Happy Thanksgiving.

Chris posted gorgeous pictures of the morning frost today. I asked him to take some pictures of my morning project so that I could document what I was doing while he was in the yard. I baked a Cranberry Tea Cake from the Moosewood cookbook.

Last night my brother and I got to spend time with our good friend Kurt. Kurt's parents recently got a hot tub and as you can tell from the video, we were all very excited about it. So excited in fact that Kevin and Kurt performed a musical number in their bathrobes. It was a fantastic evening of soaking, laughing and piano playing.

Inspired.

Welcome to the new blog. Chris started his own a while back and I've decided it's time to jump back on the bandwagon. This is my first attempt at posting in a very long time so bear with me. The picture's a bit blurry (sorry Chris) but the photo inspired me so I'm going with it! I haven't decided on a focus for the blog, but I think it will likely include photos of the taleff o'casey adventures. With a bit of encouragement, I will make an effort to post weekly.

Our most recent adventure was last weekend. We took our friend Alyx on a 1,900 mile college tour road trip through Oregon and Washington. We explored campuses, visited old friends and shopped. This picture was taken at Willamette University where Chris went to school. Chris was trying to look freaked out. He did a good job.
