v pizza

Perhaps I am overly aware of state shapes because I have been to all 50? Here’s a previous post about Virginia cheese. The v cheese was just as random as this Vermont pizza I had last night. I started cutting and all the sudden:

Vermont pizza

(Not the best photo ever…I had to quick snap so I could gobble it up before it got cold.) It even has Lake Champlain crust on the top left side! Vermont image here.

(DP and LP~ You laughing yet?)

I really don’t look for states in my food. It just happens. If you know me, you know food doesn’t stick around long enough for me or anyone for that matter- to look for shapes in it.

Yummy states of pizza at Belly Timber!

last round of surprises…for now

Ok, so I don’t know if some of these things qualify as surprises or not, but recently started calling the next phase of BLR and things I am updating surprises, so we will just roll with it.

If you’ve been following, you know that:

*We are in our 3rd year here on the Blue Lollipop Road
*We launched BLR Adventures last weekend with a wildy successful outing
*We have been working on a completely new site out to launch in the next couple weeks. I just got the tiniest little sneak peek and almost jumped out of my pants. (FYI that means I was really excited because these jeans are so tight I can barely breathe. Thank you winter and Nutella habit.)
*I remembered that I used to write a lot of TTAA (Things that are awesome) and had forgotten, but have recently brought them back and will make them regular posts.

So the other little surprise I have been brewing up…

One of the best things about my day is the people. Whether I meet and chat with a new person or old friend where I am living, or whether I am on the road in some teeny town in the middle of now where and meet a friendly stranger. Sharing time with people I can laugh with or learn from is hugely important in my day. Posting photos and stories here about people I meet in my travels has always been a favorite of mine and apparently yours too. The two entries that have the most all time hits here are “Meet Jack” and “Meet Willy Robinson.” I like talking to kids and older people like these two gents best because they are so unfiltered. Those are the genuine moments I am looking for.

So?

The tribe has spoken! You all like to read about everyday people and I like to challenge myself to ask complete strangers random questions and if I can take photos of them. (Most people look at me like I’m nuts when I ask them this. Then they warm up once they see I just want their story, not their money.) I’m adding a “People” category here and will be posting fun stories about interesting characters on a regular basis moving forward.

Here’s to meeting the next Jack and Willy.
