Ay Boo- Boo!

Mike and I went on a pic-a-nic! We finally got to bust out the awesome picnic blanket my bestie made for my birthday!

Abby did such a great job a bee came and buzzed around for a minute.

Casablanca

So on Labor Day Mike and I went to Ann Arbor, Michigan to do some shopping and see the town.  It is pretty gorgeous! We drove downtown through the University of Michigan campus, which is ginormous, with awesome old stone buildings.  Mike and I had been talking about how neither of us had ever seen Casablanca, when, BAM, he found that it was playing in a theater in Ann Arbor.  How perfect! They were doing a special showing at the Michigan Theater, right in downtown. We walked in and were so surprised.  Instead of a normal movie theater, it was a beautiful, gilded, wonderful old theater.  This is the ceiling:

Crazy right?!? Here are a couple more pics:

If you look closely in the pic with the stage and screen, you'll see that there is an organist! He was playing music from Casablanca while we waited for it to start, and then he and the organ lowered into the pit as the lights went down.  It was great! Also, we both totally loved Casablanca and think that, barring a few super cheesy moments, it has stood up well to the test of time.  I can't wait for another date night to this theater!

Deee-licious

Mike and I have been in Ohio now for almost two weeks, and something that is hopefully becoming a tradition is Thursday nights at the Perrysburg farmer's market.  I love it! I love that its in the evenings and not crazy early on a Saturday morning, so we actually go. And it goes from March through October, so we'll be able to get whatever is in season there for most of the year. It is on the main street of Perrysburg, which is adorable, and conveniently a block from Mike's office.  I go meet him at his office, we do a loop to see what's there and get our produce for the week.

This is a kind of terrible shot of the market:

It's really hard to get a good shot, but its about two and a half blocks long, on both sides of the street.  Lots to choose from!  So far we've been trying to spread out our purchases and not get everything from just one place.  It is also the perfect place to use the market bag I brought home from Kenya!

Luckily its a big, very strong bag, because we put a lot in it! Here's our haul from last night:
