Das Gemüse

Just got back from the Farmer's Market. There's something so satisfying, domestic, fulfilling and tasty about having a full fruit basket in your kitchen.


The title of the post is an inside joke with my sister Liz, even though she may not even remember it. If you think back to "Called to Serve" video, it shows an MTC teacher drilling vocab and saying this over and over again. It translates to vegetables. At the time I didn't know how to say 'I Love You' in Polish, so we used this phrase. As she pulled away from saying goodbye to me from my mission in 2003, we kept yelling "Das Gemüse" at each other. We wrote it on our letters. Silly memory, but I like it.

You Remind Me of the Babe...

All thanks to Awkward Family Photos, I found this picture. My brother Dave and I LOVED the movie Labyrinth and this picture makes me smile. When we were about 12 and 14, we pooled our money and special ordered the soundtrack for $17.99 from Sam Goody, that was a big deal and a lot of money back then.

I hope the picture makes sense to you, and makes you smile too.

First Home Football Game

This past weekend was the home opener, and we had a great time! I love being around a ton of people screaming for a fun reason. This was one of Peter's first College Football games, he thought it was way over the top. I thought it was fantastic.
Take note - I am wearing blue, which is a common denominator with this school and my favorite school, but I am never giving up my Cougars. I called it ambiguous Blue.

The sunset was beautiful!

The Marching Band spelled out U of A. I thought that was way cool!
Take note - it was 9:45pm and still that hot!

It was a good time!
