Clash of the Titans with Jax

Today Jackson and I hung out and watched Clash of the Titans and ate junk food then Jax posed behind the wheel of Roark. Sometimes the best days are the ones where very little occurs.

Return to Charm City with Kay

Originally today we were supposed to go out to Centralia so I could finally see and photograph Graffiti Highway, but they fucking covered it over COMPLETELY with dirt. Bastards. Feeling utterly let down (since I meant to go in October of last year but Zach and I never got there, then Corona came to town and has yet to get the hint and freakin' leave) we instead decided to drive to Baltimore, check out Graffiti Alley, hit MOM's for lunch, and maybe stop at Atomic Books. The drive was fantastic with loads of chit chat and great background tunes. We went straight to the MOM's in Hampden for a peepod break and grabbed Naked Lunch to eat in the car, then off to Graffiti Alley, which was, of course, closed. Well, not closed exactly, but there were tons of people there being professionally photographed for what looked like a birthday party. Not to be refused my chance to snap photos of street art for the second time in a week, I pulled out my white privilege, parked Roark up on the sidewalk, hopped out to grab a couple pix, then we were off back to Hampden. We parked, paid, then walked up to Atomic Books for some new reads. Oh, it was closed, except by appointment. Unreal. We just said eff it and headed back to Philly. The best part of our day was stopping at The Chesapeake House on the way home and, I am not kidding, it was a parade of puppers. There was one family we saw that was adopting two dogs and then a slew of other people walking their pups before hopping back on I-95. We sat there for nearly thirty minutes just so happy to see all the cuties.

(Kayla took this pic on the sly of the sweetest little puppy ever - it made up for Atomic Books being closed.)

And here's a video Kayla captured:

Camino Life

I ordered a Camino scarf off Etsy and it's perfect. Even better still was the lovely postcard and note from the seller.

Back to School (sorta...)

Bailey and Lucy started back to school, this time it's online. I do love that both gals still got dressed up and had their hair done for the occasion. Oh they are such little cuties!

(Avery looks so perplexed but at least Bailey is smiling! Oh and how cute is Avery's messy food-face? Adorable.)
 

Baldwin's With Anne

Anne had never been to Baldwin's Book Barn and since we both had off for Labor Day, I picked her up and off we went to West Chester! It was a little hot and I was grateful that the back doors to the barn were open so I could pop out and take off my mask. How are front liners doing this?!?! Every time I hit the five minute mark on my mask and feel sweaty and suffocated I instantly think of doctors and nurses and people working in supermarkets and jobs where a mask has to be worn for the whole shift. How are they doing it for their entire shift?! Ugh, I am SO thankful I work at home. Anyway, Anne really liked the place and we both picked up a few books and of course, lovely Fred was there to ring us up. He's really my favourite part of that place. Just the nicest guy in town.

(This last photo turned out SO good! It looks like a postcard.)
