Remeber this big ole' beauty on Ocean City Blvd.? I had a quick visit with her last week while my mother was in town. Things didn't turn out as planned... but, now that mom's gone... I went back! This home was actually quite happy to see me.This house was filled with lots of old charm. Big molding, large windows, tall ceilings, push-button light switches. There was also a lot of empty candy-wrappers in the house. Not so sure about that one. It was like kids emptied out their candy buckets after going trick-or-treating and left all of the candy papers...

Every now and again I get the feeling like I'm not supposed to be somewhere. Like I'm not supposed to be disturbing an old farm house that was built in 1875. Like I'm not supposed to be climbing through vines of poison ivy to take photographs of vintage wall paper. Psshhh. Thank goodness those feelings only happen every so often.Yesterday evening, Sandi and I went to visit this old house. It's one of my favorites and sits way back a dirt lane in the country. Completely serene and the perfect place to get away for a few hours. Unless there's...

Last weekend, after watching the Coal Town Rounders at the Abbey Bar in Harrisburg, Kid PA put on an excellent show. I swear that they get better, and better every time I see them (which is extremely often). These guys tore it up. Since Kid PA was the last band to play at the Rouge Evening event, the crowd was just a little tipsy by the time they began. What can you expect from the only brewery in town? Great job satisfying my live punk music fix for the week. Found out earlier this week that Kid PA will be playing a...

Who sneaks off to the wilderness to take outfit photos? This strange little girl right here, that's who. This section of the woods was cleared for a housing development that never became. I'm fine with that. I much prefer this serene grassy opening in the middle of the trees to a community of townhomes any day.That red & white stripped dress has a lot of sentimental value to it. Why? My mother used to be a pageant queen. Yes, it's true. She has a few titles under her belt. Thank goodness she never forced that hobby onto my sister &...

These guys are un-be-lieve-able! The Coal Town Rounders, ladies & gentlemen. I spent Saturday night in Harrisburg, PA. Kid PA had a show scheduled that night at the Appalachian Brewery's Abbey Bar. I knew that the boys were playing with a few different bands, and that one was a folky/bluegrass band that was good, but I didn't know much else. One of the local tattoo shops had called 4 bands to play that night in celebration of their 3-year-anniversary. Kid PA was stoked and I was stoked to be in central PA again. We went swimming all day, relaxed pool side, ate burgers...
