Happy Monday, everyone. How was your 4th of July? I don't think I've eaten so much since Christmas, but for that reason and others it really felt like a holiday this year. I'm going to drink a lot of water and eat some salad with lettuce and fresh veg this week, as opposed to <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2006/11/not-your-mamas-coleslaw/">this kind of salad</a> (which I can highly recommend from recent experience).<br />

My in-laws fly in from <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=vancouver+bc&hl=en&prmd=ivnsm&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=kg4OTv-yFKXh0QGMkOGhDg&ved=0CIIBELAE&biw=1024&bih=667">Vancouver </a>tonight and we've planned the weekend all around <a href="http://www.woodberrykitchen.com/menu">food</a>, <a href="http://www.avam.org/">museums</a>, and <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=clipper+mill+pool&hl=en&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=6g4OTv7hBMzq0QH366SaDg&ved=0CCcQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=667">pool time</a>. My father-in-law turns 65 on the 4th, so we're planning an all-American "picnic style" lunch (per his request). Naturally, the only place I consulted for delicious summer food was <a href="http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/07/slinging-slaws-summer-salads/">here</a>. </div><br />
Take care, eat well, and enjoy yourselves. xo<br />

The call of this day: the call to love. There is always someone, something, some place in our lives who need our love and our support, our time and our company, our own life and blood- although sometimes it feels we can somehow live and exist in our isolated hideaways that we trick ourselves into believing as own our lives. But by acknowledging and practicing a very real, very present love, I am reminded just how deep and strong these bonds extend between us; the unending, boundless amount of love that exists all around us, freely and openly, that holds us and sustains us, if we will just reach for it and give ourselves to this love, reach for it and extend this love to others.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We had such a great weekend in Seattle and Orcas Island, I only wish it could have lasted about 18 more days...</div><br />
The weather was typical: cool, partly cloudy with sunny patches, misty, breezy, fresh and clean. Although it's summer and I know Seattleites are desperate for sun and warmer temperatures, the break from the heat in B-more was soothing, refreshing and just what I needed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I felt so lucky to have been able to see my parents and some great friends, to not waste a moment/potential meal by enjoying some of my very favorite Seattle restaurants, and to be part of C & V's special day on Orcas Island (what an awesome wedding it was!). We had so much fun laughing with friends and being reminded of the incredible beauty and life that exists in the Northwest. I can't help but miss living there, but am also so thankful for the adventure and change that living across the country has brought. As it's said, part of me never really knew what I was missing until I left. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For now, it's back to work and back to life at home in Baltimore. Guess I'll just have to bring everyone from Seattle to me!

I just spent the weekend with my lovely friend Meg who is 6 months pregnant. She braved a cross-country flight and the 90+ degree heat of B-more to come visit, so needless to say I am thankful and honored for her visit- the last time I'll see her before she's a mom, whoa. We celebrated the first day of her 3rd trimester by eating copious amounts of ice cream right out of the container.<br />

I can't wait to wake up to a cool, misty San Juan morning, to smell the salty air and the green forests, to dip my toes in the icy waters of the Puget Sound, and to spend some time away from B-more and be surrounded by good friends. Plus, our hotel in Seattle is right next to one of my favorite <a href="http://www.caffeladro.com/">places</a>.<br />
<br />
I love the Northwest, but I hope this isn't our only summer trip. I'm feeling the need to go somewhere I've never been, eat food I've never tried and be exposed to a new place- a source for inspiration, perhaps. <a href="http://tomdouglas.com/">This</a> will suffice in the meantime, don't get me wrong.<br />
