Our visit to Savannah was great–very relaxing. We even went to the beach! I don’t have much time to write about it here as we’re off to see the Flemings in Virginia later on today, but I can share a few pictures to give you a feel for the trip.

Well, sort of.
Our friends John and Sonya have started an organic farm in Poland, ME. They’re being profiled by a local newscaster and they were on TV (woohoo!). It’s good stuff. Clicky here and follow the link to “Play Video” in the upper right. You’ll need Windows Media Player.
And the weekend goes out with a bang

I bring you glad tidings from the Terri sports world, as the Celtics, the Penguins, and the Red Sox all won big today.
I bring you glad tidings from the baby world, wherein Nora and Jim found out a few days ago that they are having a little boy, and wherein John and Sonya have just told us that they are due to have their first on Christmas Day.
And I bring you glad tidings from the kitchen, wherein Ez and I conjured up ridiculously delicious-smelling goat cheese enchiladas with red chile mole. Picture to come.
New cell phone

I finally got a new cell phone, so I am taking yet another little step toward catching up to the 21st century. I can now text message (ho-ho!), and my phone has weight, volume, length, temperature, and other conversion tools and will even wash my car (okay, unfortunately it will not–yet–wash my car). It’s shiny. It takes pictures (although I really don’t need it to do so) and short video clips. It slices. It dices. It dances the hoochie coochie. It plays music. It sings songs.
Welcome, new phone!
Oh, and I’m on a mission to update my address book, so get me your number if you think I might need it.
A few things to share

So I haven’t felt very blog-worthy lately, as I suppose is apparent.
A few possibly blogworthy notes:
- My parents visited about a week ago. I was excited to see them as they don’t get up here very often. I felt a bit as though I bored them, but some of the best bits are always just sitting and chatting over a cup of tea or sharing a book. I was pretty glum when they left.
- I finally signed up for a photo class. I’m a little nervous, but it should be good. If nothing else, I won’t have to wonder anymore if I should take a solid basic photo class or not.
- Ez and I are going down to Savannah later this week to visit with Nora and Jim (and their kitties). I see Nora so rarely and I’ve never been to Savannah. I’m looking forward to hanging out and getting a bit of a summer preview with beach, berries, and bumbling around.
- I found Jeff Sher’s blog, The Animated Life, on NYT online. I’m usually pretty late to the party on these things, but in case you aren’t familiar with his work, go here to see his latest, “All the Wrong Reasons.”
