mt horeb

in addition to mustard (which is moving to middleton [local controversy]) mt horeb also has trolls and isaacs.

MUSTARD

we went to the mustard museum. it was fun and free, until we hit the gift shop

plan

I think this is where the og peeps got the plan for our house. This is just about what it looks like (no bay on the left in ours and the porch is different now) in case you were curious.

polyacrylic

polyacrylic totally replaces spray urethane in my life. shiny and the rust on this new SVdP trunk won't get on my fancy blankets.

excuse

I was out of town...another capitol on the horizon.

Ben's (winter) bike

featured on right. perhaps you've heard of the diamond back brand?

savers sale

extra savings?! FU Pay Me.

first house guests

we are officially moved in. we had overnight guests from chicago (konrad and ioana). we went to brunch. they served bloody mary's with a beer back, because your bloody mary needs a morning chaser. then we went for a hike.

continuing chair saga

should I cover these and make them less half assed? if so, which fabric? (I hear it is popular to have quizzes on blogs! also too, I can't figure out how to rotate that detail.)

bbq no brats

my office

yesterday I tried to work. I think I like this old door I found in the basement on some file cabinets from SVP. think I need to sage smudge em?

BOOM

late night at the grocery store

woodman's with ben. click on the right picture to see the whole freezer aisle of frozen pizza. really, pizza frozen as far as the eye can see. the midwest is big.
