visual assignment
From Vanya's post-
I see a building newly built, but aged to perfection. The exterior walls have been painted to be old and stained. There are Cracks and vines throughout the entire façade. The colors on the frames of the doors and windows are warm, making it appear to be a friendly place. The doors are large but not demeaning they are more of a welcome. The wood is also aged, painted to look teaked and warn. When the doors are opened you are hit with an instant rush of sounds. People are chatting and dishes are clinking. As you sit at you table you receive a wine glass brought by the waitress; she pours you ice water. She is wearing a white shirt, black pants and a nice half apron. Her smile is so warm and inviting, it almost makes up for the baby who won’t stop crying in the both next to you. A lady with a very large yellow hat is bury shushing the kids at the table with her.
All the ladies are wearing wonderful flowy dresses in spring colors and the men in their khakis. The children are wearing crisp clothes that will soon be stained with spaghetti sauce and cheese. All seems happy and lovely on a wonderful weekend afternoon. Families are talking and stories are being told, what a lovely way to spend an lazy afternoon.
