On Friday at Aunt Paula’s, I found Leander and Bobby (a cousin) playing a fun game.

Brendan and I had a wonderful fourth of July weekend in New Jersey visiting his mom’s family. On Thursday, we spent the day at Grandpa and Grandma Weiler’s house in Sweetwater.

Sunday night we had a short, but strong storm. We lost our power for a spell, and stood on the front stoop watching the rain, wind in the trees, and lightning bolt across the sky.

I haven’t found the perfect backing for Jeanette’s quilt. In the meantime, I’ve been playing around in the “sewing room” (i.e. our office). I made this little block.

I was pretty productive this week with Jeanette’s Little Red Riding Hood quilt. Woohoo!
Once I had all of the squares cut, I sewed them into strips of three.

Earlier this week, I went to the park in Maryville with my good friend, Lelia, to feed the ducks. As I walked along the trail to meet up with her, I saw this:

Summer must be the time for drives… My last post was about my Saturday “afternoon” drive to Hot Springs, NC and running across a Civil War reenactment. That drive was a fairly lengthy 5 hours, but this past Sunday, we took a drive that blew that one away

Here are some old photos of us on a drive in October of 2007. I believe it is Cherohala Skyway.

Brendan and I used to play Scrabble all the time when we were dating. We don’t play it as often now, but when we do, we can still get pretty competitive.

I actually beat Brendan this time. Most of the impressive words are Brendan’s, but I placed that X down for some major points and later added the F.

Weekend Drive

The weekend of 6/5, Tiff had gone to Ohio to visit the family for Andrew’s graduation. I spent a restless Thursday and Friday nights at home, as I didn’t have my wife with me and for whatever reason all of my normal activities (video games, programming, etc) just didn’t seem appealing.
So Saturday I decided to go for a drive. I ran from the apartment through a back-way into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park into the south end of Gatlinburg. It’s a great way to get to Gatlinburg, actually, as you can avoid all of the inevitably horrid Pigeon Forge and “spur” traffic. From there I took 321 out towards Cosby, then shot north to Newport via some back-roads, including a small section of Foothills Parkway.
Newport, TN is an interesting little town that I have never driven though before. Definitely worth more exploration someday. From there I decided that I wanted to go further east with a vague plan to loop south through North Carolina and hook back up with I-40 for a quick ride home. Well, somewhere along the way, i ran into the “end” of a road and was out of range of Verizon’s 3G so I couldn’t get anymore maps…..soooo I back-tracked and kept heading east.
