July 6th

In preparation of our move, we started cleaning out our books. There are going to our local library tomorrow. T and I are both a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning out bookshelves, drawers, and closets. The closet is next!

July 5th

Back in NY, T and I took advantage of the sunny day and went to the local state park. He beat me in cribbage and we relaxed with our books. Can we have three day weekends every week?!

July 4th

We had such a good time playing golf that I didn't take a photo today. (Slap my hand.) The scorecard was mysteriously lost when all four of us played badly. I did have one fabulous drive and one fantastic chip shot. The other 8 holes were not so good. But it was a great day and it didn't rain. Happy 4th!

July 3rd

T and I spent the weekend in CT with our Italian Adventure partners. We had a really relaxing time barbequing, playing cards and drinking wine. The framed pictures are the ones being donated to our new house, pictures of T and all his friends from their travels. I had to ixnay the one of T in a horribly shiny shirt taken in Cancun.

July 2nd

With just over two months until our Italian Adventure, we are knee deep in planning! My enginerd husband was very proud of my use of colored pencils to designate which day a particular sight would be visited.

July 1st

Yet another storm blowing in...five minutes after this was taken, the sky was black. How much do I love the East Coast summer?

June 30th

I am obsessed with our ice cream maker. On the menu tonight: Peppermint ice cream with junior mints!
