Glacial Grooves - Kelley's Island

Gina for scale

Gina and I almost got thrown off of the golf cart a couple times - had to buckle up!

Kelley's island was absolutely beautiful!

MIGHT be about time to leave the nest

My New Pony

This may be a bit more detail that you'd care to have but I posted these to show Adam. So as you can see, I took the plunge today and bought a bike! Perhaps a bit more bike than I need (or can handle) right now, but I'm optimistic that I'll grow into it :) I can't wait for Adam to come back and get his so I'll have someone to scrape me up off the trail!

Spring Flowers

Ok Harrington clan, what kind of flowers are these in the picture above? I'm a bit botanically challenged.

It's Been a While!

Soo...it's been awhile. In all honesty, not a whole lot new has been happenin'. I kind of feel like I'm living in the movie Groundhog Day. I get up, go teach, come home, read for my grad classes, maybe go to class, maybe write a paper or response for a class, and repeat. However, since I've posted last I did make it back to Ohio for Christmas and I got a long overdue visit from my old college roommate and friend Kim! The pics below are from a visit with grandma Frank over Christmas, a trip to the Kelso Dunes with Kim, and a Zappos company party that I went to with my friend Christi, who's cousin is an awesome high end party planner out here and planned the shindig. It was a 1920's party and awesomely done! Professional swing dancers, places where you could get your hair and make-up done, free drinks, free props. Of the about 1000 people there, I think I only saw about 10 that hadn't dressed up. Well, I have decided to give myself the day off from my groundhog life and am going to go hiking in the snow with Adam. Till next time....

Happy Thanksgiving!

Makeshift table for 11 in the living room

Yesterday was COLD. The temp was 29 degrees when everyone arrived at 6pm.

This year we held the refugee Thanksgiving in our little home. It ended up turning out great even with close quarters. I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Check this little guy out! He even had a smile on his face!
