I LOVE

I currently have a thing for maps. I was recently gifted this poster, which has created a point of interest on a previously bare kitchen wall.




Check out these other cool maps I have on my wish list:

Scenes from the Weekend

This weekend we had guests. My mom and sister arrived Friday afternoon. From Friday through Sunday, we only did one of two things: Eat or walk!

We walked through antique malls...








We walked through the park...







We did a lot of walking, but probably not enough to burn the calories from all this food!









That wasn't even all the food. Friday night we enjoyed a veggie pizza from a locally owned pizzeria - Grace's Place. Sunday we had brunch at the farm-to-table restaurant Local Roots!

We enjoyed everything a good weekend should include: quality time, good food, exploring nature and shopping!

In Print.

Remember when Mr. Price and I ran into Peter Frank Edwards, a photojournalist for Travel + Leisure magazine? (If you don't, you can read about it here.)

I finally saw some of his work published in the most recent issue of Garden & Gun magazine. Even though we only had a random and brief encounter with Mr. Edwards, it was still cool to see his name in print. I liken it to seeing a city you've visited featured on TV. It's always cool to say, "Hey, I've been there!"

I think I'll enjoy saying, "Hey, I've met that photographer!" when I see Mr. Edwards' work now. Who knows maybe I'll even stumble upon the picture he took of Mr. Price and me!

After watching this interesting video on Mark's Daily Apple...




I bought this:




A Camelbak Better Bottle.

I had become so caught up in the "drinking clean, pure water craze" that I didn't even think about the waste those plastic water bottles produce! One of the first things Mr. Price and I registered for when we were engaged was a Brita Water Pitcher. We rarely buy bottled water for our home, and thanks to the Brita, I rarely drink water straight from the faucet.

The places I am most tempted to buy bottled water are at work and on the road. I guess it's the convenience factor. The bottles are right there, the water is already filtered, and I don't have to do anything but pay for it.

To me drinking water from a refillable glass or container just seems like common sense and not too novel of an idea. But it took watching that YouTube video for the light bulb to go off in my head. I guess somewhere along the way, I got caught up in the craze just like many folks (which reminds me of the bible verse Romans 12:2).

Check out another cool invention I saw in Popular Science magazine:

It's a Bobble. It filters water as you drink! I must try this.
