Impromptu Break

Sophia and I (and Strawberry Shortcake) were headed to Starbucks to read some girl books. I called my sister. She was in.

So, Teri and her two daughters met us there. We squished around one little table with our delicious drinks. We played the Project Runway game, read Angelina Ballerina, and chatted as if we didn’t talk every day. It was so nice to take a little breather from the holiday busyness.

Two things I confirmed: 1) I have no future in designing whimsical sportswear. That game was a little demoralizing! 2) The 3-pump-grande-Caramel Brulee Latte is the way to go.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Last year on Thanksgiving, most of my family were in town. We shopped, cooked, ate, played and worried about my poor Dad. He had injured his back in a pile of leaves two days before Thanksgiving. It was a time of mixed emotions for everyone. Nevertheless, blessings abounded and still do. Today, he’s better than ever.

This year, I’ll be with Alan’s family. We’ll play football in the field (the kids will be filthy!), eat incredible food (Karen is a caterer!) and laugh a lot (that’s how they roll!).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here’s where we’ll be. I took this on Thanksgiving ’07 as the football players made their way back to the house for dinner!

Rest

Happy Sunday tomorrow! Mine will be — especially if I can manage a pleasant drive to drink in what’s left of the leaves. It’s been a busy week!

I took these images for my former church to use in their bulletin.

Happy Anniversary, Alan!

Our trip to New York City last week was, in a word, perfect. I have more pics to post (It’s hard NOT to go nuts in the MET!), but here are some of my favorite moments.

We had dinner at the Boathouse, Central Park. Our table was right on the stormy, blue water.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art was amazing. We spent almost 6 hours here. I’d go daily if I could!

We had breakfast in the comfort of our own suite.

I took this on one of our nice walks to Starbucks. Love the yellow.
