tomorrow night, we will be landing down on the lovely island of Grenada, staying a LaSource.

re-lax-ation is calling our names!

colorless, odorless, tasteless and mostly inert diatomic gas overload

Or Nitrogen overload. I just learned my apparently steroid-infused garden is simply hyped up on nitrogen. i.e. big plants, small veggies. boo. better luck next year!

To Change the World, It Starts with One Step...

One of my favs lines from a DMB song!

A group from our office once again enjoyed a day off work to lay by the pool and go to Dave Matthews Band.

The day was beautiful, but the night turned scary with awful storms. The show as postponed for over an hour, and then we missed out on half. Oh well, better luck next time (though apparently we have to wait until 2012!)

I Think I'll Go To Boston...

...I hope you are singing Augustana in your head right now :)

After two days of LLS training in NY, I was able to extend my trip a bit and go up to Boston for the weekend.

I barely took any pics- oops! We did, however, enjoy the Franklin Park Zoo on my last day. The zoo does not compare to Indy, but to a 5 and 4 year-old, its still tons of fun!

Seriously - this lion was sleeping just like this. ha!

when the wife is away...

the husband will work tirelessly on the landscaping!

from shrubs in pots and a pile of soil/compost:

to a freshly tilled, built-up bed with the old crappy builders shrubs removed (bye-bye!) and new ones put in!

and the other bed built up to combat the sloping yard!

In early May I was in Fort Wayne for work and came home to my beautiful garden being put in! Going away is starting to have its perks :)

MIA

missing in ACTION is right, for sure!
