  • I didn’t fall off the face of the earth…

    ….I’ve been in Pennsylvania.
    We are having such a nice time.

    We’ve been visiting cousins.
    Helping them move to a new house.
    a pretty house with a pretty pool and a pretty yard in a pretty, pretty neighborhood.

    We had the best breakfast. it included homemade bacon (as in they cured it and everything!)
    and a fabulous view. Hosted by the sweetest, most giving couple in the world.


     

    We got to visit with Rachel’s incredible family.
    She is the hostest with the mostest. welcoming us at the last minute for church and lunch.
    Her home is adorable. so many little details to look at. so warm. so cozy.
    {even her shed is darling!)

    And she is just lovely. Oh..and little Kate! So cute! =)

    my computer crashed for the 4th time this year. Guess what. Best Buy is giving me a new one.
    I’m happy about that. but for now….I can’t download all my photos.
    all my hundreds of photos I’ve taken this past week. I have a few to share.

    I’m posting from my hubby’s mac, he’s sharing with me tonight.

    We visited Valley Forge. What a great place to see.
    Absolutely beautiful. so much history.

    I love the stone at George Washington’s headquarters.
    This could definitely be my new house. especially with the window views.

    Tomorrow we’re off to the shore for a couple of days.
    So excited to smell the ocean…it’s been a while for this Midwest girl.

     

    Happy Thursday.
