A weekend at home
With the racing schedule of summer looming on the horizon, this weekend was the calm before the {good} storm. Supper club on Friday night in Granville, home of my alma mater. In Norman Rockwell’s perfect little village with good friends on the patio, a step back in time.
Farmer’s Market Saturday, gearing up for gardening. Strawberries, spinach, grilling cheese. Breakfast with a dear friend and her darling little boy, Ethan. By mid morning I was already sweating through my top. Oh hey, summer! Glad to see you came a little early.
Outdoor wedding on the river, jokes about the groom arriving by jet-ski and a picture perfect reception. We rode back to our car by a horse & buggy and asked the driver if he could take us to Hilliard-Rome Road. He said he would if we had 3 hours.
Book Club Brunch Club on Sunday. No one really read the book. Rhubarb muffins, caprese egg cups, ginger-limeade smash to drink - a serious feast for Sunday morning. Catching up on a million missed episodes of Glee, eating more spinach, planning for Memorial day & the week ahead.
Here’s to hoping that great weekend is the start to an even better week.

What do you like better- Christmas or Wedding Season? (Taken with instagram)
“We rarely hear about the little acts of love that exist between partners, where there are no plot twists or last-minute obstacles. There are few films, few books about a woman who packs a lunch for her husband every morning and cuts the crust off his sandwich, or the man who works an extra job at night for two years so his boyfriend can attend law school, or the couple who lies in bed at night and asks each other how their day was and really listens. Sure, that might be a component of the story, but it is sure to be drowned out by the conflict and the thrill that we want to see. And there is nothing wrong with that, we like excitement. But sometimes it’s hard not to miss the attention paid to the little, unglamorous acts of love that make up a true partnership.” —

I was in Des Moines for work today. So was Mitt Rommney. Probably similar levels of public interest surrounding our arrival. (Taken with instagram)
