Spring, are you here?

It sure looks like it, too bad the weather keeps running a muck. Although, I must admit the next 4 weeks are filled with FUN activities.

1.5 weeks till I'll be bike riding, fishing and lounging by the pool and ocean in Florida. Gotta love the $39 round trip airline ticket!!!

2 weeks after that I'll be in the Dominican Republic, soaking in the sun and watching a friend get married.

Then another 2 weeks later I'll be in Canada for a fun weekend of hiking, fishing and kayaking!

In between all of this will be a bridal shower, bachelorette party, lots of Baseball, a trip DC, a trip to NYC...

YEAH SPRING

Song Anyone?

A friend's daughter wrote herself a song that she likes to sing. Being a shy girl, she would not sing it , but was more than willing to write it down for me to read.

Simplicity/creativity of children is really quite amazing at times.

Off to the Races

I am a lover of craft. Amazing attention to detail on the small stuff is really what I get into. The small tangible things that have an ability to strike a cord are really worth looking into.

Here are some homemade game pieces ... quite beautiful. I can only hope to remain this crafty as life progresses. I've held onto it for quite some time, but I must admit, it can fall by the wayside if not properly watched after.

Midtown Brunch

Saturday turned out to be a beautiful day in the city. I had a morning appointment followed by brunch, followed by some time in the park, vintage shopping and the museum. Talk about a full day!

I'm so excited that the weather has warmed up (not to mention spending the day getting to walk around in it)!

Shower Present

I finally finished my the gift for my sister. Here is a sampling of the baby onsies I made. I decided to bring a little of the Delaware Valley to good old Tennessee for her. It was a fun project and had been quite a while since I got to do something like this!

Doors?

I had to survey some doors at work. Gotta love the scenery, walking campus throughout the day is amazing. Although it is very different than working in the city, being in a walkable environment it what is important to me.

I don't think I could survive working in an office building in the middle of suburbia that was surrounded by a parking lot.

What's Old is New Again

My new fav necklace is created from salvaged materials from the 1930s, including the crystal from a Spanish chandelier.

It is truly unique and I've worn it quite a bit lately.

Vrapple!?!?

Having grown up in the Delaware Valley, I must admit Scrapple was part of the experiance. While I never bought it myself, I was always open to eating it when offered.

Vrapple, however, is AMAZING! It's vegan scrapple and quite delicious. All ingrediants are identifyiable and locally sourced.

Everyone should try this, you can find it at Reading Terminal and Essene.

Resurfacing

She's alive?!?! Well now that I have surfaced, we need to catch up with lost time...there is soooo much going on!

Out of Sync

Rather than playing catchup, I think it's time to start new!

Welcome to good times. Kudos to Gina for $2 Riversharks tickets (thanks RU!).

Great evening, beer and dinner at the pub, baseball and fireworks. We slid in just before Hanna and the rain!

Working Hard

This picture is from a nice late winter / early spring day. We hiked to deep southern NJ to review a roofing contractors installation.

It came through in my email earlier today... look at the long hair!

For good measure

Another campus photo.

Life has been a bit stressful lately. It's to be expected, lots of change can bring lots of adjustment.

I'm pretty successful not letting other people's stress get to me. I just need to stay the course and I'll be ok.
