Here is to Dads

The king mountain man in this house has a truck. Her name? Francesca. Well, this little lady all of sudden started making loud screeching noises and how will not start. "WHAT?!" My reaction exactly. Well, I knew just who to call. So here is to Dads...

Dads who know exactly what is wrong with your car even when he is across the state...every time.
Dads who figure out emergencies with ease and get things taken care of so we don't have heart attacks.
Dads who know facts about everything.
Dads who fix up cars which is just plain awesome.
Dads who laugh and light up a room.
Dads who work hard every single day of their lives and still seem to get off for family vacations and rock concerts.

Here is to Dads. Here is to my Dad.


What is awesome about your dad?

Roommate Wanted

Hello friends! 

I picked up JM and then sent him off again on a work retreat. I am thinking about getting a roommate because I pretty much live alone now with that guy adventuring around the globe. (okay, maybe this week has just felt REALLY long)

A few weeks ago, the hubbster and I went and visited my brother-in-law and his girlfriend. Family is awesome. 


The Sassybun counts for height, right?


To celebrate Labor Day and surprise JM, I made pistachio ice cream. So good, I had to hide it in the back of the freezer so I wouldn't eat it all myself. The recipe is an original from Janice @ thekitchentwist.com. Recipe will be up when we stop eating all of it and she can actually get a picture.

phone call

Before I head off to bed, I just wanted to update everyone on Joshua's status!!
He called me today from the high camp on Mount Rainier and said he and Mark will summit early in the morning (maybe to see the sunrise).
He amazes me every day. He is so brave and adventurous and I am lucky because he helps me be those things too. When people think of achievement they liken it unto climbing a mountain which he is doing. What an achievement to add to his book of life. I will let you know if I hear anything more and will write his whole story when he returns home!!

Good night dear friends.
