Harry Potter!

A few weeks ago T and I went down to the Harry Potter studios with two awesome friends!

Hogwarts model - the whole castle is huge, like the whole downstairs of our house

Hogwarts at night

the front of the Great Hall

The Burrow!

Butterbeer!

the Knight Bus

Gryffindor Common Room

Dumbledore's Office

Diagon Alley

It was awesome :-)

Country music comes to London

We bought the tickets like three months before the concert... so I had a long, long wait... for Lady Antebellum!! The concert was fantastic, we were so close!  I caught one of Dave's guitar pics we were so close!  

So here are some pics:::

Herbilicious

This has been a very long harbored desire: a vegetable garden :-)  But alas, our back yard is far too full of weeds (that I'm not even strong enough to pull down) to fathom a garden just yet... but a few months ago I thought, "Hey, maybe I can't have a veggie patch yet but I can definitely have pots of stuff inside!"  So naturally, that 'stuff' begins with herbs :-)  Simple and delicious.... with everything!  I just upgraded the two pots we had on the windowsill into an adorable arrangement of sage, chives, mint and a huge basil plant that's trying to take over the whole kitchen.  It's fun :-)

now we just need to pray they'll all live and thrive :-)
