Richmond Zombie Walk 2011

We had a lot of fun dressing up!

Blueberry Pickin'

It did not take long to fill up the buckets. We picked 15lbs of blueberries!

Thrifting

I like to decorate with books.  I got this lovely idea from my mother in law. It gives height to the surface you are decorating and also displays books better than on a book shelf. Today I found a mason type jar with a locking device and some unique books that were written between 1910-1930.  Some had handwritten messages to friends and one was actually from the author to a friend. Maybe this will get me on antique roadshow! One of the books had three four-leaf clovers tucked inside. I can't imagine how long they have been there. I was so shocked. I have never been fortunate enough to find one let alone three. I took it as a sign to buy it. Some people just get lucky. Well, I might have to buy mine. I tucked it on the shelf next to my bed. I am superstitious enough to hope that it will aid in warding off any bad luck that may come my way.

Pocky

I always wanted to try this Japanese treat, but when I am in a store that has international candy I always forget to buy some. While we were at World Market on Friday I picked some up. I can see why it is addicting. Chocolate covered butter sticks. Comes in a variety of flavors although I have only seen the chocolate and strawberry in stores.

Moped Rides

So lovely to hang onto your favorite person while scooting around in the night on a moped.
