-building the skeleton and now it's on display as a work of art. I'm so proud of her - it was an incredible process.
