Giving the gift of knits

    


















This is the first year I've actually completed all my Christmas knitting on time! They are all mostly hand-wrapped and ready to go. I hope everyone enjoys them. Next are the Christmas cookies and cards!

A homemade veggie tale

'Tis the season for zucchini, summer squash, and tomatoes ... I'm no vegetarian, but I don't mind forgoing a steak for pasta tossed with veggies and a light sauce made from Boursin. Dinner is served!

From Munsonian to Louisvillian


I loooove my new city. It has coffee shops, malls, restaurants, park --- anything you can imagine. Okay, it's not Chicago, but it is definitely an upgrade.

Hello, Muncie!


Just several hours after stopping in Muncie and I've already made friends. Kind of. As I was exploring downtown and taking photos like a tourist, I made a couple friends. I have no idea who they are, nor was I able to get their names, but they gave me a warm welcome.

Muncie is the home of Garfield the lasagna-eating cat. I can't wait to hunt for all the Garfield statues scattered around town. I got to see a little bit of the downtown Muncie night life -- last night the town had its Art Walk, which featured local art sales all over the downtown area. I got a taste of all the things I can do -- from painting pottery to sipping beers from all over the world. And the architecture was just beautiful, with some buildings dating back to the early 1900s.

I discovered that Indiana thin crust pizza is all toppings and. Delicious, but not quite what I expected. Oh, Chicago stuffed pizza, I will miss you so.

The fall colors in town were also just stunning. I wish I could spend more time in town -- two days wasn't enough. I didn't get a chance to hit the parks or check out the weekly farmers' market. And I didn't have time to check out Ball State University. So much to do, and so little time ...
