i am in love

I stumbled across this website today, and fell in love. I need one of each of these in my home. Okay, maybe 2 of each.
(warning: most of the product shots have so nude girls reading the newspaper... just in case you shy easily from such things.)

lemon heaven

Our friends Machelle & Dylan, introduced me to lemon basil last night. They made us this amazing dinner - such great cooks. She put together some baguettes with cheese and this fresh lemon basil she grew, and oh! Why did I not know this herb existed?! I am growing it this summer and eating it every day from then on out.

it's just the right thing to do

I grew up around brothers, the neighborhood had more boys my age then girls... so I grew up loving starwars. Now... having 3 boys myself, I am happy they like it so much too. If you had any kind of childhood around starwars, you'll love this:

partners in crime

Ry just developed a bunch of rolls of film.
I love these shots of Jack and Cash... forever partners in crime.
Man I adore those little monsters.

House of Gold

Ry and the Lower Lights crew singing Hank Williams, House of Gold this weekend.
So nice to have him back home.

if you find yourself

Ry and the Lower Lights left this weekend to tour up through Boise Idaho, Burbank and Spokane Washington, for a few shows. If you find yourself anywhere in that area, you should hit them up. You will love it.

Here is link to the show info.

Now I just have to brace myself for a four day weekend being completely out numbered by kids with no reinforcements.

Let the games begin.

tip a 40 and say some words

My mixer went out on me today. After 8 years of loyal baking aid, he gave out one last mighty spin as I was mixing my frosting for my sugar cookies and that was that. He was gone.

RIP little mixer. Job well done.

I might have to start saving my pennies for this "hello gorgeous" KitchenAid beauty. What a dreamboat of a mixer.
