Should It Stay or Should It Go?
What do you think? Should our big bookshelf stay or be stored? We really like the piece of furniture, but it feels a bit overwhelming in our main room. In theory, there should be enough room for the piece, but because the wall sticks out a few inches we cannot put the shelf completely in the corner. So it can’t be centered in front of the table and we can’t move the table to be centered on the shelf because it sticks out too far. Also, we cannot put an end table or anything on the side of our couch because of the shelf. On the other hand, it is really, really hard to take apart and even harder to put back together in addition to being really handy with the holding of books. So should we keep it up or should we store it for future use? Your vote counts!

Phone Journey
I finally synced my phone with our computer. I have been storing funny, interesting, sentimental pictures for the year we have had these phones. Please join with me on my phone’s picture journey.

Some really nice people helped us pack up and leave Minnesota.

Yale on a beautiful day.

I love walking around downtown.

This is the biggest dragonfly I have ever seen. It landed on Tim’s sweater and I wouldn’t let him shoo it away until I snapped a picture.

Project Runway Fans?!

This one is for my dad. We saw cars in these “parking spots” all over downtown NYC. Amazing.

Our Prius hits 1000 miles. Sadly, with my long commute we are now up to 9000.

I have never seen such a patriotic vehicle from head to toe. Please take note of the prom pictures of the parents on the back end of the van and the kids pictures on the side doors. I thought I had it bad when my color blind dad wanted to paint a vehicle a green he could recognize - which meant it was a bright Kelly Green. I used to make him park a block away from school so no one would see me in such a horrible vehicle. I can’t imagine the emotional damage being experienced by the children whose faces are pasted on the side of this Chevy Astro.

New Haven has turned into the city of Bedford for the shooting of the next Indiana Jones. Store fronts have been transformed into 1950’s garb. It’s great.
Thanks for coming along.
