adventures

 

I have no recent pics to share because my apartment is in packing-induced shambles and who knows where that camera is...

Yes I am packing up my little life here in PA because

I have a job

Only, it is far far away in OREGON. 

Doing field work for the Nature Conservancy for 6 months. And I need to move across the country in one week!

There are some big life changes afoot, and I expect to get back to regular postings and involvement with the little bloggyblog, as I will have many new adventures to share and will be living by myself again for some time since Ben is still job hunting out east here.

Am I crazy? Meh, not abnormally so. Is life crazy? Most definitely.

Civil War reenactors

The cute little town of Boalsburg, PA is {one of the apparently several small towns that claim to be} the "birthplace" of Memorial Day. To celebrate the day, the town has an extensive festival complete with carnival, streets of art, craft, and food vendors, an antique car show, and of course Civil War reenactments. Living in the town next door, we had to check it out despite muggy temperatures in the 90's (I am so glad I was not stuck in a poofy wool 1860s period dress!!). It was a fun way to recognize and celebrate the holiday and a nice kick-off to summer, for it is definitely summer now in these parts.
