colors

Cool new seasonal color palette by Mini Boden. The applique and printed patterns are also well-done. Especially interesting is the mix of highly saturated and less complementing colors to create a sort of heirloom/patinad look that is striking but still cozy.

More Meyer May

From the Steelcase website: "Designed by America's most famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the Meyer May House was commissioned in 1908 by a prominent Grand Rapids, Mich., clothier. A example of Wright's now-famous Prairie style of architecture, it was restored to its original concept by Steelcase and opened for visitor tours in 1987. The Meyer May House offers the public a rare opportunity to view a totally designed living environment, a composition of light, planes, and space just as Wright envisioned it in 1908. Before restoration began, extensive research was conducted to determine the original building design. Interviews were held with relatives, neighbors and friends of the May family, Wright scholars, past building occupants, historians and local residents. Documents about Frank Lloyd Wright were also studied to pinpoint information on the Meyer May project itself and Wright's Prairie style of architecture. Historic photos, drawings and documents were found in public institutions and private collections. These proved to be the most valuable tools in reconstructing the history of the actual structure and its contents and provided the framework for the restoration, which was completed in the fall of 1987."

Meyer May

I am not a huge FLW fan but this place is pretty impressive. Just outside of downtown grand rapids it is worth a visit if for nothing else than to admire the preservation efforts of Steelcase. They have to be spending a fortune to keep the place intact and it shows.

Mud Slide

Here we are doing a little mud sled riding. Wet and messy but fun.

Buffalo get Owens

I think the predictions of a long year in Buffalo because of TO are going to turn out to be way off. Buffalo's pragmatic blue-collar team mentality will be the perfect fit for TO's desire to win. Now if Lynch stays out of trouble this could be the year they finally win it all. Based on the press conference he is going to do everything a person can to put his best foot forward.
