One of the crazier experiences that I’ve noticed lately, is how few possessions I have.
I still own the same number of things or -to be more accurate- the things I’ve purchased over the years are still in my house, but they’re no longer “my” things. They’re “ours.”
For instance.
Today Claire and I were discussing honeymoon locations when Claire said:
Why don’t you look that up on the ipad?
An innocent enough statement, you might say. But let’s look at the implications here. Continue reading
Before this post can even begin, the big question is: does anyone know of a good photo collage-making website? Because seriously, this has plagued me all day and I can’t seem to find the website that once changed my life with this ability. (Suggestions, please. I am really, really really really in need of finding the answer to this question. Back to the original post.)
How was everyone’s weekend? Ours was eventful and relaxing, which always is the perfect combination. It also put in to motion several blog posts for this week that I think you will find quite entertaining, if you find us so. (And I assume you do – otherwise, why are you here?)
Friday, we scooted up to Pawleys Island for an overnight trip with Jamey’s parents and their friends from Williamsburg. It was great to hear more stories about little Jamey, reminisce of Georgia, and have a delicious meal with a great group of people. (I am craving some of those clams and sauce right now…this flashback to winter weather is draining.)
We also took the gear to make garden sours for the group, which didn’t turn out as well as they usually do. Continue reading
Many things are happening today that make me very happy:
1) Jamey is going to be back from Pennsylvania;
2) We’re going to scoot up to Pawleys for the evening to have fun with his parents and their friends;
and 3) we are taking the necessary ingredients to make some garden sours.
Other than that, who knows what this weekend has in store. We probably are going to take care of some household-y things tomorrow (like re-potting our poor lavender plant and ferns…more on that later), and catch up on other miscellaneous Charleston things that probably won’t involve leaving the three-block radius of our house. (I’m thinking a grocery store run might be in store, and when I say run I mean walk. That’s a little more than three blocks…but you get the gist.)
This weekend is also one of the last before we get really busy, since April is a slammed month of traveling (mostly Jamey) and travelers (can’t wait for a few select visitors to make their way down to my humble abode!) In the meantime, we’re going to savor this weekend and make the most of our time together.
Hope y’all have a great weekend!
P.S. – How do you like our new banner and tagline? We figured “Blabbin’, Cookin’, and Lovin'” better represented our current conversations – which doesn’t mean I’ll finally simmer down on wedding talk. Oh, no. We are just getting started.
This doesn’t really tie into the “Jamey and Claire” theme of this blog so much, but then I realized, of course it does!
My younger brother Ross will be performing during a segment of our wedding, so it makes sense to share with you some of his music. This is his music video he created for the Folgers jingle contest. Music, lyrics and performance are all by him:
I’m very proud. I don’t know of a voting process to help him win, but if there is you can bet I will be sharing it with you!
