Fall in New England

As hot as it gets in New England's humid summer, and as frigid and miserable as the winters gets, the array of colors that appear in fall may possibly make up for it....

Precious Paper

I'm a sucker for emphera and papers of all shapes and sizes....espcially when they come in an

adorable grab bag-like pack, ready for crafting. They just beg to be sorted and admired. I'm so anal that I will open, admire, decide that whatever project I was going to use them for, is just not good enough, put them away, only to repeat the process numerous times with different projects. This is the same reason that I still have a box full of stickers from when I was little because no school folder ever deemed itself worthy. Analyze that.

Hebron Harvest Fair

So every year since I can remember, I've always headed to the Hebron Harvest Fair in Septmeber. It was always the week after school started and a reason to celebrate. It was an excuse to eat too much, hang out with friends, and spend $4.00 on powdered lemonade. My mom would always make me get 'dinner' fried dough, because when it has sauce on it, it must be healthier! This year was a little sad though, empty booths due to expensive fees, really high ticket prices, and a lack of raspberry lime rickeys made me realize the commercialization of the little town I grew up in. With a single ride on the ferris wheel (which was not even running) at a staggering $5.25, I stuck with my corn dog and enjoyed the demolition derby with old friends and new ones.One of the few running rides

Empty and still

Demolition Derby: The Real American Dream

Sweet Rides

I have such a soft spot for these old pick-ups. On one hand I am very practical, as in 'I can't get a truck, I cart oo many friends around' or "no, the gas is too expensive for the amount of driing I do.' Then the other little guy on my shoulder says 'But they're amazing! Think of how cute you'd be in it!' Isn't these a saying about real girls driving trucks....the last two are even for sale!

Today, take a moment to think about where we've been, where we are, and where we're going.

I had to add this because J told me not to. These are "super, uber, fantastical nachos." And that's a quote.
