US v. Brazil, Women's World Cup

Sunday morning, watching the 2011 Women's World Cup [link to schedule etc.] at Midtown Global Market (where you can watch all the games for free on their public TVs).

The USA made a last minute goal to tie with Brazil, then won the game in a kick-out.

Belong

The mosaic on the side of the Minneapolis Peace House reads, "A Place to Belong."

Their site says, "Peace House is a welcoming community located in a storefront in the Phillips neighborhood in the heart of inner city Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Founded and supported by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, we support one another by prayer and meditation and respectful listening.  All who come to Peace House share on an equal footing with each other as persons."

James' House

James, enjoying the ambiance of his colorful house, originally built in 1878 in the Eastlake (architect Charles  L.) style, then reframed into the current Craftsman style.  As an artist and (retired) art teacher,  James is applying his whimsical sensibility to adding decor to the interior, a studio, and the yard.  It's an ongoing project.
