I am obsessed with soliciting donations to the fun fair silent auction. He thing is that I am not even on the committee. Oh well, I have been getting such a great response. Now I can’t stop. I’ve been contacting local etsy crafters and they’ve been awesome!

Too cute for words

It is December already?

It always sneaks up on me, but this year it seems December has really flown by. Can Christmas really be right around the corner. My daughter has really embraced this holiday more than any prior years. She is giddy and thrilled that we have been able to do some crafts together. Thought I’d share the swags we made. I am getting very excited to celebrate.

Whirl wind Hoosier weekend

healthatmysize — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 21:54:18 +0000

As mentioned earlier, my usual trips to Indiana revolve around the tv and the fridge with a stop or two in the community. This last minute trip of mine was packed. I am so lucky to have this husband who understands that there are times I want to be with my parents without husband and children. Here are the highlights:
1. Saw Red Hot Patriot, the Molly Ivins story.
2. Had family dinner with some old friends at a local Chinese buffet.
3. Shopped at a second hand store for kids clothing and really struck gold.
4. Cooked meatloaf and mashed potato meal for Arlington United Methodist Men.
5. Watched presentation of Guatemalan mission house building project.
6. Drove to the farmhouse restaurant in brown county for a meal and excellent peach cobbler.
7. Visited the uncommon Gourd and watched a falcon release.
8. Went to three craft fairs.
9. Watched my mother perform in a play.
10. Took megabus.
11. Ate at FARM, twice! Delicious!!!
12. Tried sugar craft.
13. Visited with my younger sister.
14. Went to City Market downtown Indy.
15. Went to optometrist to order new glasses.
16. Bought new sweater.
17. Took some car naps.

Here are photos from the weekend. What a great, but exhausting time.

There’s more than Corn in Indiana

I know this is true, but did you? My experiences this week have reminded me of this fact. Today I ate the best meal I have ever had in Indiana. I’ve had family in Bloomington for years and we love to go out to eat. This afternoon my father and I decided to try something different from our normal fare and went to Farm.

Farm: 108 Kirkwood Ave., Bloomington, Indiana

Both of us agree, this was the best food we’ve had in Bloomington, period. Chef/Owner Daniel Orr uses local and organic products and produce to make a mean breakfast. My dad ordered a grape, walnut and goat cheese omlette (I thought it sounded insane) and I ordered the Hoosier biscuits and gravy made with sausage and sweet peppers. We ate everything on our plates and had to order another biscuit which was incredible.

The best biscuit I have ever eaten crunchy crispy on the outside and light on the inside.

I commented that I wished we could turn back the clock to when we first entered the restaurant so that I could order and eat the same thing again. We had reservations at another restaurant tonight, but we’ll be returning to Farm. T

Continued Hoosier flair at Farm.

racey Walker, the Regional Events manager was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. If you are in the Bloomington area, you MUST eat here.
