I realized that this weekend I am enjoying the benefits of small town life, shhh....don't tell anyone.
Last night we all went to the drive-in movie theater (the only movie theater in town) and while Lilly slept on pillows between us, Jim and I watched Julie and Julia. It was a very enjoyable movie and I loved watching it from my car. The movie totally inspired me, but to do what, I am not sure. It made me wish three things: that my name was Julie; that I had come up with the idea to cook my way through Julia Childs recipes that inspired the film, and that I could cook at all (I mean really cook, not assemble casseroles). Jim and I both agreed that we need to find a passion that both Julie and Julia had. Although, at my current quarter-life crisis I have no idea what that passion is, nor do I have any idea what to do with my life.
After a very late night we woke up and went to a local cafe to eat quiche and scones for breakfast. That made me wish that I owned a fabulous little bakery/eatery in town, or that I could at least make delicious quiche and scones.
Both of these events made me appreciate my small town and inspire me to find a passion.
For today I am going to work on a hat for Lilly, enjoy the sunshine, and make smores in our fire pit tonight. My quest to find my life calling continues, but in the mean time I have plenty to keep me occupied in my small town life.

You can definitely make an amazing quiche- that's an easy one. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one for whom inspiration and feeling a little bit inadequate usually go hand in hand! I haven't seen the movie yet- did Julia have children? If she did, on top of everything else, THEN I'll feel inadequate. Otherwise, I'm giving myself a free-pass for at least the next decade:).
Sounds like a perfect weekend! Can we have s'mores when I come?
