Things To Love~
right this minute…
Mr. Beck’s little guy soccer game–that he simply LOVES!
A cozy comfort food of hash and hominy–a huge favorite dish from my childhood–that’s followed me to grown-up hood.
A couple of soggy water sprites that positively had to be locked out of the house.
Working on a few new patterns for the shop…more on that coming soon. :}
Patio lights on a warm summer evening.
A sleeping baby on your shoulder.
Musicians in the park just playing for the heck of it.
Meeting a dear, dear friend for the very first time…
and admiring all the gorgeous hats that she made by hand. This gal needs an Etsy shop I tell you!
Letting Miss Chompy check my purse for treats.
Finally, finally getting the coveted Root Beer Float Shave Ice–with real cream–before summer is totally…over.
For King and Country
When Dane and the Bald Kid were little fellows, their favorite toys on the face of the earth were these guys.
Oh, they took hours–sometimes all day–to set everything up…
and get everyone in their proper place, you know…
before the Vikings showed up…
and before the pirates attacked.
So this was a totally new experience for Miss Chompy…
sitting there minding her own business with her Duplo blocks and My Little Ponys…
to have this big, nutty guy swoop in with a fire breathing dragon and put all the calm creatures in terrible danger.
Ok, it’s getting personal now.
Pony Princess Celestia, meet Maid Marion.
Chompy watched intently to see how this knights-and-pirates-duking-it-out stuff actually works.
She didn’t know how she felt about all the sword swinging and painful sound effects, and pretend people dropping like flies…
and the limb lopping and…and…carnage. That just never happens in Ponyville. Is that a little plastic head I see over there?
Oh, run Chompy, run. These guys play too rough.
Wait…Miss Chompy–what are you doing? Miss Chompy?
“Dear King Arthur,
We regret to inform you that a giant two headed dragon ate your men. I hear he had a pretty little accomplice. Yeah, sorry about that.
There were no survivors.”
And Dane gets a million dollar fine for corrupting a perfectly decent 3-year-old.
Sheesh.
Waffle Love
Sooooo….we have a new friend, Lyndi, Miss Chompy and I…
and it comes in a great big, adorable truck…
with a very clever fellow inside named Adam. You wanna know just how clever Adam is?
This my friends, is how clever. Peaches and Cream Belgian Waffles, made fresh while you wait. And you must trust me when I say that these are the very best Belgian Waffles we’ve ever tasted…ever.
We found him just the other day at the Riverwoods Farmer’s Market in Provo and…well…
we haven’t been the same since. And it’s not just Peaches and Cream either. This guy has all kinds of fruits and berries and even…brace yourself…Nutella. No, I’m not kidding.
In fact, we came home and looked them up on Facebook and discovered that we could find out where the Waffle-Love folks were going to be the next day…and every day of the week for that matter. Why…just think of the possibilities!!
One day the Waffle-Love truck will be at the Farmer’s Market, the next day they may be in the canyon at Vivian Park and the next day they’ll be hanging out serving breakfast at Bradbury Apartments in Provo. You just have to check their site and you could become a Waffle Stalker…
just…
like…
us.
Lyndi says she’ll make T-shirts…
Dude. We are in so much trouble.
