Karen & Mel's Year of Fun!

The beautiful Melissa and I have decided that we need to take a more active role in obliterating our boredom.  We have now named the next 12 months our "Year of Fun!"  To get things started right we've packed a few fun and budget-friendly activities into our week - Thursday Pumpkin Carving (but no scary movies please!), Saturday morning hike in the Palisades to get some outdoorsy time, and Sunday farmer's market with April to get to know our new neighborhood.  Stay tuned for pics and stories!

Picking Pumpkins at the Patch!

Hello Team. It's been a while, but I'm back - slightly less bored and broke, and now in my later-twenties....


It's almost Halloween time, and we got into the spirit with a trip to the Pumpkin Patch including a tour of the scarecrows in the sunflower fields (we had our phones handy in case we got lost and had to call 911 for help, don't you worry).


Suffice it to say, I was very happy to pick some pumpkins and pretty kick-ass funky looking gourds. We did, however, miss the memo on bringing your own shopping cart or walker/seat combo to hold all of your findings....One at a time for us!
