Assorted images

If a picture is worth a thousand words...pretend I've been updating more than I have been.

A gift from the latest Arts Council board meeting, this is a business card holder. Now I just need to print some business cards...

Most of my postcard stamps looked like this...really pretty, but I had to mutilate a lot of Mongolian empires to get the stamp free.

I went to UB mart's grocery this weekend and bought a few ridiculous things. Two of the best finds were a huge block of cheddar cheese (!!!) (there is also yak cheese made in the french tradition that I have plans for at some point) and these squirrel candies. I have no idea if they taste any good, but anything involving chocolate and squirrels is definitely worth $1.80

The head table at the wedding reception. You see the traditional tower topped with tsagaan idee (white foods= dairy products) and what I like to call the "fat back". Luckily that's not what we ate for dinner.

Bride with lots of relatives and friends

The receiving line. Changed into traditional garments, the bride and groom accept their gifts. Every person has a chance to share their good wishes with the group before kissing the new couple on both cheeks.

And finally, snow! Winter has arrived...though it's mostly melted two days later.
