Etsy Adventures

So that funky apron that's been sitting in the sidebar for months has finally made its way to my side. Adam's mom surprised me by giving it to me for my birthday - so exciting!

We made a long-weekend trip up to Montreal to celebrate my birthday and hers, had some good food and good company. It's funny, no matter how much I want to make any trip, by the time I crash out at the end of the first day away, I just want my own bed and my own cats to cuddle.

I suspect my adventuring days are waning, or at least the adventures are evolving.

Whoa.

Sorry about that. It's been a busy summer. Let me recap:

Memorial Day Weekend at Mirbeau (where we had our honeymoon)
Visit to Montreal to see Prue's first solo painting exhibition
Mom & Prue both came to us for a visit
We celebrated our second wedding anniversary
I travelled to Baltimore for a conference for work
I went to Ft. Lauderdale to visit my friend Heidi
Adam returned to Montreal for another visit
We joined our first CSA - split with Bethany & Joe
Many weeds were pulled, by many different people
There were picnics & BBQs with friends
We had a very cute brown bunny in our backyard
Rochester got a second Chipotle
Adam installed lights, ceiling fan and baseboards in the attic
The attic is finished to the point that we started moving furniture up!

I hope you have all been enjoying your summer, keeping well and thriving! I'll try to be a little more reliable with the posting from now on.

I Think I've Found a New Salon

Seen on my walk around the neighborhood today. Look carefully. Not only can you see what a gorgeous day it is (witness that scrap of cloudless blue sky), but the tagline on this hairdresser's sign is worth stopping for. I can just imagine the level of creativity they put into their creations...

"1 on 1 Elegancy"

Why on earth would you go anywhere else to get your hair done? Why?!

The cat and groom have lived together for 10 years.

Oh. Wow. Check it out.

Don't Tell Mother...

Two weeks later and I only just realized that the Mr. was on the other side of the planet for 10 whole days, and Mother Nature did not once take aim at me. Granted, she was awfully busy at the time what with managing complete chaos in Europe via a naughty Icelandic volcano who shall remain nameless (at least here, because there's no way I'm trying to spell it). Perhaps she thought that the effects of that chaos would reach as far as my house, but I survived unscathed.

I'm thinking I shouldn't taunt her. The Mr. has another trip planned soon.
