Birthday gaming

We celebrated (e:puddlediving)'s 39th birthday last night with gaming. This is 7 Wonders. Also played Alhambra. We have a new set of expansions for it but didn't use any of them because two players hadn't played the core game. Happy birthday, Lana!

Fireflies in the ANF

We took a camping trip in June to the Allegheny National Forest, Pennsylvania's only national forest, to see the synchronous fireflies during their mating season. These fireflies are best known in Asia and the Great Smokey Mountains but Allegheny Defense Project noticed them last year and brought researchers in to check 'em out this year.

They're amazing. Breath-taking amazing.

I didn't even try to take pix of the fireflies - incredibly difficult shooting conditions, much much harder than fireworks. So I took pix of camping.

A lovely wedding

A couple of the coop house kids got married on Thursday afternoon near the upper rapids at Niagara Falls State Park. A simple Episcopalian ceremony, a picnic, and croquet!

Laundry

I set up the new wireless router today at Wendy's so I'm hanging on the back porch watching my laundry dry and surfing. Maybe I'll go for a little walk in the woods later. This is the longest stretch of unplanned time I've had in bloss in forever. It's lovely.

Last night I visited with my friends Hannah, Liz & Jennie at Liz' folks' place in the far northwestern region of Tioga County. It's in the same county as Bloss but it's over an hour's drive, 50-some miles. I got stuck in traffic! Unexpected at 11pm on a Saturday. The fireworks in Galeton let out the same time I left Liz' house. We made s'mores on the front lawn then it started to rain so we hung on the porch in candlelight. We could just barely hear the Galeton fireworks. Liz said that some nights she can hear her neighbors across the valley talk on their porch.

Thursday night ride

The music at the harbor thursday was excellent - arrested development. Had a great ride after - down to ship canal, then to zetti's on elmwood. We ran into kim k. on richmond, and I got a flat tire :-( the little rock is the culprit.

Twilight bike ride

The Thursday Harbor concert kinda sucked so we left and rode to the outer harbor, past Tifft Nature Preserve, down to the Ship Canal Commons (e:Terry), (e:KeithT) and I met back up with (e:Paul) & (e:Matthew) at the food truck afterparty on Mississippi for some munchies. The sunset was gorgeous and the General Mills plant smelled like Lucky Charms.

This week at home

I was only home Monday night to Wednesday night, but it was an emotional rollercoaster. My community has pulled together to support the fire victims and others affected by the losses, both financially and emotionally. From Sleezy Construction & Barbecue Co.'s chicken (all items donated, all sale proceeds go to the benefit), to a yard sale, bake sale, basketball tourney... my community rocks. I feel very guilty that I'm not there today.

Wendy's kitty Honey snuck in my room to enjoy the sunshine in the window.

Ya know how people say they're going to use the phone book as a booster seat? Kinda silly in Tioga County.
