Frederick and the Groundhogs

This is Frederick.  He's my garden gnome.  Not quite a groundhog, but I'm sure he has connections to the groundhog world.   HAPPY GROUNDHOG DAY EVERYONE!!!!

Wall

I've run right into one.  No creativity in me at all at this moment.  But that's okay.  So to fill some blog space while I hurdle this wall...have you seen this video???  I'm slightly addicted to it. 

Sedona & Jerome, AZ

I had the chance to visit my BFF Pam in Arizona last week.  She lives in the middle of no where.  I cried for her when I got to her house.  She actually lives in the middle of Sedona and Jerome.  All 3 together in the middle of no where.  We went hiking in Sedona which was beautiful in it's own special red rock kind of way.

Then there was Jerome.  It's an old mining city turned artist colony built straight into the side of a mountain.  It's bizarre and pretty awesome all at the same time.  The locals say it's haunted.  Sure, maybe.  Here's the view from the city...

Lewis Family

I've known Laura since the days of summer girls camp. This girl is f-u-n-n-y! Luckily her husband is equally as hilarious and they definitely pass it down to their kids.

Eliza Jean

 This little girl...I can't handle her cuteness.  That smile of hers makes me weak.

Manhattan Beach, CA

I kind of fell in love with Manhattan Beach this weekend.  It's beautiful, of course.  It felt tucked away from other beaches.  Most importantly, there is this creamery right up from the pier that sells Maple Bacon Crunch ice cream.  Oh sweet mercy!  That stuff was delicious.  When I own a home there over looking the ocean you are all invited to come sit with me on my balcony eating ice cream.

Man, do I love this little guy.
