McKenzie’s niece Maci is 8. Whenever she’s in Helena we try to go and see her because she’s so cool to hang out with. This weekend, before we left for the Harriman, we stopped out to McKenzie’s Mom’s and watched Maci open all her Helena presents.
She’s big into horses and was thrilled to get a full set of riding gear including these new jodhpurs and riding boots.
Aha! After I made the Parrot post yesterday I went back to work and Marcy was working converting all the photos from RAW to usable CMYK tif files. While she was at it I snagged these shots taken by Archie.
The young lady in the picture is NOT McKenzie, but an imposer. Although McKenzie and I have been summer regulars at the Parrot (end of the bar, two black coffees and the ice cream of the day in a dish, two spoons) anyone with half a mind should be able to see right through the artifice of this photo. You see, there is a blaring misstep in the mise en scene: the Parrot serves beef chili and I am a vegetarian. No vegetarian would ever knowingly order BEEF chili.
See the new Parrot ads in the IR in coming weeks.
Navana and I appear to be on a date, we are faking.

Kayce Lomas created this awesome little alphabet made up of random textures that correspond to the letter. So as you can see in the top image The A is a sea anemone, the B is Barnacles, the C is clouds and the D is diamonds. This isn’t a new idea but it’s a well-executed one and I think she did a great job of giving these letters a lot of character. I really love the N, which I think is a nest, and the Q which I think is made of quartz.

Marcy and AJ shot some ad photos for the new owners of the Parrot on Monday. I got to skip out on work and drink a grape phosphate and fake-eat some beef chili to stand in as a customer. Unfortunately some real customers came in and stole my thunder.
These are the sweet dogs McK was sitting this past weekend. Alpa’s the top dog and older than Tana who is very playful. While McK was at work I would take the dogs out to play fetch. These dogs are expertly trained fetchers, they take turns! One will lay in the snow while the other tears down the road after the stick. They’re both very sweet and I for one will miss ’em both.
