Summer.

I have been off all summer too busy to post! I guess that is a good indicator that it was a good summer. Hopefully we still have a few more weeks.

I have been busy slaughtering fish.

I have been busy going on many summertime dates!

I have been busy celebrate this boy's birthday.

I have been busy looking awesome at the Evergreen State Fair.

I have been busy learning how to golf.

I have been enjoying the sun with friends!

I have been busy going to 5 million summer concerts.

I have been busy snuggling at Bocce.

Hope you had a good summer too!

Mail!

One of the best things in life is opening up your mailbox and seeing an unexpected surprise.

Typically my mailbox is filled with coupons and junk mail but not today.

An actual letter from a faraway friend. I couldn't be happier. So much better than a online message. I even received a little tin of goodies along with the letter.

Growing up we use to draw houses just like this as a plan for our future lives. 

I love that she found this card.

I love my goodies and unexpected surprises.

I think I will start sending fun things to all my faraway friends.

Such an fun way to stay connected.

Do you still use snail mail? What is the best unexpected thing that you received in the mail?

Anacortes.

On saturday I went to Anacortes with a lovely group of girls.

Each of these wonderful girls has a blog that you should check out!

We spent the day walking around and hitting up antique stores.

It was a delightfully rainy day.

For lunch we went here:

My finds for the day were:

I have big girly plans for the mason jars which I am sure I will blog about soon.

The strawberry jam jar was too cute to resist.

The table cloth will hopefully push me to go on more picnics this summer,

and the milk jar is just for random odds and ends.

Of course Nelson became jealous when I wasn't taking a photo of him that I had to let him in.
