Purple pictures at Phipps Garden Center

After the week that we just had, it was time for some fun.  Grandma Deni arrived via train early Saturday morning ("Grandma Deni!  Choo-Choo!  Pumpkin!") and was greeted with glorious autumn sunshine. Perfect for the outdoor photo shoot I had snagged from a Groupon deal.  We took a few warm-up shots while we waited for our turn.

 And what better way to celebrate a tear-free photo shoot?  A lunch stop at a new Squirrel Hill noodle bar.  Both the food and the service were outstanding and we all just loved it. A nice start to the weekend!
