Hello, friends! Goodness have I ever been busy. So busy that I can't even seem to catch up with, well, about anything. We just got back from one road trip and here I am showing you photos from two road trips ago. Albeit, it was only last weekend. Like I said...busy! The weekend before the 4th of July holiday weekend, we drove to St. Louis to visit Mel's sister and our brother-in-law, niece, and nephew. We try to get ... Read more »

Antiquing, a huge pig, a garden party dress & Indie Untangled launch
First and foremost, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all of the wonderful birthday wishes I received last week here and across social media! ♥ ♥ I really did have a great birthday, and thank you all for helping with that. :) To cap off my birthday week, we headed up to Wisconsin on Saturday.

Non-camping weekend activities
This weekend we were supposed to go camping in Wisconsin with our friends, but the weather had other plans. Now, we are not lightweights. We've camped in the rain. We've camped in the cold.

Recap of last weekend
OMG. I need a break from the knit-along math. I need to talk about something else for a change. :D Last Friday, I was talking with my lovely and talented friend Moe over at her blog, Stitch, about shoes, and the subject of cowboy boots came up. I realized that I hadn't worn mine in ages, so I thought hey, what a good excuse to bring them out, since we were going out that night with friends after all. So I went for my ... Read more »
