This past weekend there was a huge pumpkin festival in my town. There was a pumpkin regatta, where giant pumpkins were carved out into boats and then raced against each other in the river. This picture is from my personal favorite race, the one with the dogs included on the boats.
This video is from the pumpkin drop that happened on Saturday. The pumpkin was up at least a hundred feet in the air, held up there by a gigantic crane. It must have weighed more than four hundred pounds. It was a big pumpkin. The car was flattened.

My new archnemesis

This cat that likes to sit on the cars in our driveway. I looked at it from our window on the third floor and it gave me the dirtiest look ever. YOU ARE ON MY CAR!!! Stop giving me dirty looks. This morning this cat had another cat with it. Both of them looked at me like they were going to cut me.

Yesterday was the bridal shower for Juliana here at my parents house. It went quite well. The food was all really good, thanks to the additional dishes that Karen brought with her. Her daughters also made these adorable heart shaped blueberry tarts, that were quite delicious. I'm sure they had a more successful morning in the kitchen than I did. I managed to start a fire in the microwave and have the oven smoking the entire time I was using it. I'm not sure I should be using the oven or even the kitchen without adult supervision. I'm slightly less stressed now that I know the bridal shower is over and that it went well. I was so worried about it all, but it managed to all come together and everyone was so wonderful. Juliana has some really special people as friends and family. Today is moving day and I haven't packed at all yet.

Welcome to the world Bailey Mae!

My brother and his wife had a baby yesterday. That makes me an official aunt! All she does so far is eat and sleep.

Summer...

Summer in Bath, for me, is the naked lady fountain in the library park. I've always loved this fountain, even when I was a little girl. I also love the stories my parents would sometimes tell me about going to work and seeing a bra decorating/attempting to clothe the woman. I took this photo during one of the fantastic days of weather we have been having this week. It is so nice to be able to walk around the city of Bath on my lunch break.

The office that I work at (also known as my parents office) is going to have a Biggest Loser competition. If you are unfamiliar with the Biggest loser, it is pretty much a competition to see who can lose the most weight. I've already discussed how I think it should be percentage of body weight lost, since I'm outweighed by everyone there by at least twenty pounds. Perhaps even thirty. My father and brother will not be taking part in the competition, since they are both very skinny already. I've already told the secretaries that I'm going to kick their butts. They seemed uninterested in my comment.

Rummage Sale

The picture of the bike is my NEW bike that I bought for fifteen dollars. I love the rummage sale. There were far too many people there this morning. I went with the intention of getting some sort of furniture, but it was so packed in there with people and stuff that I quickly was too overwhelmed to be productive in furniture hunting. I'm going back this evening with my mother and probably tomorrow and the next day. You have to go multiple times, because there is just so much stuff there that it is easy to miss things. Plus the last day is bag day and they pretty much want to just get rid of all the stuff.
