shappy abble earrings and other events

Apparently everyone knows about this but me, but our dear friends at Shabby Apple are giving away earrings if you post (blog, twitter, facebook, etc.) about your favorite dress.  I do love their clothes, it's just too bad they're so dang expensive!

Garden Isle

Whisk me away, Garden Isle dress, to a nice beach where I can lean against a rock and look tragically beautiful.

As for updates on the job front, I am starting work at a nice hunter show barn in Poolesville, Maryland.  There is an apartment on the property that we will probably be moving into in a few weeks.

This week, we went on an overnight hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail.  Beau's first time! I believe I have mentioned the AT before... it is a great trail that runs from Georgia to Maryland, covering over 2,000 miles.  There are shelters all along the way and hundreds of people "thru hike" (hike the whole distance) every year.  I dream of being one of those people.

As usual, I didn't take as many pictures as I should have...

I can start the stove all by myself.

And lastly, want to try something fun? Play around with this time waster.
