Grace, Truth, and A German Sunset
by Krista | Oct 22, 2010 | Fabulous Friday
Good morning, luvs! I'm sitting cozy in my big, plaid armchair sipping cinnamon tea and nibbling on crisp, Cameo apple slices. It's a good way to start a new day. My eyes feel like dried up salty peas from all the crying I've done the last few days. It's been one of...
Happy Things and Mini-Turkey Sage Burgers
by Krista | Oct 21, 2010 | Plucky Thursday
So today I'm thinking about things that have made me happy in the last week. 🙂 Like driving home from visiting my folks and catching a glimpse of their neighbors garden. I had to stop right there in the middle of the road and take a picture. Isn't it a lovely tangle...
Cheesy Scones and Squashy Soups
by Krista | Oct 20, 2010 | Compatriot Wednesday
Right after work on Monday I zipped up my jacket and headed into the woods for a hike. Ohhh, it felt SO good to wend my way through the cedars, breathing deeply of the fresh cold air, feeling strength in my limbs after sitting at my computer all day. Loved it! Then I...
Germany: Mountain Wanderings, Part 1
by Krista | Oct 19, 2010 | Gulliver Tuesday
Today I was chatting with my brother Ryan as we hashed out plans for our family trip to Germany and Holland this Christmas. My smile got bigger and bigger as he cited things he's put on the schedule already: Christmas concert, Christmas markets, road trip through...
Southern Comfort Chocolate Pots de Creme
by Krista | Oct 18, 2010 | Bootstrap Monday
Mornin' dear ones! 🙂 How was your weekend? Were you relaxing your heart out or dashing about doing fun things? I did a bit of both and it was just what I needed. I was able to take that new trail in the woods when Mums and I went hiking at Berthusen Park. It was...
Sunsets, Treks, and Cinnamon Hot Chocolate
by Krista | Oct 15, 2010 | Fabulous Friday
Good morning, luvs! 🙂 My whole being is hooraying that it's Friday at last. It's been a doozy of a week with much work and recovery from illness, and I'm ready for some sleeping in and a few lazy hours reading whilst sipping my first hot chocolate of the season. If...
A Woodsy Ramble and Asparagus Feta Omelette
by Krista | Oct 14, 2010 | Plucky Thursday
Last week I was out running errands on a particularly grey and overcast day. I'd been at the office all morning and as I drove home for my lunch break I just had to pull into the park near my house and go for a stroll. It was beautifully quiet and still and I was the...
Cozy Soup Night
by Krista | Oct 13, 2010 | Compatriot Wednesday
It truly felt like Autumn Monday night as my friends and I came in out of the cold and bustled about the kitchen stirring pots of simmering soups. Don shared bottles of his beloved "Two Buck Chuck" wine from Trader Joe's, and it paired beautifully with Darren's spread...
TBU’11 and Breakfast in Cancun
by Krista | Oct 12, 2010 | Gulliver Tuesday
It's feeling particularly Fall-ish this evening with brooding skies and dried leaves skittering across the pavement. It's the sort of night that makes me long to bundle up in sweater, scarf and sassy boots and visit England. That's just what I plan to do March 26-27,...
