We went to Ithaca, New York this weekend to attend a wedding. It was a beautiful weekend, sunny and crisp just a touch of fall in the air. We watched the Dartmouth rugby team beat Cornell, walked the campus, drank some beers, visited the farmer's market, hung out with dear friends we hadn't seen in too long and made some new friends, too. There was a wonderful brisket, apples and honey, noodle kugel rehearsal dinner, a toast by Fatty for his best friend, a wedding mad lib, a beautiful and touching ceremony, a gorgeous bride and handsome groom, another heartfelt toast, a delicious cake, lots of champagne and even more dancing. I am tired and a bit sunburned. Other than that, it was pretty much perfect.
I know this has nothing to do with crafts, but I just felt I needed to record this. My life is full of good things and I am grateful for all my blessings. This weekend was one of them.
Sounds like a beautiful weekend.
My brother went to college in Ithaca and has been there ever since. Great family camping. Did you get to the McKenzie Childs factory? I could live at that place.
amen.
Hey cute couple! It sounds like a perfect weekend. xo
Glad you had a nice weekend and GO BIG GREEN!
Ithaca is gorges and right in my back yard! I’m glad you enjoyed our beautiful fall weekend! We spent it apple picking! 🙂
So glad you had a nice weekend. I am curious about this wedding mad-lib. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Sounds like the very best kind of weekend.
I am very glad that your blog is a scrapbook of who you are, and not just all crafts. I like it just the way it is.
Life cant always be a bout crafting….right? ;o) Life happens, therefore we must blog about it!
blogs shouldn’t be ALL crafting! i love seeing glimpses of other bloggers lives. (nosy me!) plus, that’s how i blog, so it must be ok, right?! 🙂
what a gorgeous couple you are!

ps. how did your husband get his name/nickname?
good things indeed. And celebrating those things out loud makes all of us go “yes, blessed lives we live….” It’s nice, to read such reminders. And PS– if I had a buck for every time someone complimented my camera strap, I would be SO rich (in the money sense of the word);)
Great pic! You were right near me in NY. Sounds like a great way to spend the weekend. Weddings are so much fun. We have had alot lately. I like hearing about your adventures.
My blog is just the opposite. Lot’s of life with a little crafting thrown in, it’s tough when then kids are so little to find the time to craft as much as I would like 😉
Blessings, Molly
sounds like a wonderful weekend! we enjoy seeing all the parts of your blessed life that you want to share with us!
Glad you had a great weekend.
On another note may I say thank you again for your mention last Friday. It was most helpful
You can keep an eye out on flicker for the Block Party
It’s called Tethered Threads Block Party
I only have two spots to fill.
Thanks ever so much.

Have to completely agree. We were there this summer. We did the wine tour along Lake Cayuga!! Kara
I love the mixture on your blog, crafts, food, family and life…perfect!
I went to a wedding in Ithaca a few years back. SO BEAUTIFUL there.
that sounds absolutely perfect. and yes! to recording those moments.
I always love when your family pops in on your blog pages.
sounds perfect 🙂
i love this picture, erin. i can almost hear you two talking to me…and i’ve never heard your voices. but that fatty? well, let’s just say you & he make a cute couple.
did you wear that great skirt?
Beautifully said my friend.
And I would have LOVED to have heard that toast…
oooh! ithaca! isn’t it amazing! though i’m partial; i’m a cornell alum…
you have so many weddings this summer! and i thought I had a lot. sounds like it was wonderful.
I love to read mentions of Ithaca and the gorges. I went to college there, and LOVED it, but I haven’t been back in over 20 years. Maybe some day…
I thought I commented on this at the time you posted it, but I guess not. Anyway, it’s so important to record these times. It’s too easy to let the good things slip by without remembering them. So, like Emily said, Amen.
