last night we had a date night out to a good ol’ fashioned baseball game. we actually had gone on one of our very first dates there, seems like fifty years ago now, and hadn’t been back, just the two of us, since. plus i’ve been craving a really good hotdog for weeks now and can always count on the ball park’s all-star dog stands for just that … i’m pleased to announce … the craving is solved. we also had the biggest ice-cream cones on record to date, which we of course couldn’t finish, and to top things off, our team brought home the win. one of my favorite dates this year for sure!

kramer has decided he is no longer a dog but instead a little man. i mean really, he was never a dog with all his human-like personality traits and all, but lately he has taken things to a whole new level. i’ve noticed kramer watching us very closely recently … always keeping an eye on us … like he is really trying to pay attention to what and why we are doing each little thing, then, without much notice or reason he will decide it is high time that he do it too. just the other morning while still waking up he came up from the bottom of the bed, took one look at camden who, might i add, sleeps with his head tucked between two pillows to block out the morning light, and stuck his sweet head in between those pillows right along with him. if he keeps this behavior up much longer he’ll be cleaning and cooking in no time … one can hope anyway. 

have any fun/funny pet stories of your own?? would love to hear them if you do! 

i was so inspired by the indigo fabric dying that was in the latest issue of kinfolk that i got my sisters together for a bit of impromptu tie-dying. being spur of the moment and all, i didn’t have any indigo dye to make that beautiful rich denim hue that i so longed for so instead we mixed a few r.i.t. fabric dyes together to come up with something similar in color. though i’m quite happy with the way they turned out, i would love to do it again with real indigo dye because i’m convinced nothing else quite compares …
