(the day after) monday mashup

We spent a great weekend at Smith Mountain Lake in VA this past weekend.  The time was spent reading, biking, laughing, playing cards, and enjoying friends. Our two pups went along and spent hours in the lake- we had a great time!

 

 Just a little trivia- Smith Mountain Lake is actually where "What About Bob?" was filmed- so beautiful!

I am head over heels for this pup!

 

Huck was such a snuggler and Brody definitely had a run-in with a stool- not his finest moment.

 Cicadas were everywhere at the lake! We actually brought a stowaway with us to Winston!

 **happy memorial day**

monday mashup.2

Another great weekend here in Winston Salem. A few highlights...

 

1. A radish salad recipe I've been working on, especially now that our radishes are ready. (If you need a good recipe for radishes, please email- I'm happy to share!)

2. The latest on the chalkboard project- Seth came up with the quote.

3. A sweet vintage purse I found at a consignment shop this weekend- more to come on that shop soon!

4. Long evening of conversation and wine- these are some of my favorite times with the Mr.!

5. Grill master. 

 6. Fun night out with Kim and Erika celebrating Winston Salem's centennial celebration!

monday mashup

It's a rainy Monday morning and being off work today, I am finding much to do around the house.  Between laundry and cleaning up from margarita making last night (happy Cinco de Mayo), I thought I'd stop and share some highlights of recent life.  For me, part of breaking out of a consumerist thought process includes noticing those things I have and relishing the blessings of life. So without further ado, I'll share some of these things from life lately.

 **a great frame I recently scored at a secondhand shop- my plans for it will be revealed sometime soon!**

 

**local bar that is pet-friendly- the 3 boys and I had a great night out**

**hiking and coffee- what more could a girl ask for**

   

**craft day- made a wreath for the front door using my favorite leftover fabric and a ball of yarn, and painted the "love" piece, using a block of walnut wood from my childhood farm**

**happy monday and enjoy your blessings today**
