Firehouse Antiques in New Harmony

Where has time gone? It seems to have flown by, and I hardly know where to start. I guess I should begin with where I left off (which was quite awhile ago). For Mara's birthday, we went to New Harmony, which is a little town in southern Indiana, and spent the weekend there. We strolled through antique stores, drank coffee, watched kdrama late at night in our little cabin, and took walks in the state park. It was a lot of fun!

Fun in Chicago

Every year in December, we make a girl trip to Chicago. This trip involves shopping, laughing, good food, and (occasionally) round about ways of getting places. Here are some pictures from our recent trip (we got back this past Saturday night).

Half Price Books

Every other Wednesday, we have harp (Moxie) and piano lessons (Qixi and Moxie). While we are playing away on our instruments, Mom shops around.
She always ends up at Half Price Books.
And every time we get in the car, Mom says, "Guess what books I found?!"
We squeal, and then spend the ride home looking at the new books. Mom always visits the Nostalgic section, where she gets stuck looking at all the books, and eventually tears herself away an hour or two later and purchases a pile of books.
Being a book addict is fun, but it can get rather expensive. Some of the books Mom has found are;
Girl of the Limberlost
Les Miserables
Cranford
Lorna Doone
Samantha at Coney Island and a Thousand Other Islands
Cheaper by the Dozen
Bells on their Toes

If you haven't read any of these books yet, check them out! They're all great!

Goodbye

I'm afraid we'll be saying goodbye for a couple days. We are leaving tomorrow morning for a wedding. The agenda is as follows;

Thursday - travel 4 hours to St. Louis, visit the London Tea Room, head over to the Galleria Mall, and then another 2 hours to our sisters' house for a visit.

Friday - hanging out with people we haven't seen for several months

Saturday - The Wedding

Sunday - Church, then traveling home

Have a great weekend!
Qixi and Moxie
