In honor of our 4th Wedding Anniversary (which took place at Lauxmont Farms in Wrightsville), I thought I’d post pics I took this past fall from the Heritage Highpoint Trail. I had originally posted about this overlook a few Springs ago. It’s high atop a hill in Wrightsville that overlooks the Susquehanna. This time I [...] > read more

Our 4th Wedding Anniversary

Published on 2012-05-24 06:33:00

Today is our 4th wedding anniversary. So far we have celebrated with the hubs singing “Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary!” to me. Which made me smile because no matter how how you get, it’s sort of a family tradition to call and sing to people on their birthdays and anniversaries. We also [...] > read more

Photo Friday: Wanna go for a walk?

Published on 2012-05-18 17:50:52

Anyone else enjoying this insanely nice weather? I know my dog is. I’ve been trying to get this “head cocked” shot for years. Turns out all I had to do was ask, “Wanna go for a walk?” And snap it before he starts running around like a crazy dog. I take the pup for daily [...] > read more

Photo Friday: Maple Donuts

Published on 2012-05-11 08:36:19

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Maple Donuts, as mentioned when I was devastated they left Central Market here and even asked for a birthday donut here. I think it might even be my favorite York staple. And the East York location is really neat. It’s like it’s stuck in the 50s, with [...] > read more

Low Key York Weekend

Published on 2012-05-09 18:16:47

This past weekend was pretty low-key for us. You know the kind – the once in a blue moon when you actually have nothing on the calendar, nowhere to travel to. Time to relax? Not for us- we actually did some major spring cleaning! You know, instead of saying you’re going to do it but [...] > read more

Photo Friday: Lititz Covered Bridge Tour

Published on 2012-05-04 14:10:31

York Central Market Busy Bee

Published on 2012-05-03 21:41:07

Photo Friday: Gifford Pinchot Park

Published on 2012-04-27 07:58:06

With the warm winter we’ve had, it’s allowed us to get outdoors more than usual, certainly a lot more than the year of the Snowpocalypse. The hubs and I have sort of made it our unofficial goal to visit every park within an hour radius of where we live. So when it was really warm [...] > read more

Photo Friday: Lancaster Horse and Buggy Ride

Published on 2012-04-20 06:51:45

Happy Friday! In an effort to post more regularly, I’ve decided to institute a new part of this blog: Photo Friday.

Happy St. Patrick’s/Drink Something Green Day!

Published on 2012-03-17 10:35:04

I always find it interesting what other people eat, or in this case drink. And since so many Americans celebrate their Irish heritage (or lack thereof) by consuming all things green and dying beer to fit that category too, I thought I’d share some of the green things I like to eat. Well, actually, things [...] > read more
