How About Them Apples?

A few weekends ago, I was driving back from the grocery store when I drove past this farmer on the side of the road, selling apples. He has a 40-acre farm in La Follette, and sells apples in the Fall and peaches in the Summer. I bought a "peck" (a peck! I love it!) for $5. And WOW are they good apples. YUM.

Our big summer project for 2008 was to create a raised bed for a butterfly garden. Here are the pictures documenting this Herculean task!

Our Wedding

On September 7, 2007, Bradley and I got married at Knoxville City Hall. It was a small civil ceremony, with our son Patrick and in-laws Paula and John, with their son Chase, in attendance.

Our Boys

Yes, we have SIX lovely cats: Oscar, Quincy, Zander, Angel, Spike, and Indiana. We adore them, and they reward us with unconditional kitty love.

Gardening

I am passionate about my garden. Here are a multitude of shots so you get an idea of what's a-growin'!

Knitting

Also in love with the knitting. Here are some finished projects...

Last Months in L.A.

I have many wonderful friends and have done many wonderful things in Los Angeles since I've moved here. I am filling up my time now making as many memories as I can before Bradley and I move to Knoxville. I'm going to document these last few weeks with as many photos as I can take. Click on any of these images to get started...

Going Away Party

June 2, 2007 "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." Best = Seeing all my friends. Worst = Saying goodbye to all my friends.

The Big Cross-Country Move

Bradley, Patrick and I took off from Los Angeles on June 3rd, and headed east. This is our story. Our story... with FRED.

MO Trips, '07

From March 15th through March 20th this year, I was in Columbia, MO for Bradley's sister Megan's 22nd birthday, St. Patrick's Day, and her last dance performance before her graduation from Stephens College. Then, from May 4th through 6th, Bradley, Patrick and I, plus the rest of the family, as well as our great friend Peggy, were there to watch Megan graduate cum laude from Stephens!

CO Trip 12.06

Bradley invited me to spend Christmas with him and his family in Golden, Colorado this year. Here are the photos of this fabulous white Christmas!

FL Visit 01.06

I decided not to go home for Christmas (too expensive) so I went in January, in time for Pammie's birthday. I had a blast!

Walk For Hope

On October 8, 2006, a group of us walked (some of us knitted too!) in the 10th Annual City of Hope Walk for Hope to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research at City of Hope Cancer Center. Go Team!! A big thank you to all who supported us with donations and words of encouragement!
