It is a project lightly in the back of my head throughout the year, so my [...]

Westward Hoe! For our Valentine’s/Presidents Day long weekend, Ross and I drove West with no other plans than to see what we could discover… and what we uncovered was quite literally a “Trip”.

My Pumpkin Patch Party!
November 3rd, 2009 No Comments
I‘m not quite 30, but was still able to celebrate dirty… While, carving Pumpkins, that is! For my 29th Birthday Party, which is the day before Halloween, I converted my back yard into an outdoor living room and invited everyone to come on over and pick a pumpkin from my very own pumpkin patch.
