Strawberry Pickin'

There's nothing like freshly picked strawberries.



Except maybe fresh strawberries with cream for breakfast, and fresh strawberry ice cream.

I love the new farm we found. They have different things to pick all summer long. For those with children, they also have a small petting farm, and welcome children. You can check them out here.

Ikea

I've posted zilch lately. I've been working too hard, and too many hours. We had one girl quit, and then another had to leave for a week on a family emergency. Which left 2 and 2 trainees who can't work alone yet. Yuck!

So, here's my filler pictures:



Ikea has been one of my favorite places to shop for the house. From the bed frame, to our bookcases, I find Ikea to have the best value. The pieces are study, and easy to build. In fact, in the first picture is a dresser (we have 2), bedside table (again 2), and bed all from Ikea. The absolute best reason to shop at Ikea? I have no designing sense at all, and Ikea makes it easy to match my furniture together.

One of those Days

First, every 15 min travel time became 30 minutes today. Where did the traffic come from?
Make bread was on my list for today. But it was raining. I don't know about you, but I find my bread doesn't rise quite as nicely when it rains. So I will do that Friday. And change my dinner plan from tuna melts to tostada casserole.
Next on my list was vacuuming. Well, my vacuum is acting funny. It is insisting on hiding the dirt somewhere I can't find it. This wouldn't be a problem, but it's throwing the suction off. Silly vacuum. So Nick said he'd look at it while I finish work.
Then, I took the time to make dinner, pack it nicely to bring to work with me. It's sitting at home on the kitchen counter right next to the vacuum cleaner.

At least work has been okay. Only one upset guest.

One of my favorite features

It's a Quirky thing, but I love this:



Why? Because that is my bathroom light switch on the INSIDE of the bathroom! It's not a common thing in Massachusetts. This is actually the only house we saw with the light on the inside.

House Pictures

My craft room. I love having all my books out of boxes. I love having a long desk to work on, and having my paper organized is great!
