French Country






We had such a fun, fun, fun weekend--and it isn't even Suday yet! My darling friend Chantal (she of the "out of the hood project" like myself) flew across the ocean from Paris, France to visit The Fahja-land. You know...America and me. Keep up. Her two kids and my two kids were just totes adorable together...as much as four teenagers, all of whom have siblings present can be adorable. They hoped to have an Amish sighting and were sorely disappointed not to see a single buggy or wagon. Chantal is now sure that I live a rich fantasy life in which I am married to Charles Ingalls and fancy myself as pretty as Diane Lane in Lonesome Dove. In order to prove my sanity I handily produced an Amish Family Experience by visiting the King's farm across the street...introductions were made, photos taken, reputations restored and affirmations blogged.

We went to Ocean City, MD because that is what we do.

Stone Wall in Snow


Let's face it, when you have an 189 year old stone wall in front of your house, it's always a photo opportunity. Its like having Kate Moss for a subject...ya just can't shoot from a bad angle. Add in some snow; picturesque, heavy snow, and there's your blog post.

StoneWall BreakThrough ExtraGanza




The stone wall is no longer going to be covered up. It is actually being uncovered.

Fireplace (almost) Famous




Can you guys almost see the similarities in these two pictures? The first is a multi-million dollar home in California and one is in the countryside of Chester County, Pennsylvania. It's like they're twin homes torn apart by a jealous relative. Right? OK, maybe not but I personally was struck by the blatant rip off.

Pennsylvania Grand Canyon


We went to the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania this weekend and had a great time! Our friends own a mountain cabin and generously invited us. Here is a picture of their house on top of Rattler Mountain in Tioga County, PA.
