Good Food and Family Fun

As I mentioned before, I LOVE going out and having fun with my family. And I can’t think of a better combination than family and RED LOBSTER. Generic as it is, this is my very FAVORITE place to eat and coincidently, it’s my Dad’s favorite place to eat also. So where did I take my [...]

Oh, The Newfangled Conveniences of Our Times

Today (and this WHOLE ) past week, I am thankful for the internet. When we first moved here, we had to make a choice – either have internet or satellite tv. We couldn’t afford both, so the choice was easy for me; I have to be connected to the web. I need to keep in [...]

Halloween Fun (and an explaination)

Ah, November. The month of my FAVORITE holiday. Thanksgiving is all about being kind, thankful, seeing family and eating good food, and remembering those we love. Now, I love me some Christmas time spirit, don’t get me wrong. Christmas and Thanksgiving are very nearly tied, but it’s Thanksgiving that continues to hold the number one [...]

One of my very first memories [...]

Summer Lovin’

So I guess I have to admit that I’ve been a bloggin slacker. I could blame it on having a kid, but it’s been nearly 5 months since he was born. Or I could blame it on the fact that we have been enlarging our backyard to about 4 times the size in was before [...]

A Birthday Present..

In our home, birthdays are great days to get your favorite breakfast. In fact, looking back at it, the whole day seems to slowly revolve around food. Like homemade french toast with FRENCH bread, at FOUR in the morning (if that’s when you wake up and have to go to work). Then there’s the thoughtfully [...]

“You wanna fight?” “If you insist…”

Yep. We are totally fighting. There’s bloodshed. And tears. And even yelling. But no bloodshed. Mostly because the fights have been on the phone. And there hasn’t been any yelling. Not yet. But there will be, you bet yer butt there will be. Why, you ask? Well, I’ll fill you in really quick…
Back in April, [...]

A Baby Story

Ok, so this blog entry has been about 3 weeks in the making. Every chance I get, I sit down and try to get this story out, but as soon as I get a sentence or two written, something ALWAYS calls me away from the computer. Needless to say, the story might have a few [...]
