Go away snow! Summer where are you?

I hope it warms up soon, my winter coat is getting harder to button.

While Brooke's getting bigger, peanut is stil a creeper.

It was too cold by the window so I had to move my seedlings back into the greenhouse.

Worst Spring ever.

The snow was actually very pretty. We talked about going snowshoeing until it turned to cold rain. And yes that is our Christmas tree. We have plans to cut it up to use as kindling.

For breakfast Scott suggested big pancakes. We hadn't had that for awhile so I was excited. Although we had to substitute buttermilk for milk and spelt flour for all-purpose flour.

Back during our honeymoon I thought it would be fun to jump in the sand dunes. I forgot my camera was in my back pocket and eventually sand got in the lens so it stopped working. Scott finally got around to fixing it.

I took it apart a week ago to see If I could get the sand out of the lens.

That didn't work. So, I ordered a new lens off of eBay and arrived on Saturday. I think it's the first time I used the site. 

The pancakes didn't turn out at all. I hate when you're excited about something and it doesn't turn out the way you expect.

Oh you should've been here. She was so grumpy. I did my best.

I could only eat the middle and even that was hard.

But look! You got a hat out of it.

The last time I went to the library I got excited and checked out a bunch of books. I'm actually reading them all at once. Today seemed like a good day to do some reading.

Yay my camera works again.

I may not change my own oil (though I could), but I can fix a tiny camera and not lose any screws.

Scott was bored and wanted to get out of the house. He suggested we get some rug grips and I needed to get some soil, so we headed to Menards.

Even going from the car to the store was not nice. It was windy, wet and cold.

They didn't have any organic seed starter soil (neither did Home Depot) but they did have Easter candy on sale.

I guess that's something. We also passed on getting more new handles for our kitchen cabinets. The budget is tight for May, so we're not spending more than we have to. Anybody need portraits, getting married or own a business

When we got home I started my favorite meal, Singapore Noodles.

I met up with Scott and some old friends after work yesterday, so I didn't have time to get this weeks bread started. This week we are making Sourdough Rye. It called for coarse rye flour. Luckily Scott got me this grain mill for Christmas.

It was actually my first time using it and I was pleased with the results.

Too bad the bread didn't turn out the next day. Not sure why, but it was extremely dense.

After dinner we bummed around until time for bed.

As Olive says "Go away snow! Summer where are you?"

Our Wedding

Brooke and I aren't traditionalists. We didn't want to sit through a half-hour ceremony, but we also didn't think eloping was the answer. One thing that we did do was spend the night before the wedding in separate houses.   Even though Scott came with me to pick out my dress I still didn't want him to see me before the wedding. I had to keep one tradition. I woke up early to meet Brooke's dad at the Theodore Wirth Picnic Pavilion, only to find out that he was meeting me a couple hours later. I ended up getting most of the decorations over to the venue with my dad, sister and Dennis.  Scott had texted me in the morning, "I'm supposed to merry your dad right now right?". I was like, merry my dad? What he meant to type, but autocorrect corrected for him was meet.  Since Brooke came over to the venue to help, I spent most of the rest of the day with Blake, Colin and Olger. We ate some Pair of Dice Pizza and...

Gift Cards are for Spending

Thanks to daylight savings I got up extra early today. For breakfast I had eggs. You thought it was going to be oatmeal didn't you?   Scott was working his early shift at work so I worked on chores. I hate when he works when I have off, but in a way I get more done with him gone. Like dishes.  Our last two pumpkins from our garden.    Before they could start going bad I roasted them in the oven.   I then soaked the seeds in salty water for roasting later.    This week I decided to clean out our buffet drawers. Each drawer was turning into a junk drawer and needed to be cleaned.    I first took everything out to go through what I needed and what could be thrown away/recycled.  I pureed the pumpkin to be used for future use. Like pumpkin woopie pies, mmm.  While cleaning out the drawers I stumbled upon some items left behind from the previous owners.  Now ...

RV Spring Break: Savannah to Miami

Oh, hey, we made it to Savannah. Time for a nice stroll (well, as leisurely as Brooke will allow).   I was pretty excited to be going to Savannah, even if we could only stay for a few hours. The tricky thing with having an RV is finding a place to park. The Fahm Avenue parking lot had RV spots and then we walked over to the historic district. Meadow should go to the Savannah College of Art and Design. You know, if she can get a scholarship. Savannah is just as cool in person as you think. I should have done at least one house tour. I had to embarrass Meadow with taking her photo in front of the first Girl Scout Headquarters.  Brooke got me to go into the beautiful Catholic church right in the historic district. I don't think I've ever been in a Cathedral Basilica. Usually it's one or the other. It seems like every few blocks there was a perfect square. We should build all cities like this. For lunch we went to Savannah Smokehouse . We ended up getting the sampler for 2, whi...
