Weekend Snapshots:Bday Reunion

One of the things I miss about my time in TFA is the way weekends were times for roadtrips and social breaks. So when my roommate invited me to her party, I superwanted to go.

~~~

Actually managed to make progress on my essay midterm on my trip out there. Successful work!

~~~

At the liquor store. Oh, there's a free wine tasting? Nice timing.

~~~

Long wait for dinner. Go to boutique next door to wait. In the ~25 minutes I managed to buy 2 dresses and 1 shirt. Color Me Red has a superfun line of knit dresses, but I can't find much info about 'em online.

~~~

Pumpkin curry served in a pumpkin. I think all pumpkin should be prepared this way.


Dessert that included sweet sticky rice and a hot custard. No idea how to make it, but loved it!

~~~

Hot pumpkin cocktail. I guess I'll allow some pumpkin to be prepared this way.

~~~

One beauty of our particular TFA experience is that it doesn't take many people coming to have a decent reunion. Two other people roadtripping out. Some local friends joining up. Ended up having about a third of a corps year together. Including people I hadn't seen since I left. Reunions are happy.

Working at fun coffeeshop while sipping an amazing Chai Tea. And catching up with my classmate who moved away.

Pedal pub party!


I loved seeing other people's reactions.

Please note the driver is taking our photo.

We rode past a wedding party 3 times while they were taking photos. The last time, their photographer started photographing us. I hope we wind up in their wedding album.

Bars and music and late night breakfast at the 24-hour diner. I got in trouble for trying to close the refrigerator door. Just want to help them lower their electric bill.

~~~

Breakfast with college friend. Complete with another college person walking into our cafe. He'd never been in there before. I'm never in town. And yet, there you have it.

~~~

Adorable kids in the row in front of me on my way back home. Singing my song from Thursday. Practicing math problems. Taking naps. Clapping when the baby across the aisle stopped crying. Pointing out every farm they noticed.

~~~

Getting my midterm complete (if blah) and turned in!

~~~

Chatting with my seatmate. Getting her on Ravelry. Showing off ALL my pictures from the weekend. And getting a ride home from her parents at the end of the ride.
