Johnsonville

Lately I've been really fascinated with the completely abandoned village Johnsonville in East Haddam, Connecticut.
The whole town is in pretty great shape.  I mean obviously the buildings could use some up-keep, but for having no care in over twenty years it's holding up pretty well.  Nothings collapsed so far, that I've discovered.
  I didn't take photographs of the inside of the buildings because the quality from my iphone was awful.  The glare was so bad, through the windows, but it was quite crazy how some of the buildings still had stuff in them.  For example the school room had a chalk board left behind with the name "Claire" written on it, books, and school supplies thrown about.
Old signs were left in the buildings from when the village was open to the public and held tours.

Peanut Butter Apple Dip

Okay I eat this multiple times a week because it's literally so good!  I use Justin's Peanut Butter (vanilla or honey or whatever flavor you want, I've even tried almond butter which works great too), organic Stonyfield plain yogurt, and just a touch of honey!  Than I mix it all up and dip apples in it, and sometimes eat it just with a spoon because that's how good it is.  It's simple, healthy, and taste great!  Literally my go to snack whenever I'm home. I'm trying to make a lifestyle change, the cliche trying to 'get healthier' and be healthier.  I'm not looking so much for weight loss, even though that's an added plus, but what I really want is to finally tone up.  My entire life I've always killed myself with cardio and would wonder why I never looked that great.  Well now I know why, so that's my goal, get healthier and leaner.

Birthday Cakes 4 Free, Nautical Themed Cupcakes

Nothing fancy, but this was a last minute request for the not for profit I volunteer for, Birthday Cakes 4 Free, Middlesex County, Connecticut .  I got this request from a girl's mom who said her daughter wanted a white cake with blue frosting and something nautical themed.  I only had four days, but I think they came out kind of cute. I got almost all my supplies off Amazon Prime.  Everything but the ingredients for the cake and frosting, but Amazon Prime saved me so much time and money and stress because all I had to do was go to my local grocery store instead of also going out of my way looking for craft store supplies, which probably would have left me checking multiple stores, while Amazon had everything in one place with free two day shipping. Anyway, I delivered the cupcakes this morning and the mother who sent in the request was so nice and extremely grateful.  She sent me the sweetest email I just had to screenshot it.  Hope everyone is hav...
