We’ve come to this area of Pennsylvania several times in the past, but I didn’t realize until afterward that it’s really close to New York City! Visiting that city has made its way onto my bucket list, and knowing we were going to be three hours away and had a weekend with nothing to do [...]
1. Lancaster County, PA
2. Naples, FL
3. Cape Cod, MA
4. Paris, France
Strike that! Maybe my list should look like this…
1. Paris, France
2. Naples, FL
3. Lancaster County, PA
4. Cape Cod, MA
Nope… I just can’t decide. We’re deep in the heart of Amish country in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania right now, and it has me stopping to think of [...]
Guess where we went for dinner last night? Here’s a hint…
Yup. Cracker Barrel.
Again. (But a different one in a different state.)
And because we’re creatures of habit, we played checkers.
Again.
And sat in rocking chairs.
And played mind bender puzzles.
Today, we went on and did something new.
We went to Tahd’s homeland.
It’s an “Amish Country Store” in Ohio.
No, Tahd [...]
We’re on a little trip – our first “official” road trip, and although I feel like I’m having a pretty good time, I can’t help but wonder these things…
How is it that a five hour trip turned into 10.5 hours?
How is it that our trunk is mostly empty and our passenger compartment is chock full [...]
We’ve been off on little adventures this week, here and there, up and down, sitting and standing, laughing and crying. These are my favorite weeks – the ones filled with regular life punctuated by moments of hoopla and diversion at varying but comfortable intervals so that neither intensity nor simplicity overwhelm.
We started with a trip [...]
1. Scrapbooking
For a long time I’ve been wanting to try my hand at digital scrapbooking. When Designer Digitals had their Christmas in July sale I picked up a few templates and overlays on sale. I didn’t have a chance to try it out until this week, but so far I’m generally pleased with the results.
This [...]
We’ve been traveling lately so our lives have felt very random. When all is said and done, I think Gabe and I will have spent 25 nights away from home over a 6-week timespan. For Tahd it will be even more. As such, this is a random post reflecting the craziness and randomness of our [...]
This. I want to remember this. I want to remember walking into Disney World with Gabe for his first time and feeling the excitement in his being, experiencing the wonderment all around. I want to remember the fairy tale of that week. I want to remember walking in and feeling the sense of bittersweet nostalgia [...]

We don’t do it often, our trips to The Farm. Although we collectively agree that we love to be there, a few things stand in our way. First, Tahd’s travel schedule. It seems he’s gone just often enough to make weekend trips annoying. Next, we had hoped to go in May, but May turned out [...]
For some reason our city decided to do their Independence Day celebration on July 5th instead of the 4th. Not thinking in the “logical” fashion of our city events’ coordinators, we assumed we’d go to fireworks last night. Nope! Thanks to a Facebook friend I was alerted to the fact that there would not, in [...]
