Yinzer in the Shire

Okay, okay, so I lied about posting more in the month of May.  I really meant to, life just got in the way.  But now I am back with another Adventure and (bonus!) another recipe! the happy couple This weekend was a tornado of activity running straight through the state.  In Carrolltown, two co-workers were married by an officiant from the Church of the SubGenious in a crazy barn wedding.  There was camping in 30° weather and delicious BBQ ribs.   There were no barn animals, which might account for the ribs. Work Family Photo Since Carroltown is half-ish way to Philly it only made sense to continue the rest of the way.  On to OCP Live !  The Last Known God was a wonderful tour guide through the city, bringing a unique sense of disdain to local landmarks. The group started off at old city hall and took the underground train to the Italian Market .  After walking, walking, and still more walking lunch was purchased at Sarcone's Baker...

I know, I know, I only posted once for the entire month of April.  My excuse is a rather good one though, I was out doing field research so this month I would have even more stuff to write about! The circus, Unblurred, Art All Night, a Processing workshop, stilt walking, a comedy show, first aid training, expanding the garden, speaking at an awards show, these are all things I subjected myself to in the name of research for you my loyal reader!  See how dedicated to the craft I am! Somewhere in between all that, I also found time to update Timmy.  We are now at version 4 and the little bugger can properly turn in two different sizes of circles.  I am such a proud mama. Also completed in the past month was my second live website created for one Matt Hughes.  You can check it out at matthughesmusic.com .  Matt is a local musician who performs at renaissance festivals throughout the United States.  He is also currently working on two new album...
