Jamie –
I went to a cow farm. It doesn’t get much newer than that. I moved to the Midwest over 6 months ago and there’s an awesome Dairy Farm on 65 South that I always pass on my way back to Birmingham. I’ve been dying to go. Award-winning cheese, super-duper fresh milk & ice cream, PLUS – cows. And lots of them. They birth over 80 a day! I was lucky enough to arrive just as one had been born – and was then lucky enough to explain placenta to my 4-yr-old.

My new thing this week was taking a last minute trip. We’re not last minute people. I like to plan and find everything about the destination beforehand. But this past weekend, we just went. And it was just awesome, we’ll do it again. Though, with a few more minutes to pack/plan… we forgot the swim diaper, near catastrophe!

I decided to crochet. I’m sure that some where way back when, I have attempted this before. In fact I had all of the supplies I needed, no doubt from one of my many “craft ventures” that never panned out. I was perusing etsy the other night and saw something I thought was cute and decided to try my hand at making one. I rummaged through my many bins of abandoned craft projects and found the yarn and needles, unopened. So, I picked them up, looked up About.com and yeah, it’s not going so well. But I will persevere. I can make a chain. It’s not pretty, but it’s a chain. I have a long way to go before being able to replicate what I saw, but maybe down the road, my New Thing will be a picture of my new creation.
