A Half Missing Sunday

Unfortunately the photos on Scott's camera were accidentally erased so were left with the few photos I took this day.

I take the blame for this half post. I handed Emma my memory card the day of our wedding, not thinking to tell her she shouldn't format the memory card. We've also been having computer issues/got married/been busy so we're behind...again. 

 Scott had to work at 7 am this morning and was long gone by the time I woke up. Peanut has his usual spots that he sleeps. Today I couldn't find him and thought maybe he had gotten outside when Scott left for work. Then I discovered him hanging out on the shelf. 

His favorite hobby in the winter is hanging out in the bathtub waiting for someone to turn the water on so he can lick it.

He has some kind of sixth sense that tells him we're going to be in the bathroom. Of course we do oblige him by turning the faucet on for him for a few seconds.

For breakfast I believe am pretty certain I had oatmeal. I then headed to the farmers market to pick up a few items. I got to take the new bike lanes on Emerson Avenue.

These bike lanes have been coming soon for at least the past year. The major north-south bike routes were the river/North 2nd St or Theodore Wirth/Victory Parkways, which are on the opposite sides of North Minneapolis.  It's a treat to have a centrally located north/south route and not feel like  you're going get knocked off the road.

I'm still in awe at how much produce you can still get this time of year. I ended up getting potatoes, garlic, onions, broccoli, and lettuce.

This is the last of our tomatoes this year. Next year I will try to start the seeds earlier so I end up with more throughout the summer and, hopefully, try at canning. 

Unusually warm weather has allowed my jalapenos to grow. 

Scott had taken down the little fence surrounding the garden and something or someone ate all our carrots.

Who knew that the fence actually kept animals out? Peanut always seems to traipse right in.

I don't remember what I had for lunch. Then I did some cleaning until Scott came home around 3. 

We stopped by CVS to pick up photos we wanted printed for the wedding. Apparently this is the only store that doesn't do photo printing.

Actually there machine is just down, but it was not convenient for us.

We then spent most of the afternoon preparing dinner. We had roasted butternut squash ravioli with a brown butter sauce. We also enjoyed a bottle of wine and long conversations.

That's what I call love.

Next post: Our Wedding!

Marina Turns 12, the Whole Farber Clan Visits

  Marina wanted to come to Minneapolis for her birthday again. This weekend was all about her. One of Marina's requests was to go to the fabric store. We need some new napkins so I thought I would look for fabric too. We hit up our favorite fabric warehouse, SR Harris. SR Harris didn't have anything we wanted so we checked out one of the going-out-of-business Joann Fabrics. They had a 2 yard minimum, guess I'll be making lots of napkins.    While the ladies went and had fun, I took apart the boards to the ice rink. Another year of backyard ice skating in the books. Marina had some birthday money to spend on items for her bedroom. Ikea it is. My kids love Ikea. This kids couch is cute. Leave it to Meadow to find the cat items. 

RV Spring Break: Minneapolis to South Carolina

Another Spring Break can only mean one thing these days: Campervan Spring Break. Well scratch the campervan this time around. Get in the RV we're driving to Florida.   You know we love our road trips. Last summer, a few months after our first Campervan Spring Break , Theo said he wanted to go on another campervan trip. I asked where and he said to Florida. Never thought we'd be a spring break in Florida family, but here we are. But first we had to get to Elkhart, Indiana to pick up our RV. Instead of driving or flying we took the Amtrak Borealis service down to Chicago for the first leg of our journey.   We were a little nervous that our train would be cancelled. Just three days earlier all the Borealis trains were found to have corrosion. They had moved routes via the bus. Thankfully they had replacement trains by the time of our departure.  As you can tell Meadow is super excited to be cooped up in an RV with us for a week or so.   There's no assigned seats so you ...

Work Trip to LA

Well, I'm traveling quite a bit for one of my clients. So I might as well share those adventures. First stop was the Los Angeles metro for a shoot at Compton College. This was my first time visiting Los Angeles and SoCal. So why not go on some aimless walks.   7th grade Brooke is so jealous.  I, on the other hand, have never had a desire to visit LAX. Wasn't really sure where to stay, but ended up settling on Mayumi  in Culver City. Near the airport, not too far from Compton and close to Venice Beach. They even had free bike rentals that unfortunately didn't work with my schedule.  Why do California and Florida mid-century cities and neighborhoods give me the same vibes? After settling in I drove out to the Venice neighborhood because I didn't do any research. I passed by BBQ + Rice driving down Venice Boulevard and it just looked like it fit the bill. Their bulgogi hit the spot. Sure it's a "chain," but you can't find it outside of LA and an odd loca...
