You may remember back in summer we spent a very humid weekend Upstate to celebrate our niece Rebecca’s graduation. For her graduation present we decided to give her a weekend in the city. Rebecca loves cooking and when we did our Le Pain Quotdien baking class earlier in the year we knew we wanted to…

9/11 Memorial
After work today we headed across the road for our first visit to the 9/11 Memorial. When reservations first opened I thought that choosing today would mean that crowds may have shrunk a bit. No such luck. It took about 30 minutes to get into the Memorial. There isn’t much to say other than that…
Dave Matthews Band Caravan
The DMB Caravan was supposed to be over the weekend of Hurricane Irene. Emily and I had three day passes where we would be in Dave Heaven for 3 days straight but unfortunately, weather got in our way. We saw the Friday night show and then the Saturday and Sunday were postponed. Oh and before…
Torrisi
I just got home from dinner at Torrisi – a catch up night with Deb, Katie, James and Anna. That link is to their dining policy. Yes, a policy. I kid you not. We got an 8pm sitting. It was awesome. It was strange though that I hopped onto my Tumblr dashboard when I got…
Labor Day Weekend
A few weeks ago we celebrated the unofficial end of Summer with a trip Upstate for Labor Day weekend. It was going to be a relaxing few days. A family dinner back at the Carolina House (where we had our wedding party) and a trip to the Columbia Country Fair. I am a sucker for…
Queen of All Saints Cocktail Party
Yesterday we basically slept all day.. but with good reason! We desperately needed to catch up on the days of sleep that were severely in deficit and also last night we had the Queen of All Saints Cocktail Party. This was to help kick off the hundred year celebrations of our gorgeous church. I have…
Back!
We got back from our trip from Australia on Tuesday and I have so much to blog about! It has been a crazy few weeks, that is for sure. We packed so much in, it was a wonderful break and apart from the horrid flights home, we came back rested and feeling great. So bear…
No news is…
Anyone who knows me knows how much of a news junkie I am. I basically follow news 24/7 – US, Australia, UK, radio, TV, internet – it doesn’t stop. I found this love of mine was an absolute detriment when I moved here in 2008, even though I was in the land of 24/7 news….
Juicy!
Since I moved here my only juice of choice has been a carton of Tropicana Orange Juice. BB (before Bill) it would be Lots of Pulp. AB (after Bill) it is now Some Pulp. I think that even Some Pulp is too much for him! If you love orange juice you would the Tropicana choice…
I feel the earth move (twice)
So another frightening thing happened last week and that was the earthquake that shook the east coast. It was one of the worst feelings ever. I do not want to experience it again even though this wasn’t my first experience of an earthquake… read this from 2005. Bill had meetings in the afternoon so I…
