Advent factory on Clover Street

December 1st is almost upon us and we got the advent wreaths for a few friends and family done just in time. It is actually quite a time consuming enterprise but it does get you into the holiday spirit.

In full production :-)



Some imperfect Lindt truffles had to be eaten



Our advent wreath was the last one done

A few miniature clothespins fell victim to the feverish pace

Jordan Rapp rules

Jordan Rapp was nearly killed by a hit and run driver a few months back and today he finished 4th at Ironman Arizona. You rock my friend

A pet update

Pete does like the fireplace


and Sylvie has moved in the guest bathroom near the radiator

Suppe und Salat

Gestern Abend gab es Suppe und Salat bei uns und es war sehr gut. Fuer so ein Herbst Wetter Abend gibt es wohl kaum was besseres. Well, for those of you who don't understand my native tongue, we had soup and salad for dinner last night and it was very fine and hit the spot.

Foursquare success

Who says foursquare isn't good for anything? This morning I actually unlocked the foursquare special at Whole Foods. Yes.



The reward (a $10 gift card) was promptly put to good use

Halloween in the West End

Halloween came and went and we had a good time. Well, Amy actually was on call and Halloween is seemingly always a bit crazy in terms of work. So I represented alone.

The calm before the storm



As most likely expected, a diverse candy selection at our home



What people saw when they approached the house



The pumpkin really looked pretty good



Up the street from us a Krispy Kreme employee had these great treats to offer
