One of the very best things about living in Memphis (among many wonderful things) is that it's the home of Di Anne Price and her Boyfriends. They are my favorite band, bar none, and just happen to play in my local burger joint once a month or so. Even better, they usually play Sunday afternoons from 4 to 7, which is just perfect for me. I can walk over from my house, have a glass of wine and a little dinner, hang out with some friends, and still have plenty of time to read before bedtime.

We do usually meet friends, so I didn't get the full paints out. (Especially since said friends have a toddler who's into everything). But I did manage a few pencil drawings, since it had been a grey, cloudy day with no real chance to get outside to paint. Elmore, who had been tutoring, and Dad, who had been out at the farm, joined us for the last set, and it was lovely just to hang out with my people and listen to such an amazing band.
