Alborz, Deep Creek, and Jim Gaffigan

Before Julia departed for Deep Creek, we started our new 1000-piece puzzle. I really hope to make some progress before she leaves; otherwise, how depressing to work on it alone. We also had delicious hanger steak from Wagshals. Julia said it reminded her of Poppie's steak--couldn't have asked for a better compliment.

Meme and Julia picked up Emmie from Dulles Airport and made their way to the lake on Tuesday. She is having an excellent time with her cousins and the Breens. Many thanks to the Sarrges and mom for hosting her.

Steven and I went to see Jim Gaffigan (awesome!) at Wolf Trap--hysterical. Before the show, we ate at Alborz Persian Restaurant. Steven got the filet mignon and sausage and I got the beef kabob. It was delicious, a hidden gem in Tysons.
