Vienna

When I go back home to Virginia, I always try to get a lot of time in with my best friend Maria.  We've known each other since kindergarten, and our families are very similar.  In fact, growing up, our dads were always confused for each other since they kind of look alike.  Maria recently bought an amazing, gorgeous condo, after a long, long short sale.  She and her family repainted as soon as she moved in, and it looks fantastic.  To welcome her to her new place, I wanted to get her some housewarming gifts. 

First, I got some cute bowls, for when she has parties.  Then, I made her a painting for her room, since I like to paint.  Here is the painting I made.

We also made a trip to my favorite ice cream shop, which I heard, unfortunately, filed for bankruptcy recently.  We both got sundaes at Friendly's, of the Reese's variety.  THE PEANUT BUTTER SAUCE IS SO FREAKING GOOD.
