While we were in Valle Crucis Papa took us to visit a friend of his who’d just built a palace house. OMG it was amazing. It’s available for rent. It has this amazing wrap around porch that I swear is bigger than my house. We toured the house then sat out on the porch and…

So, what did we do while in the mountains for a week? We visited the Mast General Store a few times, like we always do. While driving in and out of the Valle we noticed bunny hutches across from the Mast Farm Inn. So one day we stopped to visit the bunnies. So cute! They…

I’m home from spending most of last week in Valle Crucis. If you aren’t familiar with Valle Crucis, NC it is pronounced Valley Croosiss and means Valley of the Cross. I love it so much up there. It’s my favorite place to be. Time slows. I knit in the rocking chair on the front porch…

Hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day! Today we were in Columbia, SC for Aunt Gaddy’s 100th birthday! I’m heading up to the mountain house for a few days of family vacation tomorrow. Unfortunately CSP has a big project at work and couldn’t take off to join us. My BIL Marc works for the same…

Today I went down to Papa & Gigi’s to celebrate Father’s Day. Momo, Sara & the boys were there too. I gave Papa his annual photo book. This gift is always a hit and always brings a tear to his eye. He loved it. I make one every year on my Mac, compiling my favorite…

Papa was out of town for Father’s Day so we’ll celebrate next Sunday. On Father’s Day CSP’s parents came over for dinner. We grilled and played with the pugs. I swear, my MIL is the pug whisperer. No one else can hold Kiki for as long as she can.

Final story from the family visit. So, the night of the big dinner party I was busy cooking when Sara asked me for a phone book. I pointed to the cabinet where we keep them and went back to cooking. All the sudden I hear GASP! “I’m gonna tell Nanny what you keep with your…

Having your 86 year old Irish grandmother visit, along with your insane bio father, provides much entertainment. Add in a surprise visit from your 77 year old Irish great uncle, keep your 6 and 4 yr old nephews around, and your sides ache from laughing after a few days. Here are my favorite quotes from…

Jacob was in the bathtub complaining to Sara about his legs itching. My legs itch from the bites I got at Uncle Sherman’s farm. Who? Uncle Sherman. It’s Uncle Kevin. I know, but he likes me to call him Uncle Sherman. (laughing) Why? Because his name is Uncle Kevin. Cause Kevin is where you go…

Yesterday morning Zoe and I hopped in the car, stopped by 5bucks for a green tea frapp in my reusable Starbucks tumbler, and hit the road for Gigi’s house. We looked at pics from FloFamFest 2009 then went to visit Gmommy (real name Winkie) at the nursing home. We spent a couple hours cataloging Gmommy’s…
