Hello!!
Umm so much has happened the passed few weeks! Anyway, I was able to go down to the beach for a few days with Sheda and Katie and her family! It was SO beautiful down there ... we went to the beach and the sky was clear as day and oh god, the smell of the OCEAN :-D We visited many antique stores down there, and there were rooms full of vintage cameras and binders of war photos and posters from way back when, rusty bottles full of keys and tarnished rings, piles of old lace and patterns, records, aging broadway piano scores, diaries and photobooks, thick leatherbound books ... there was a lot of stuff.
We stayed at katie's aunt's beach house. it was a cute little vintage house!! Katie's mom made blueberry pancakes the first morning we were there, and they were divine!! The night her parents left, we played cards, watched Big Fish, played a nonalcoholic drinking game, and took pictures. The next morning Katie's mom left us a box of big billowy apple doughnut fritters for breakfast. I really loved it down there :')
Let's see what else ... oh, I went to a bbq recently, one held by my sister-in-law's uncle at his place. His house is perched on the top of a grassy slope that curves down into miles of grassy fields, ending with tiny lines of trees. I stood in the center of the view and looked up and saw the huge sky above me, with thick rolls of gray rain clouds. I felt very small. I live for these kinds of moments though :') It kind of added fuel to the fire ... I want to travel all over, but recently I've been thinking of the farmlands of France, where people there grow their vegetables and milk their own cows because the market is so far away. I also want to go to Colorado too! And Vegas :-D And of course, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Hong Kong again :-)
I went to Katie's house today!! Sheda, her, Chris, and I baked brownies together. :-) I miss them so much!

behind my yard ... my mom was ranting how they keep eating the pears
i made cream puffs for the first time yesterday!! it was VERY interesting ... i burned the custard half-way through and didn't notice ... I was afraid it ruined the entire custard ..
but it tasted really nice!! toasty with hints of caramel.
I'm going to Delaware for five days next week! I'm joining my sister at her boyfriend's house. We're going to ... BAKE!!! and shop. and go to the beach. and have wicked fun :-D
