Flour

That's the name of the bakery we visited in Boston last yeek. YUM! I had heard that their sticky buns were awesome so we stopped by and grabbed a few. Double YUM!
They have a cookbook coming out in the fall...I wonder if their sticky bun recipe will be included!?! Judging from the cover of the book, I'd say yes. Lucky me!

My week in Mass

I'm back and trying to get myself organized and caught up. I'm always behind on everything anyway, so going away for a week really throws a wrench in things. My to-do list is a mile long...yet I've been sitting here at my computer looking at wedding favor ideas instead of tackling that stinkin list. Oh, by the way, I'm a procrastinator. Why have I been looking at wedding favors you ask. On my way home Friday night I got a text from my niece, Sarah. She said "Matt asked me to marry him and I said yes". I am so happy for them. They are absolutely adorable together. So...I'm looking at favor ideas just in case she asks for ideas.

Back to my post about Massachusetts. I love that state. Not as much as I love Pennsylvania, but it ranks high up there for me. Probably the main reason I love it so much, is that the three men that mean the world to me spend quite a bit of time there. We have an apartment up there which is why it is my home away from home. When I'm not here, I'm probably there.


We went to Boston. Did a little shopping. Went to the beach. When to Plymouth to see "the rock". Hung out. Ate out. Went whale watching and celebrated my oldest sons birthday. He's 24...where does the time go!?!


A dunkin donuts on practically every street corner. I don't understand!

Plymouth Rock




The pugs laid around all week and relaxed.
Went to Craigville Beach. We also went to Horseneck beach.


Love the new scrabble Cheez-its.


Massachusetts has a large population of Portuguese. These ladies on the side of this building in Provincetown were prominent women that kept the town afloat while their men where out to sea.

I tried to get him to hold still so I could get a decent shot but he wouldn't cooperate. Whale watching is awesome.

A quickie from Massachusetts

Hello!

I was just going down through my daily list of blogs and decided to take a peek at my own "very new" blog. I'm so excited! I have some new followers! Hello, again! Thank you for following me! It makes me feel encouraged to continue on. I am new to this and really have no idea what I'm doing. What I do know, is that I am excited to have finally taken the plunge into the blog world and cannot wait to see where it leads me. So many great blogs, so many great bloggers.

I didn't bring any camera cords to connect up and my iPhone broke (got a new one) so I can't even share any pictures from it...like the yummy sticky buns we had in Boston. I'm having fun at my home away from home an am taking pictures to share next week. Please hold on...please don't go away...I haven't even had a chance to get to know you...yet.

Mmm...Mmm...Mmm

Do you like yogurt? I do! I eat a yogurt almost every day for lunch. I add fruit and grape nuts. I think I've eaten grape nuts in my yogurt since I was 18. So it's been a few years {wink}. I've pretty much been a dannon yogurt gal and hardly ever buy any other brand. Then I tried Stonyfield Organic yogurt.
My world will never be the same! Yum! It is SO much better than any other brand I've ever tried. True flavor, fat free, not too sweet...just scrumptious. Love their website too. Stonyfield Farms
They've been around since 1983...that's about a year before I really started loving yogurt. All those years I've been settling, searching, for the perfect yogurt. So glad the search is over.

A little weekend fun

How was your weekend? Hope you enjoyed yourself!

Ours was productive, sprinkled with just enough fun. Saturday we took my "cute little row boat" out on the Somerset Lake.
We took our pug, Lily along for the ride. She enjoyed herself very much...after we dunked her in the water to cool down.


I spent some time in my hammock...one of my favorite places to be!

We worked on some projects around the house (pics later) and enjoyed being home. I LOVE long weekends!
How about you!?!

Awesome video

Please check out this video. I recently found her blog and am blown away by the posts and photography. This video is something! She is fostering such a wonderful childhood for her children...totally full of memories and most importantly a relationship with God.
