For Zoe Toft's International Edible Books Festival 2013: www.playingbythebook.net/international-edible-book-festiv... We restaged the cover of "The Secret Life of Bees," a book my daughter was assigned at school this year (7th grade).

Husband and son putting a star on Ystradgynlais, where husband's great-grandfather Davies came from. Later in the day, another star appeared on Ystradgynlais, but we didn't see who put it there.

Thanks, Lorin, I think it's lovely on him!

The festival organizer's little daughter was adorable for the event. No, the hat didn't stay on for long.

The festival organizer's little daughter was so sweet in her costume, munching a Welsh cake...

He liked this talking-head exhibit, "Patriots & Peace Makers: Arab Americans in Service to our Country." The screens were at the perfect height and size for engaging him.

Big shiny echo-y front hall was a good space for him to practice with the new wheelchair.

In downtown LA, on Spring Street, there is a public parklet in the space that used to be two curbside parking spaces. The parklet has seating, a little greenery, two stationary bikes, and a foozball table. I'm sitting on one of the "swings" in this photo.
