I have totally neglected my blog, I’m sorry. However, if you’ve been following my Twitter, you’ll know I constantly blow that up, so I have no real valid excuse.
Things have been busy. I loved my trip up north for three weeks and it was packed with adventures (Boston; N.Y.C.; Rockport, Mass.; Keene, N.H.; losing two [...]

Posted by: Faith Swymer on: April 30, 2009

I apologize for the delay. There really is no excuse; since I’ve left the paper I have a whole world of time on my hands — I’ve just used it so far to prepare for my trip up north next week and practicing the guitar (more on that in a later blog post).

Posted by: Faith Swymer on: April 29, 2009

Here are some photos from my trip this past weekend. I was overwhelmed on my walk from the Max to the home of my sister-in-law and her husband… strolling past the neighborhood pubs and restaurants, it was littered with petals from the bright, bold blooms (alliteration?) from the trees overhead and the scattered gardens.
