Disc Golf!

I used to laugh whenever friends would go on and on about disc golf and how much fun it was. I thought it was a little strange, and since I don't really think ball golf is all that fun, I was mystified by their excitement.

But today all that changed. I played my first round of disc golf, and I... am... hooked! Jason and I went to Tom Brown Park today just to walk around, but once we arrived we saw the disc golf course and remembered that we had a Frisbee in the trunk. We played all 18 holes, and man was it fun, in spite of the fact that our Frisbee was pretty flimsy and thus hard to get into the basket. I posted a disc request to Freecycle once we got home, and I got a reply. So hopefully the next time we head out to the course we'll have some real discs to use.

Anyway, that was our fun for the day. Disc golf... it's a whole new world.

It's good to be home...

... in spite of the heat! :-)

It's been nice to be back home since returning from PA. The past couple of days have been spent packing and organizing for the move next week. We're just moving down the road from our current apartment, but we're using this as an opportunity to purge so our next move (out of Tallahassee :-) ) will be easier. We've been Freecycling like crazy, and feeling lighter by the minute.

Happy Memorial Day weekend!

Maplewood Prom

I haven't posted in ages since I've been away from home since the end of April. Jason and I drove from Tallahassee to East Tennessee to visit his parents, and then on to PA (where we currently are) to visit my parents. Along the way we visited the Tallulah Gorge State Park in north Georgia, which was really beautiful. I'll post some pictures of that later on.

This post is focused on my niece's junior prom which was on May 9 at the Riverside Inn in Cambridge Springs. We got to go and watch what I've come to understand as a small-town PA tradition -- basically that the whole town comes out to experience prom with the high schoolers. Here are some pictures of my niece with her boyfriend, Garrett:
And some other pictures of friends and family:
