Roots and Ramblings

Not too long ago, I went to a really cool place here in Louisville with my friend Kelly.  Not Kelly Ripa, my REAL LIFE friend Kelly.  I haven’t completely lost my mind and started having dillusions…yet!

Here is a pic of us from last night.  We met at Panera to work on our school stuff. 

Isn’t she a doll???  Sorry boys, she’s taken!

Like me, Kelly is a foodie.  She knew of this really cool local place close to campus called The Root Cellar.  

Roots is like a little self contained daily farmer’s market!   The sell all local items from produce, milk, eggs, and even local meat!

The owner was nice, and he let me take all kinds of pictures.  

I love supporting our local businesses and farmers!  I had just gone to the grocery so I had a lot of veggies, but I did make it out with several peaches and 2 doughnut peaches!!

 

Doughnut peaches are my favorite!  I had my first one in London last year, and I’ve been hooked since.

Speaking of veggies, Luvy and I went out and picked our garden last week, and I think we got the end of everything.

It has been so hot here, and we have had no rain that al of our plants are wilting and dying.  :(  I was really looking forward to all that butternut squash….

One other rambling before I call it a day… I JUST NOW figured out how to edit my pictures in iphoto!  Only 1.5 years too late, but hey… better late than never right???  

Technology and I are not friends.

Have you ever had a doughnut peach?

What random ramblings do you have for me today??…. and go!

Happy Marvelous in My Monday!!

If you aren’t familiar with MIMM, head over to sweet Katie’s blog for all the details!  

I hope you all had a marvelous weekend!  We sure did.  I was so sad to see my dad leave yesterday.

Since our family lives in East Tennessee, we don’t get to see them as much as we would like.  That is why we love when we get visitors so much!!  I enjoyed having family around so much that I didn’t even think about taking many pictures.  Whoops.

Friday was marvelous, because my dad and I relax that morning and then ran errands until around lunchtime.  Luvy joined us for lunch, then dad and I relaxed that afternoon.  I had plans for us to go to Huber’s in Indiana to pick peaches, but it was too hot!

The heat kept us in most of the weekend!

Saturday, we went to our friends’ farm for their farmer’s market.

Daddy had fun talking with them about farming and all kinds of things.  

Even though it was sweltering hot, it was a beautiful day!

What was not so marvelous was Sunday came WAY too fast!  Daddy had to go home right after church, and I had to get ready for a full week at work.

Sunday’s are still marvelous, because I get to spend it with these girls for our bookclub.

I love my college/ young adult girls!  

We also had some MARVELOUS eats this weekend, but I’ll tell you about those later!

Hope you have a marvelous Monday!

What is marvelous today?

What did you do this weekend?

Happy Monday!

Time for another installment of Marvelous In My Monday with my sweet friend Katie!  :)

 

Instead of rambling for you guys, I’m going to tell you through the letters of my name.  I also got this idea from Katie.  She has all the good ideas…right??

B- Book club.  We had a great book club last night.  I am going to start recapping the book for you guys this week!  So, if you want to buy The List by Marian Jordan do it by this weekend!  :)  You won’t be sorry you did.

R- Random. Luvy and I decided to be spontaneous this weekend and on Saturday, we went to the Farmer’s Market.  That night, we took a nice drive around on backroads.  I love doing that!  It takes me back to my roots.  :)

I- Ice cream.  I have eaten way too much of these guys, but it is oh so good!

T- Time.  I need more of it.  The good news is that I get off for the week at noon Tuesday!   Thank you 4th of July!!

T- Tea.  Iced mint tea.  Perfect for these hot days!

A- Apples.  They have been what I’m craving this weekend.  They are full of water and delicious!

N- Naps.  I never take them, and yesterday I took an hour nap.  Just what I needed!

Y- Yoga.  I am LOVING yoga to stretch out my body.  It makes me feel so much better afterward!

These are all things that are marvelous to me.  

What is marvelous to you using your initials?

What are you looking forward to this week?
