Wednesday, March 17th, 2010what happens at girls weekend you ask?
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Wouldn’t you like to know! It’s a secret and only for the girls in attendance to know. Okay, I will divulge some of the happenings.
This year we missed Phyllis. But, she was with us in spirit.
We stay up way too late. I mean WAY too late. By the time Saturday night rolled around I was falling asleep in conversation.
We talk. Hence the reason we stay up way too late.
We bring fun things to do. Magazines, books, crochet projects, movies and games. But this year we were exceptionally lazy and accomplished very little. Except for the talking part.
We eat. Everything from seafood to munchies to homemade treats. Oh and drink. Wine, liquor and soda and sweet tea are plenty. Where was the Hawaiian Punch this year?
We walk on the beach. We don’t care if it is windy and cold. We walk on the beach.
Sometimes we shop and find awesome bargains.
Sometimes we jump in the hot tub.
Or, the outside shower.
tick…tick…BOOM!
Monday, March 1st, 2010After a great weekend, which included a DATE DAY! while Haven stayed with grandma and grandpa, I’m gearing up for another great weekend: GIRLS WEEKEND 2010! I have a list a mile long of errands to run, things to do, items to pack, places to go and people to see before leaving the hubby for the Outer Banks. It’s so good to see the ocean and go a little crazy with the girls for a weekend and stay up way past our bedtimes.
well, looky there!

When looking at our landscaping project photos you might have noticed we’ve added on to our house by a couple hundred square feet. But, only when the sun is out and when we feel like opening it up. But, the best part is that it is on wheels, has two beds, a kitchen sink, a stove and can be hooked up to a propane tank and plugged in so we have heat, air conditioning and power. Pretty cool, huh? We’ve been on one camping adventure already and are looking forward to many more to come!

fall vacation 2009 : miracle’s wedding
Thursday, October 15th, 2009As I mentioned previously we attended the wedding of my cousin, Miracle. Prior to the wedding a friend (actually one of her bridesmaids, Chelsa Yoder) had taken bridal portraits. At the reception she had this picture framed and on display:
This one is my favorite:

linger
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009Mm, mm, I’d like to linger
Mm, mm, a little longer
Mm, mm, a little longer here with you
Mm, mm, its such a perfect night
Mm, mm, it doesn’t seem quite right
Mm, mm, that it should be my last with you
Mm, mm, and come December
Mm, mm, I will remember
Mm, mm, our campfire bright and friendships true
Mm, mm, and as the years go by
Mm, mm, I’ll think you you and sigh
Mm, mm, this is goodnight and not goodbye
We are home from a near perfect vacation at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. More later…

Frozen custard. Chocolate, vanilla and a flavor of the day. Wisconsin style. And, if that doesn’t do it for you, there’s an assortment of sorbets (including my favorite, apple cider), ice cream truffles, homemade marshmallows, giant cookies and Sprecher beverages. Yep, you are on your way right now. You might even run into the president while you are there. Don’t forget to pick up a puppy pop for Fido on your way out the door.
