i haven't forgotten you

Beautiful blooms.

Sorry I've been so quiet lately. Things have been hectic, in a good way. Well, I could use a little less of the work craziness, but otherwise good things. Yesterday was Trav's birthday and I did some cooking for him: steaks, roasted cauliflower, sauteed spinach, and lobster bisque (the last one store bought, that's a little much for me to attempt on a week night)! For dessert, pizzelles, his favorite.

My parents gifted him with a subscription to Foot Cardigan, which tickled me to no end. His love of socks is well documented, so this is a great gift for him. His first pair, zombie socks, was spot on. Fittingly, one of things I'd bought for him ages ago was a zombie shirt. His main gift was a new tent though. No more struggling with poles with no elastic!

My lilac bloomed finally, and its really perfect timing since we have friends coming over this weekend for a little grilling for Trav's birthday. It makes the backyard smell amazing!

Other then birthday things, I have some stuff in the works that I hope to share soon, but have some details to iron out first. In the meantime, I'll see what I can get around to posting next week. Might be patchy again with my trip to Boston, but I'll try to check in. Hope you enjoy your look weekend and have a great Memorial Day!
