We celebrated my birthday this past week. We skipped selling at the market and instead dropped by an estate sale (I’ve always wanted to check one out) and lounged around in typical saturday manner. Garth photographed a wedding later in the day and Jack and I tagged along to Seville square even though [...]

Mom was planting a container garden on our porch.

Dad was painting Jack’s crib lime green.

And I was hooking a t-shirt rug with my feet up.

Dear Florida,
I’m writing to you from my last day in Spokane, WA. I have been enjoying the coolness of the summer (why you gotta be so scorching?), and the company of the fine people pictured below (plus about 10 more).
