Toys and Trips

Ohhhh....

Meet my new little 'toy'! After wanting one for quite a while, I got a new gas grill - yeah! Last summer I bought a little charcoal grill to try to sooth my urge (notice the little red guy to the right), but it just wasn't the same and I didn't use it as much as I would have - something about having to wait 45 minutes for the coals to get gray just sort of spoils the thought of coming home and cooking something quick for dinner.


So, I happened upon a screaming deal at Lowe's and had the fortune of a friend's husband help me with the whole purchase, as he works there! I went for a tub of spackle, and left with a grill!


I won't be using my new toy for a few days, though. Today, I am heading up north for a few days of true rest and relaxation! Where? might you ask?? Oh, to that little corner of Earth that smiles for me... a cabin tucked back in the woods. No electricity. No phone. No computer. But a fully furnished, beautiful log cabin with all the amenities one needs... stove, frig, fluffy beds, porch, trees, critters, blue skies, mountain breezes, starry nights. My slide show is from this little corner, as is the 'hum-dinger' movie.

My ya-ya's and I started making this summer trip 2 years ago...this will be our third summer. M and her cute-as-a-bug friend Miss M, will be coming, as well... so 5 girls in one cabin tucked in the woods... pure fun! For some reason, N and R and I drag 2 weeks worth of food up with us! It's crazy!! We might want this, or we might need this, or I might feel like having this.... so beaucoup money and shopping trips later, we pack up the cars and make the 3 hour drive north. Thing is, we'll be dragging 75% of this stuff back with us, but that's ok. It's all part of the spirit of getting away. Happy week to you all!
