no place like home

Starting a post off with a complaint - admittedly, not a good way to start. That's why I'm starting with TWO complaints.

One: Is anyone else having problems uploading pictures to their blog?? As in, it takes forever & sometimes you get an error message? 

Two: Eew.

Today I saw the first bitty snowflakes of winter. They were stealthy little frickers, but they couldn't escape my eagle eyes. Get the heck out of here; it isn't even November yet.

Now that I've gotten that out of my system: home was amazing. 

Sweet western NY.

On Saturday, Victoria and I had a Good Apple sale in Rochester. Thanks to Mom, Jen, Kathleen & Katie for coming to see us & support us!

Hard at work...

Saturday evening we had a delicious meal at home. Dad & I made pie together, and we had family game night.

Sunday morning was cold, sunny & beautiful.

In the afternoon, clouds rolled in, but thankfully we were able to get a nice walk in before the rain hit.

Mookey & Elly were fast friends and a riot to watch together.

All in all - a fabulous weekend with people I love. Only one month until I see my fam again!

strawberry festival, take 2

All things considered, we did alright at the Strawberry Festival. Definitely better than last year. Just like last year, a huge storm blew in on Friday night and we had to tear down quickly. Saturday was rainy and chilly all day. Despite the obstacles, we had a great time! We saw some interesting characters in Albion, watched the parade in the rain, shared a lot of laughs and made some money at the same time. It doesn't get much better.

Cool shot by Doug of the sign.

Either confused or just trying to reach high enough...

Dad helped me make tank tops as a surprise for Victoria.

We were able to see a lot of family again this weekend. Friday night, Doug & I had game night with Victoria & Jeremy and Lyndsay & Andy - we played what might be my new favorite game - Wise and Otherwise. Sunday afternoon we had a picnic at the pond for Father's Day - it was the perfect day for a picnic. We'll be home again for the 4th of July!
