Heaven? No, Iowa.

Greg and I went on an honest-to-goodness vacation this week. We hopped aboard the Team Zippy bus and drove to the Western edge of the state, then we rode bikes (and the bus on occasion) across the state. In other words, we rode RAGBRAI.

Kids stayed home with a sitter, and we had a fabulous time. We forgot about work and kids for a while, which I didn't think was possible. (And now I'm singing Piano Man in my head...)

Here are some pictures if you are interested in diving into the adventure.

It was great being a Zippy again, and I hope I can do it again sometimes soon.

Hugs and love to all the Zippies out there!

Own a piece of the amazing Leedy Estate

We're having a garage sale tomorrow. Tons of 50s and vintage stuff will go, and tons more will undoubtedly remain at day's end. Hopefully when we're done, we'll have some petty cash to blow and some room in the house, garage, shop and shed for the last of our goodies that are patiently waiting in storage. 

If you know where we live, come on over—8 a.m. to 4 p.m. It'll be a buying-and-selling extravaganza! 

Midge

2012 continues to be a terrible year for man's best friend. This post is for Midge who— according to Rich's blog—was (and shall forever be) consistently adorable. Even when the camera refused to focus. 

She is always adorable.

Always.

Adorable.

Always.

RIP Midge. We are sending good thoughts your way, wherever you are.
