National Christmas Tree
John and I got in the Christmas spirit a bit this week. Friday evening we had a nice steak dinner at the Hamilton, then walked over to see the National Christmas Tree – lots of folks were out enjoying the sights. All of the buildings look so pretty at night with the garland and wreaths!

I really enjoyed Pamela’s visit this week! We chilled on Monday and watched the rest of “Handmaid’s Tale,” and on Tuesday we went to the Phillips Collection. They had a special exhibit of Renoir’s “The Boating Party.” It was a beautiful gallery, and I also enjoyed getting to see my favorite Georgia O’Keefe painting, “Taos Church.” Tuesday night, one of Pam’s former student workers came over for a visit.

Pam left early Wednesday morning, so it was back to work for me. I had a fun lunch on Thursday with Pamela B., Tammy, Lisa, and Jenny at Tonic. Those girls are so funny and smart, and really make me laugh.
Yesterday was a bit rainy and blustery, but I braved the elements to go to the Renwick Gallery. I saw their permanent collection, plus a very interesting exhibit of diorama crime scenes, made in the 1940s by the first woman police chief in the country in her effort to train police on the proper way to work a crime scene. Oddly enough, she was also the heiress to the International Harvester fortune. It was fascinating!
John and I walked over to Georgetown this morning for a 9AM showing of “The Last Jedi” – it was lots of fun! We stopped for a bite to eat on the way home. It’s cold out!
