Stuff is always a good word to use in a title, right?

First, don't forget!!!!!  Dare to DIY on Monday!  It's time to Dare to Be Thankful!  Link up at Shift Ctrl Art on Monday!  Check out great ideas from the past here!  I can't wait to see what you all come up with! I have a plan but no sneak peak because I work better under pressure.  (AKA, I have not started because I'm a horrible procrastinator! So no excuses that you don't have time!) If you're a new blogger, this is a great way to meet other bloggers and grown your blog audience!  We'd love for you to join us!

I think I want to be on vacation for the rest of my life.  I'm sure I'm alone in this.  I'm also full of genius ideas.

Nate, Ike and I spent the past week at Table Rock Lake in Missouri.  It was rough.  (Okay, the 8+ hour drive was pretty painful.  Ike and I were troopers.  I think he did better than I did.)

Happy Monday!  Hope the weekend was a good one.  We had an fantastic garage sale followed by some even better thrifting and then furniture building.  Excellent weekend!

An excellent weekend certainly does help adjusting back to non-vacation life a little easier.  Let's finish up our Maui photos so my mom doesn't yell at me for not sharing them.  I aim to please.  Or something.

We arrived in Maui on Wednesday afternoon.  By the time we got to our condo it was around 5:30 PM.  Also known as 10:30PM Iowa time.  We ate supper in the condo and both went to bed at 7:00PM.  We woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 3:00 AM ready to head to the Haleakala Crater.  We debated doing sunrise at the crater. I read that it was cold and windy and obviously an early start to the day.  We were looking to get away from cold and windy after the longest winter ever.  It was also supposed to be the most amazing sunrise of people's lives.  We decided to suck it up and do it.
