New friend

I just met @elissaurbanbean IRL.  She's delightful and we both love to sew.  And we were two feet from a very blatant drug deal in the Boston Common.  #lunchinthecity #bostonfriendsarethebestfriends

Angel Food Cake

If you've never baked an Angel Food Cake from scratch, grab a dozen eggs and do it!  The recipe is so easy (google it -- all the recipes are basically the same).  This is for strawberry shortcake tomorrow night.  #notpartofmyprogram #whosaidiwashavingany Hint: I separate the eggs in my hands and you will need cake flour.  #bakesomeonehappy #ilovetobake #cakeonthefloor

This is where I draw the line

But I've actually heard they aren't so bad.  #lobsterrollsnob #imainelygetmylobsterrollsinmaine

Duet

Two 9 year old boys in my ward played a piano-cello duet of "I Am A Child of God" in Sacrament Meeting today.  And it was fantastic.  #isaacethecellist

The Ings are in town!

Arlington Ward farewells

These farewells at Kimballs are bittersweet.  Godspeed to Utah, you Palmers.  And 4 spoons?  I think they were decoys.  #icecreamgoodbyes #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever #eventhosewhogotbumpedtoanotherwardandstake

Kimballs tonight

Strawberry Kiwi sorbet is less calories than Heath Bar Crunch, right?  And I got a kiddie size.  #myprogram #dessertbeforedinner

It's no joke

People joke that Boston has two seasons: winter and construction.  #itisnojoke #roadclosed #constructioneverywhere

My program

Three (not four) chicken strips, no fries, and a small diet frosted lemonade.  #myprogram #nowondericantdropapound #chickfila

Lovely (Winston Flowers)

And the portrait feature on my phone camera is my favorite.  #sevenplus #windstonflowers

Do you know what fire does to polyester?!?

Father's Day

Me and my dad.  On our porch in Van Nuys.  Might have been my baptism day.  #anoldiebutagoodie #orinotherwordsaregram #fathersday

I made another dress

Still perfecting the sizing.  And polyester on a really warm day can be sticky.  #ilovetosew #polyesterisforgiving

For Sale by owner

My friend Elisabeth is selling her house which is bittersweet.  They've done a lot of work on the house; they're fixer uppers for sure.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever

Why am I sewing myself a dress at 1:00am?!?
