This week actually turns out decent in review - guess that's what happens when I actually take people up on invites to get out and do something social. It took work tho, to drag myself up to Virginia. But it was good to see ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
evilpirate007 and his '03 crew.

I now declare May 11th Leffe Day.
After months of moping about things lost in the move, it turns out I was just lazy/unorganized...no big surprise there.
Found a box with both our 'best' dishes AND my prized Leffe glass from the Windsor Castle Pub (thanksjupiterjuniper for
prompting that nab). We had written the name of the brew down wrong and for over a
year we had searched in vain. After finding the glass and doing some quick online
work...coffeefortwo ran out and purchases two six packs before closing as a
reward for my kitchen-painting. AND it is fantastic!

KITCHEN is PAINTED.
And our groovy reclaimed ss shelf unit was pulled in from the garage.
The house is beginning to feel more like our own. Inspired me to spend
crazy on sat. to get the downstairs bathroom underway. Tiling is in my future.

This might be my favorite Lake Adgers pic to date. I'm going to miss these long,
sunny, glorious work days in the boat. Good thing this study goes thru till October.
5.14.08
Shhhhh...Nola's crazy xmas quilt is half-way done.
5.15.08
I'm sure you've all seen my post from this last Thursday, but this was my favorite
little play-pic. I can't say enough how much I loved getting into the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park...I just picked up a map to inspire more treks.

On the dog front, i think Nola gets a little more air time than Radley. So in fairness,
I tried to get a sweet picture of him on Friday night. The thing is, the reason why he
is underrepresented is because he takes pretty bad photos. He hates the camera.
5.17.08
So Saturday afternoon I hoped in my car and drove to Virginia for a Spectacular Spectacular
known as Trail Days. I was going up for the twofold purpose of visiting withevilpirate007/Foz
and to get in my main training hike. The following picture was of the Contra Dance
(which I can start doing at WWC! Turns out it is just Barn Dancing, which i grew up with).
Afterwards, we headed over to the camp for a little Firebreathing, some very tasty Mint Julep (from a
shared Nalgene bottle - good thing the alcohol content was high), and some storytelling. I called it short, as
I was hiking in the a.m. - but was walked back to my car/bed by, if I remember
correctly, Mellow-Yellow who happens to work for my favorite retailer...REI -
he might be moving up here when REI attempts an Asheville store in October.
Thanks go out to my yard-hosts Trace and One-Third for letting me park on their lawn. To Foz for inspiring the visit.
And to all the through-hikers for giving me a glimpse.
