Every summer, Gary and I try to take a week to go up to his parents’ house in Dorset, Vermont. Gary tends to pick a big handyman project to work on up there, and I manage to work-from-home while still totally decompressing. The environment… the sleeping in, the refreshing Northshire Bookstore, and the entire way...
We bailed on Cape Cod when the weather forecast stayed sour for 4th of July weekend. But it turns out that the sun shined bright on the Cape all weekend, and we moved underneath a lonely Vermont rain cloud.
In anticipation of what would surely be a great hike with friends… this was us trying to...
We headed north to Vermont this past weekend, both to visit our friends Rich & Sarah in Waitsfield and so the boys could attend their franternity’s annual Pig Dinner event. Mike & Peg came from Connecticut to join us as well.
The girls – myself, Sarah and Hannah – went off for about an 18- mile...
Just got in from a long weekend with friends in Waitsfield, Vermont! It had been an extremely long time since we visited Rich & Sarah, and pup Toro, and It. Was. Good. To. Be. Back.
Sarah tore her ACL a couple of weeks ago, so we added lots of cozy dinners and hot tubbing to the...
I started blogging in June 2006. Actually, it all begain with our wedding website a year prior. We had a place where guests could go to hear what we were up to and find details about the big day. After the wedding, the site remained and collected photos from the wedding and new home. Eventually,...
It’s a good sign that my posting has drifted off, right? I’m busy and loving my new job, and I’m active living life on the weekends! There has been a lot to catch up on…
We spent a gorgeous weekend in Dorset, Vermont with the Hedmans, including some sidewalk sale shopping, a hike and a hilly...

…and Ladies & Gentlemen, in this corner (under the shed), wearing the black & white stripes, weighing in at...
What an incredible weekend away with girlfriends this weekend. For reasons that are both happy and sad, and that bring a lot of change and transition into one’s life, Kim, Kim, Kelly, Tracy, Amy, Michelle and I descended upon Stowe, Vermont’s Stoweflake Mountain Resort & Spa this past Friday.
This was the first real spa experience...
Our friends Rich & Sarah are going through some tough times over the last week, with both Sarah’s father and their first-born dog in the hospital. Maybe it’s too much McDreamy/McSteamy, but I feel like you kind of assume humans can overcome everything. While we mean to check in on dad DT as well, this...
Another yurt-terrific adventure weekend! Thanks to all who organized the event and provided scrumptious food and entertainment!
Bromley didn’t make it… he had a tough time in last year’s snow with his arthritic hip, so we had to make the responsible decision of leaving him home (and by home I mean with my parents, not alone...
