i am & so are you.

Always :)

61.

we celebrated my dad's 61st birthday
on october 15th.
61- if you know anything about the ny yankees 
you'll know how special the number 61 is.
here's to hoping my dad has as great of a year being 61
as roger maris did in 1961!
my mom got this amazing print showing all the places they've
traveled and lived together. in this pic dad was going through
each place and talking about the experiences.
it was a really perfect night....
all that was missing was our cara & ned.
*thanks to my fab cori for capturing all these kodak
moments for us!!
we also went out my parents & the zimmerman's a 
few days before & celebrated at the marietta fish market.
wow. that place is ridiculous! 
the food is delicious, but the place is so big & busy.
they sang happy birthday to my pa
and brought him a slice of cheesecake!

asheville.

my mom & i made a short & sweet quick
trip to asheville a few weeks ago.
we love the southern highlands arts & crafts
guilds fall show, so we made it happen! 
we went up on friday afternoon & had
tapas at zambra's & then hit the drum circle.
chocolate fetish is so dangerous & delicious!
i was so happy to see this woman!
this is sandra, my favorite fabric artist!
3 years ago jim & i went to this same show
and bought a large piece from her that hangs in
our office. it states:
 something wonderful is about to happen!
she is so cheerful & passionate about her work, truly
inspiring. mom bought a gorgeous sun printed table runner. 
on the way home we stopped by a farm
stand and loaded up on apples & corn & peppers.
i just thought these guys were gorgeous.
i surprised slim with these dark chocolate
covered oreos... holy moly!

just a little.

just a photo.

thanks to cori for sending this my way.
go ahead & share it, you never know...
you might touch a stranger!
