Calvert Cliffs

This past weekend, TJ and I took our doggies on a trip south towards Solomon's Island. We decided to go on a hike to see Calvert Cliffs. The nearly 2 mile hike in was well worth it when we saw our destination, a beautiful beach sprayed with pieces of shells and fossils. The view to the north of the cliffs was absolutely stunning. We arrived at nearly sunset with just enough time to get back to our car before sundown. What a way to end such a gorgeous day.

In Loving Memory

Albert "Al" Schutzman
September 1, 1915 - February 3, 2011













The day before Grandpa passed away, my daily calendar had a quote that said, "A grandfather is someone with silver in his hair and gold in his heart." The following morning bore news of his passing.
We've just now returned from Brattleboro, Vermont where funeral services were held for Grandpa Schutzman on Friday the 11th of February. It was a very simple and yet quaint service where memories followed by laughter and tears were shared.
Funerals are not something that you look forward to but it was nice to be together with family and to be reminded how precious life and our relationships with one another are.
Although his departure has been a sad time, knowing that he has been reunited with Grandma is of great comfort.

Favorite Commercial from the Super Bowl

I love the beaver! Yes, I said "beaver" not "bieber". The Bridgestone karma commercial gets my vote this year. Too bad the clip adds another commercial at the end...not my liking.

Baked & Wired

Who knew that one cupcake could have such an effect on me? Well, I'm sure you didn't have to let your imagination run too wild. So, sorry all you Georgetown Cupcake fans...my new love is Baked & Wired! I had "Karen's Birthday" cupcake, a delicious combo of fresh chocolate cake topped with a vanilla buttercream frosting...I had no idea it was "Karen's" birthday and I didn't even buy a gift...but boy oh boy did her cupcake taste scrumptious!
Thank goodness they parked the bike out front for me...gotta burn off those calories (but oh sooo worth it)!

Me Crêpe Amour

I had my first Georgetown crêpe! Oh how I have missed these savory delights that make me salivate! I came upon this shop located in the DC area with my friend Emily as we were seeking some place to satisfy our taste buds over lunch. Good find!
"The Mayflower" was on the menu - a tasty combo of smoked turkey, swiss cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and cranberry sauce.
