Back in the day I had a blog feature (which sounds more organized that it was) called FridayFun. It was all about fun things to do over the weekend. Today I was looking through some photos and I realized that I had photos for just such a thing, and for a feature I wanted to [...]

Two thoughts on the Royal Wedding

Two things: Some people are being a nasty about the wedding. Can I just point out to some of the people of my acquaintance that some of you actively preach the importance and holiness of marriage? For those of you, you certainly don’t have to watch, but try appreciating that this couple, one of the [...]

I haven’t taken good pictures of my birthday presents, for the most part, because some of them are not yet in use, but I don’t mind mentioning what they are all the same, because I really like them. So… the yarn. But first, a bit of background. A few months ago my mom and I [...]

After getting home from taking photographs and uploading them, we had about an hour before we needed to leave again for dinner. My dinner choice was the fault of my once-a-month knitting group (as opposed to my weekly knitting group). A while ago we all met at Katie’s and someone (Haley? Heidi?) brought some leftover [...]

While my birthday is the 22nd of November, who wants to try to be birthday-ish on a Monday? Especially a Monday that is a work day. Blech. So I, as is often my custom, declared the weekend before My Birthday Weekend. My Birthday Weekend is designed to feature heave spoiling of myself, sometimes even by [...]

Early July adventure, part 6

Wow, this is part 6, and it’s not even the last. I could have made it one long post, but then, if you’re anything like me, you’d have not made it far. So I hope it was a good decision. Our location that night was a pottery shop called Horseshoe Mountain Pottery. It’s a fascinating [...]

Early July adventure, part 5

We drove north through Mount Pleasant and found ourselves in Fairview. When we had talked to our innkeeper, Carly, she told us that Fairview had “a surprisingly good art museum.” I always like things that are surprisingly good, so we decided to check it out. I know that a lot of small towns in that area have a [...]

Early July adventure, part 4

We decided to first go south, as we were already pointed that way when we pulled out. We drove through Ephraim, and on the way back through there we took a slight diversion to look at the campus of Snow College. We only looked at one side of it, but it was neat. I like [...]

Early July adventure, part 3

Truth be told, I have always wanted to stay in a Bed and Breakfast. It always seemed so quaint and New England-y. And it was. Our room was the Evelyn Room, a peach (color, not fruit) themed room with a jetted tub and a queen bed. The Inn itself is Victorian home that the inn keepers restored, [...]
