Summer in Pennsylvania

Hi everyone.
I'm back after not posting for a very long time. I thought I'd post some photos from our trip to the Pennsylvania Grand Canyon, the true grand canyon of our beautiful country, but I'm having problems getting that function to work. So it's just me.
At work, I've been SUPER busy since we're basically two people short on my team alone, and it's just been really hectic lately (which is unfortunate, in this line of work). But I'm loving my work and finding it incredibly challenging and fulfilling. I'll be adding a new role to my job description in August as I pick up the reins of co-facilitating the weekly domestic violence support group. It's the first time I've ever led a group in this way and should be an interesting learning experience.
Darcy, Jamie, and John have been hard at work on the basement renovation with me pitching in a little here and there. It's really coming along, thanks to Darcy's contracting work, and it's very exciting to see. Mom and Dad, we're looking forward to both of you coming up soon. Abby, I don't know if you're planning on coming but it would be great to see you and Patrick, too!
Pete has been hard at work hunting chipmunks and any other rodent-like creatures that wander into the backyard. He's caught one chipmunk already and thankfully hasn't been able to get any more. Of course I'm the one who found that chipmunk when I almost stepped on it while weeding! >:P So gross.
Well that's it for now. I'd love to talk to all of you soon, especially on the weekend. I have very little desire to talk on the phone during the week since I do crisis counseling on the phone a lot of the day, but once the weekend comes, I'm much more relaxed and able to talk.
Love you all,
Elizabeth

charleston, suits and unbearable heat
Over Memorial Day, a couple of us went down to Charleston to Wild Dunes to the beach for a mini-vacation and also to celebrate Abbi's 25th birthday. The weather was perfect and it was a really relaxing trip. We even stopped at South of the Border on the way back and got some nice Mexican-style souvenirs including water toys that were supposed to blow up 600 times their size and ended up being total rip offs.

This evening Patrick and I were running errands and decided to stop in Goodwill to see if they had anything good since it's nearby the grocery store. He picked up a nice looking suit and when we looked inside, it was Christian Dior! Very vintage looking tag but no date or anything so I don't know how old it is. Anyways, we googled Dior suits and new ones retail for about $2,000!! We bought ours for $11. I figured Mom would be proud. :) After dry cleaning I'm guessing our entire purchase will total around $15, bringing our savings to $1,985. Now we just have to figure out where to wear a suit to! (This is not the actual suit but it's a Dior so it's close I guess)
The heat here has been out of control. I went to look at an apartment this after around 3pm and it was 101 degrees according to my car!! At least the store has A/C but it makes going outside miserable. It's only early June so I hope it doesn't get worse or I'm going to hole up in the house and not leave until September.

remembering Bumma
we were served Tab at a show out in California. It immediately brought to mind Bumma and her lipstick stained Tab cans...anyone else remember this?
