This summer Sam and I have gotten very serious about buying a house. We event put an offer on one in Columbia County, but they weren’t too happy with our low ball offer. It turned out to be OK because we have been seeing a lot of great houses that are far better than the one we offered on. The great part is that Sam is a real estate agent, so viewing houses has become quite a hobby. One problem is that we have a tight budget and second we are undecided on living in the city or moving to the suburbs. Lots of people are swaying us both ways.

This summer Sam and I went to an event called Minis On Top where there were almost 250 MINI COOPERS! We caravanned with a group of wonderful Minis from Albany out to New Hampshire. Everywhere you looked there were Minis in every color. We met put a lot of miles on my car, but we met lots of great people. In single file all the Coopers climbed 6,288 feet to the top of Mt. Washington, and we received our notorious bumper sticker “This car climbed Mt Washington.” 
While we were driving we saw a ton of funny moose crossing signs. I don’t know why I thought they were funny, but they were. They read “Break for Moose. It could save your life.” We were hoping to see a moose and we did. And it wasn’t so funny when it darted across the road in front of a motor cycle that lead one of our caravans Fast little buggers for such a giant mammoth.

The sea is an amazing, miraculous wonder and under the deep, dark blue water there are colors you couldn’t imagine. When you’re travelling in a boat, skimming across the water you can’t begin to imagine the worlds that are beneath you.One of the greatest experiences in my life was when I spent three weeks in the Caribbean and snorkeled in the crystal, clear turquoise water nearly everyday.

Sam and I were sitting on the front stoop yesterday, enjoying a refreshing drink and people watching. It was beautful Sunday afternoon, and the Mini was parked out front.

There are thousands of antique stores in upstate NY with tons of great vintage items waiting to be discovered. I love rummaging through dusty, old things, wondering who wore this or used that. Back-in-the-day products were actually made with real, natural materials like wood, cooper, slate, stone, and metal. Ya know the saying, “they just don’t make things like they use to” – well it’s true, they don’t.
Anyway, I will find any excuse to go antique shopping. So, when my mom said she wanted to buy me an antique bedroom set I didn’t put up a fight.
