Lucky Dorito

Remember the other day when I blogged about combining an old Singer sewing machine legs with the table top from a child-sized table? Well, I had to do something with the matching Singer legs. Right?
This is where Mr. Lucky comes in.
He very graciously offered to build me a tabletop. Ok, so there might [...]

Junior – Senior Prom 1985
You can tell by the big hair that this is from the mid-80’s huh? I am not in this photograph because I graduated in 1984 but…. that cutie pie on the far right is none other than my darling husband, Mr. Lucky. Just in front of him, in the white dress [...]

My husband is a wonderful man, warm and caring – and he is an incredible Dad to our girls. There have been times since my own Dad passed away that I’ve watched him interact with our daughters and ended up with tears pouring from my eyes. The relationship he has with our girls is as [...]

We came.

We saw.

We conquered.
And now….
we head home (with over 1200 photos).

There are many things in life that I tend to take for granted…. I expect the light to come on when I flip the switch, the food inside the refrigerator to be cold, and the water to get hot in the shower (eventually). Those are relatively simple things – all dependent on electricity and my [...]

My husband, (the incomparable Mr. Lucky Dorito) and I share February as our birthday months. Today, that sweet man of mine celebrates his 42nd birthday.

At first glance,  I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking at…. the treasure was well hidden:

But when I peeled back the *hay*, underneath were some serious YUMMMIES:

Can you say DIVINE?

Mmmmm, mmmmm, good.
Then…..
Midmorning [...]

Mr. Lucky and I have been married for over fifteen years and that entire time, we’ve lived at least 2 hours from our nearest family members. Over the years, my MIL and my sister Lena have visited at different times – others have come too, but not as often. (My mom came when both of [...]

While out Christmas shopping, Mr. Lucky and I found a wonderful soft and snugly-feeling blanket that reminded us both of my magic sleeping blankie. It was charcoal grey and bigger than mine. We ooh’ed and ahh’ed and then we both walked away from it. An aisle or two later, I decided to go back for [...]

I am bursting with pride.
After a long three years of working on nights and weekends, after full days of clinical practice (and being a full time dad and husband)  – my husband has finally completed the program for his Doctorate of Physical Therapy through Regis University.
I just don’t even have the words to share with [...]
