Drove to Arizona Friday for my bridal shower. Saw so many people I love including family, a maid of honor, and friends from first grade. Spent some of my last days as Ashley Freese drinking wine and laughing with my parents. What a great time in life!
This is the first time I’ve ever stopped and taken a photo of this dinosaur after 25 years of making that drive.

now its sitting in my dark closet with a towel on top (7-10 days)
the baby mushroom on top will birth another baby that I can use or give away.
then i get to bottle the magical elixir and drink to my hearts content
bonus: now i have tons of wise quotes hanging from my cupboard.
This just in: The Linkery has received a little present from New Belgium Brewing Co. It’s sour, its one of a kind, it’s dark and lovely… its a cask of Shadow of the Foeder. La Folie blends with 1554 to create something to be desired… I’m dreaming of dark chocolate malts from the black lager and sour apples from the flander’s red. Ahh.. Wednesday the 19th can’t come soon enough.

This is perfect. Eat, open, drink, eat again. This little fork will be added to the “stuff I’m going to buy when I am financially stable enough to make frivolous purchase” list.

How was I blessed so? The one weekend I decided to go to SF (because Southwest had amazing deals) and it just magically HAPPENS to be San Francisco Beer Week! I was already excited, but now I’m just nervous I’ll come back in debt or needing maternity jeans.
Also seeing how I never got around to posting San Diego Beer Week photos I suppose I’ll just make a BEERWEEKS post. Beer…Mmm.
