Brunch with a View


I wish I could have this view with all my meals!
As a side note, I have been finishing my second quilt. I made the topper for this quilt quite some time ago but finally got around to finishing it up and taking it to the long arm quilter last week! I plan on giving this quilt to my grandma for Christmas. I feel pretty okay with posting about it here because I don't think she reads my blog (and if any of the fam does - don't tell her about the present!) I plan to take some pictures as soon as I can get back into our house after the great bathroom remodel is over! How could I forget my camera???

Our Weekend Getaway

Every fall, DH & I spend a weekend at The Greenbrier. It is one of my favorite times of the year. Everything about this resort (and the little town it is in) is charming and unique.







We had a wonderful weekend and I already cannot wait to go back next year. I'll share more photos tomorrow!<>

If feet gross you out...don't read this post.

So my husband has a obsession.

If he has a pen/highlighter/any writing utensil he immediately reverts to a 5 year old school boy and has a sudden urge to make his mark. His favorite "thing" to mark with his graffiti - me! It is insane. Marks to the face, arm, whatever he can get before I shriek and struggle away. Tonight, while I was trying to read my favorite blogs this is what happened to my poor big toe.

(sorry for the grainy picture - taken with my blackberry [i heart you blackberry!] as we are staying at the in-laws for the week while our big bathroom remodel is taking place!)

Even though I hate it...it does make me laugh. Love you husband!

Falling leaves

While I love the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet, I sometimes wish they could remain on the trees in all their vivid glory forever. However, part of what makes fall so special is the fleeting cycle of the changing of colors and then falling of the leaves. Fall can slip past us in a flash. Take time to enjoy the season.

Happy Sunday!

My current (breakfast) obsession


Whole wheat blueberry Eggo waffles. Granted they are frozen (sometimes you just have to eat frozen food in my situation) but add some pure maple syrup and a little unsalted (the only way to go) butter and mmmm! The perfect quick breakfast.

However, when time allows (like this weekend...DH and I are enjoying a special weekend that I will share more about later this week...don't want to spoil it yet because I can't upload my pictures onto my laptop to share with you) a good homemade Belgian waffle with pure maple syrup, whipped cream and warm peach compote is mighty nice. That's what is for breakfast this morning :) As I said, can't wait to share pictures with you when we return to the home computer where I can upload pictures.

Have a great Saturday!
