I love B&B’s too!
My hand made aprons are cute if not a bit crooked.
Happy ICLW!
I cry a lot too…last night we went to the movies and saw The Blind Side (sooo good) and I cried like 10 times. It was a feel good movie.
I loved reading that! You are such a neat gal! Happy ICLW.
I’m with you all the way on the laundry. And the farmhouse. I’d love to live in one!
I smiled all the way through this! Ditto on the laundry and the trip to Ireland….cept, we need to detour to Disney World on the way there first! 🙂
🙂 Hugs!
omg. Are we related? Thank you for your visit to my blog for ICLW (happy ICLW btw). I wanted to be Anne of Green Gables- although I was more of a Trixie Belden kinda girl b/c she had freckles(me too).
Ooooh I love that you got married at a winery. E and I intend to open one at his grandparents farm in the coming years.
Stopping by for an ICLW visit…
No. 2: the unfair struggle (mfi, speedskating, nanowrimo)
This is so interesting! Some of the things on FB that you can become fans of cracks me up, too! My favorite is “Not being on fire.” lol
Also, if you like old houses, you’d LOVE mine! Mine’s an OLD OLD OLD farmhouse. We’re talking 1800’s old! We’re talking “my bathroom used to be a pantry because there was no indoor plumbing” old! haha
It’s so great to “meet” you again.
Happy ICLW!
I have been bugging the husband to plan an Ireland trip… full of B&B’s 🙂
Happy to have come across your blog thru ICLW!
I love to drive too. Sadly, my dream car just isn’t that family friendly. (’64 1/2 Mustang ragtop).
I loved the Nancy Drew books.
What a cute idea for ICLW. Consider it officially stolen 🙂
I need to work on #21!
