The 18 Foot Tree, Because My Husband is Clark Griswold

Hey Griswold. Where do you think you’re gonna put a tree that big? Bend over and I’ll show you.   Okay, Kurt is not at ALL like Clark Griswold, but ever since we bought our house with its 23′ great room ceiling, our Christmas Trees have been, well…obnoxious.

Smicksburg Cookie Tour

I fell off the wagon. But in my defense how was I to know they were going to have a cookie tour on my first weekend away from training? And what else is there to do in the middle of rural Pennsylvania but go on a cookie tour when you stumble across it? I was … More Smicksburg Cookie Tour

A Taste of Halloween Past

Sick again today. My body is just announcing the arrival of cold and flu season, but it’s enough to allow myself a reprieve from a long post and just give you a few photos of past Halloweens, non-Halloween costumes and Halloween-esque pics. If I hadn’t somehow fried or magnetized my best back-up drive, there would … More A Taste of Halloween Past
