Saturday was a fun-filled day. We did our best to get out and see the new community(ies) that we live in. (its complicated. champaign-urbana, urbana-champaign.)
We started out going to a very fun farmers market! (held every Saturday morning all summer long) And came home with fresh salsa and sugarsnap peas. yum. Then we went to some outlet malls that are a half-hour away and shopped all afternoon! We found some amazing steals as I prepared to outfit myself as a real "grown-up" in more professional garb.
Then on the way home we heard (on the radio) about a fun event called the Strawberry Jam in Urbana. They had live bluegrass bands in a little grassy grove, praries to explore, and best of all- FREE vanilla icecream topped with real strawberries! It was awesome.
After a quick trip home we headed to Downtown Champaign for a jazzy evening. The streets were blocked off around some trendy restaurants, and people were gathered in front of a huge stage with a great band playing swing! Needless to say we danced in the street in the summer twighlight and laughed at ourselves.
Sunday was also great- church is always a much needed boost and we met some new people in the ward. The evening started out perfect- we went on a walk and saw fireflies! For my very first time. They are magical little things. Next time we'll catch some in a jar. But tragedy struck later that night when we decided to do our laundry. Although the laundry shed is only steps from our backdoor, its still a shared facility with all our neighbors and the door is never locked. We did all our laundry and brought it in to fold, but alas (as always) the towels were not completely dry. They did'nt stand a CHANCE in all of this humidity. So we decided to throw them back in for another cycle. And promptly forgot. This morning, Jonny woke up and said..."OH NO." They were gone. GONE! :( yes, I was mad/sad. They were nice towels. But they are replaceable. This is the 2nd time we've had stuff stolen from us at a laundromat. And both times...it was not clothing...it was linens.
Only the linens were desireable enough to steal, apparently. Towels, sheets, etc.
...what does this say about our wardrobes?
hmmm.
I'm a little offended to be honest. Who do they think they are?
Oh well. Now someone out there has a monogrammed towel. jYm
