A's Weekend In Review

I have been absent over the past month and owe a huge kudos to D for keeping things moving here. In the past month I have transitioned at work, a bit at life, but mainly I've spent time with family and friends talking.

This past weekend was a respite and a transition into spring in PA. It was a great change of pace and helped push me forward and consequently back to Ladder to the Stars.  I took Friday off and spent that time with family, did a bit of bachelor party planning with a college friend and had brunch with my Aunt and Uncle. Perfect kick off to the weekend.

The one thing I did this weekend that has been on my 2013 list was geocaching. It was perfect and I am glad that I went searching for a plastic container in the woods. I won't regal you with the account of finding the container (image below) but I will say that it was a great way to see neat parts of the town I live in (image below below). It also was a great way to take in the warm weather. Geocaching involves trinkets and leaving things in the container once you find it - it was neat to see what others had left and I need to think of a trinket for myself.

Found the Cache!


Found springtime!
Thanks for having me back.

D's Weekend in Review

It was a slow weekend, always welcome around here! I want to just say that the Suntegrity face sunscreen is non-greasy and won't leave your face or neck with that weird white-cast some physical sunscreens leave behind. Finally a facial sunscreen I actually like and doesn't cause breakouts. On to the photos! All from the iPhone, I didn't snap that many this weekend. Too busy drinking wine and trying to decide if I still like Game of Thrones.

June, saving the spot


Dog walkin'. I took a bunch of snaps from this walk, but most of them feature Andy's calves. Y'all aren't ready.

D's Two Weekends

I promise that this blog isn't just becoming a series of weekend posts with photos of my dogs and some food. Well, it maybe is becoming that for a bit, but soon we'll do some recipes, some thoughts on random bits of life. For now, I think things will be a little sparse around here. April is shaping up to be another busy one, but I think A and I both miss writing here more regularly. So, keep us in your RSS reader (which one are you using now? I like Feedly, but is there another one you like more?) or keep visiting us now and again.

Included here: the past two weekends. Last weekend, I had a visit with a friend and some Easter celebrating. This weekend, I didn't feel super well on Saturday, but still went to a family wedding and spent Sunday getting groceries, doing laundry and other assorted boring housekeeping stuff. Of note: that Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie below had a pretzel crust!

Lately: D's March Edition

It's been almost a month! March was pretty full, I've attached some shots below. Andrew and I were reunited in Pennsylvania for St. Patrick's Day and it was perfect!! Otherwise, this month has been doctor visits, working a little late, massive haircut, and changing up the house a bit. I'll do some photos from this past weekend in tomorrow's post!
