Dumpster 'Dive of the Month!'

Two nights ago Abby, Austin, Josh and I went for a little midnight rendezvous with the local dumpsters in town. This time of year here in Kent Ohio, millions of things get thrown out because most college student leases are ending tonight, July31st, for their apartments and they can't transport everything that they have. So, in our favor, we are gifted with hundreds and hundreds of quality, barely used items such as furniture, clothing, food, and a myriad of other things. The 'Dive of the Month' is a beautiful $60 bookshelf from Ikea! Check out the find below!

WAHOO!

Washington D.C.

Three weeks ago I visited Washington D.C. with my friends Katie and Lee-Anna. Our original plan was to go to Ocean City, NJ to visit the Ocean City Beach Project (OCBP) but those plans fell through. So what better city to visit than one filled with weeks full of free entertainment and my brother Ben and his wife Morgan! The weekend was very fun! We saw friends of both Katie and Lee-Anna and they both also got to visit with one of our friends from the OCBP. While there we visited several museums including the Holocaust Museum, American Indian Museum, and the Botanical Gardens to name a few. My brother and sister-in-law Morgan work for the William Penn House. That is also where we stayed. It is a Quaker establishment that also acts as a retreat center / hostel in D.C. It's located just 4 blocks behind the Capital building! Its a beautiful old building filled with character and comfy beds. The above pic is of the house. If you are in D.C. and need a quality cheap place to stay I would suggest it!

Purple Potato Salad!

While in D.C. visiting the American Indian Museum we came across this beautiful dish called Potato Salad. But this wasn't your ordinary potato salad. It was made from sweet potatoes and purple potatoes. Below are the two main beautiful ingredients.
