More Hilton Head

Since I know that not everyone in the world has had the opportunity to go to Hilton Head, I wanted to attempt to give you a taste of what Hilton Head is "like."  So here are a few pictures to illustrate.

Scavenger Hunt

Whenever my friend, Mindy, goes on roadtrips with her friends, they make a scavenger hunt to do.  Mindy made one for Katie and me when we went on our Excellent Adventure which you can read about here, here, here and here.

since we've been gone

I can understand if you didn't notice I was gone, because I'm not super-regular at keeping up with this blog-thing.  

But we've been gone.  For a week, in fact.  

Walking Tico

Walking Tico is derived from Walking Taco.  Because Tico's in a bag.  Just like a Walking Taco.  Get it?


Last night we refilled the dog food container (we do this much more frequently since we have the boys now), and of course the dogs watch intently as Tim poured the food into the tub.

A Peck of Pickled Peppers

As the gardening season winds down, I periodically feel waves of panic that I need to be preserving what I can from the garden.   The only thing that really produced a preservable amount this year was my peppers.  I went out a couple of weeks ago and picked what was ready.

Happy Christmas Spirit Day!

What?  Christmas Spirit Day?  On a Tuesday? Are you kidding me, Steph?

Nope.  For reals.  For 10 years Christmas Spirit Days have been on Thursdays, and now we're changing it up.  

Last Weekend

I mentioned a few weeks ago that it was cold outside and we had built a fire in our fireplace.  We were really on a kick because we have built 4 fires so far this season.

This summer, a large windstorm hit our area.  Very few people were hurt, and I don't even know that many buildings were destroyed, but there was a lot of damage and a really big mess.  The city compost is burgeoning with trees, so last Sunday Tim borrowed a chainsaw, and went and picked up this load of "firewood."

Apple Week: The Finale

There is one more recipe that I feel I need to share with you.  I first had it when my coworker, Char brought it in to work.  Pioneer Woman posted it, so I will just direct you over to her versions.
