 NOTE: This should have been posted BEFORE my trip out East.

Also this weekend, beside my adventure picking up a stray, we had our May Book Club Meeting! This past month we read Dragonflight: One of the dragons of Pern books. It was our fantasy/ sci-fi genre month and we couldn't have picked a better book to represent both! It had both dynamics and I loved it!

Anyways the party was great! I had like a million great ideas and we only got to a few of them even!

Paying respects to Lord of the Rings: some of the greatest fantasy books of all time is my party sign I posted to the front door.
 I also antiqued a crap load of paper. I had 4 big maps of Pern and then all of the Harpers (teaching) songs that were used in the book... There were a lot. haha
 I also made a little photo booth where you could pretend to be  a dragon and breathe fire. In the book the dragons' main purpose was to destroy silver thread that fell from the red star and basically killed everything if it actually burrowed into the ground. Hence the thread and red star :P

 Above: my coffee table all decked out with my antiqued paper, candles, and a dragon statue supplied by my one and only: Braden :)

We were going to paint some Easter Eggs to look like Dragon Eggs (described in the book) but so many people came! (Thanks Kneaders friends!) and we didn't need the time killer. But we did however play my very clever game of: PIN THE TALE ON THE DRAGON. It was a memory based game where I had a Dragon picture (which Braden did an amazing drawing for me) and I taped scales with the names a tales that had dragons in them upside down. Then we had a bunch of "tails" with the description of the tale on a scale that people had to match up... Only they had to flip each over after their turn until somebody remember which tail went to while tale. Get it? Well ya I was incredibly fond of my great game idea and it all went so well! I made pizza in the oven, Amanda brought a red juice, Kendal made Dragon egg rice krispie treats (that had more treats inside!) and the star of the show Brett made a dragon shaped bread! It was awesome!

Next month is plays so we are reading a comedy called "Cyrano de Bergerac" and I'm super excited about it!

Fall Carbon County ATV ride

Fall Carbon County ATV Tour Let me start off this post by saying that not only did this tour far exceed my expectations, but the entire area did. If you hear Carbon County, most people immediately ask "what is there to even do there," "where is that?" Then you mention "Price" which is on all the road signs when you head from SLC to Moab and you get a few nods.  WELL, time to change that.

Another Carbon County Success story: Getting to watch closing races of a 3 day event: The Castle Country Clash at the Desert Thunder raceway. Some of you who knew me years ago would know I was a big NASCAR fan back in the day. (I mean I made NASCAR board game for a 5th grade math project once...I was serious about it)  So when Tina asked us if we would be interested in attending the weekend's stock car races my answer was an easy YES! Saturday with our ATV ride, we were wiped out but luckily we finished our hike Sunday just in time for me to check out the afternoon races.

NYC posts- Brooklyn & Central Park

NYC Day 2: Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, and Central Park Despite the late night Broadway show before, we were up early and determined to hit the rest of the list. So first up was Brooklyn. It took about 40 min to get to the Bagel Store on Bedford Ave between 2 subway lines and less than mile of walking. Rainbow bagel with funfetti smear: perfection.
