Even though this is technically a Friday Favorites post, since I haven't posted in FOREVER, I have a couple things in here that happened before this week, but still recently. I've already forgotten most of the other stuff that's happened since I posted last, which is why I really need to get better about blogging!
1) The Lion King!!! - I've wanted to see this for a LONG time! We went to NY and didn't see it. It came to Baltimore while we were living in MD and we didn't see it. I had just accepted that we were never going to go see it. Josh surprised me with tickets for Christmas!!! We don't really do things like this and tickets were not cheap, so I wasn't expecting it. It was SO good! The show was last Thursday, so I had to wait a while, but it was totally worth the wait! The performers were great and you seriously forget that you're watching people sometimes!
Waiting for the seating area to open!
2) Family Visit - This past weekend, we went to visit family in VA. We don't get to see them very often so it was really nice to be able to catch up. We got to go to a Mexican restaurant that we love for lunch too, so that made the trip extra awesome! We got to spend a good amount of time with Josh's grandma and she's doing pretty well. Her memory is pretty awful now, definitely short term and even some long term, but she seemed very happy and was in good spirits.
3) Mushroom inoculation class - A couple weekends ago, I went to a mushroom inoculation class with Kristian. It was at a small farm that is owned by Durham Public Schools, which was really neat! We got to pick out our own log, drill holes in it, and insert dowels that had been inoculated with the fungus of our choice! I chose shiitake mushrooms and Kristian chose oyster mushrooms. Next, we covered all of the dowels and the ends of the logs with wax to keep the moisture in and competition for nutrients out. We had a really good time and hopefully by Fall, we'll have some tasty mushrooms!!! Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures.
4) One more ACC win - There's no sugarcoating it...our basketball team is absolutely horrible this year. We did beat Clemson last Saturday, so there is that. 4-11 in conference play is definitely nothing to be excited about, but I'll take what I can get. Fingers crossed football season is better!
5) Bailey is 5!!! - Today is Bailey's birthday. I'll post an extra post, because I want to and she deserves it.
She's turned into that dog that can just hang out on the front porch and people watch. We used to pass houses with these dogs and laugh about how that would NEVER be Bailey. She has surprised us. :-)
