Memory Lane Monday takes us back to 1992. My hubby and I were in the relatively early dating days. I suppose I should make sure you know that my hubby and I never actually lived in the same town until after we’d gotten married. We dated for almost 4 years – all long-distance. We talked [...]

I love the smell of Bull Farts in the morning! Could you guess what it means?

I seriously hoped that part of the noises I heard in my van on the way to Texas were truly JUST IN MY HEAD… because there were certainly times I was STRESSING a wee bit (heavy traffic, chattering girls, lots of sudden braking and … do NOT even get me started on the spaghetti roads!) [...]

We drove Thursday from Austin to just north of Dallas and spent the night. My hubby had been up since shortly after 3 am to get to the airport on time for his flight to Austin, so needless to say – he was pretty exhausted. Friday we were back on the road by 7:45am and [...]

Today, my hubby arrives in Austin around noon and we’ll be heading home shortly thereafter. We’ve had a fabulous time but holy moly… I miss my hubby. And my dogs. And my own computer. Thanks to Shannon and Madison for being great hosts all week! I love you gals! Catch ya’ll once I’m home! Goodbye [...]

The first thing I noticed when we pulled up in the driveway here was this tree: It looks like a face in profile to me. Do you see that? I’ve got this thing for faces…. I see them everywhere, in all sorts of inanimate objects. Sort of the way my friend Michelle sees *hearts* and [...]

Monday arrived with sort of loose plans to go shopping… in no hurry and on no set schedule. As we were eating breakfast – the plans changed a little. Shannon somehow managed to swallow her temporary crown (and although I assured her she’d find it again later… hehehe) she quickly got on the phone with [...]

Sunday was a beautiful day…. full of laughter and friendship, puzzles and swimming, tea party lunches and Jane Austen. It’s fabulous that after all this time of Shannon and I being friends – both of us hoping and praying that our daughters would find friendship as well – to actually watch that come to fruition. [...]

Why? I’m dying to know….

I have arrived!!! Hallelujah! I got three words for ya… LONG ARSE DRIVE! We stayed just outside of Dallas last night and drove the rest of the way today… it was a good trip (read: the girls didn’t kill each other) with some minor events along the way that I will share with you later. [...]
