A Twitter friend (and fellow photographer) will be vacationing in Lago Vista this summer and wanted a list of places to eat and wanted to know what Sandra Bullock owns. @LH: @AsYouWish Japanese, American, TexMex, BBQ. Something different that no other cities would have. &little unique shops too if you don’t mind. So, armed with […]
While my dear sweet great aunt worked most of my life for JCPenney, I hadn’t given it much thought for shopping for myself. Growing up in a small town, it was one of the few shopping options. As a young woman, everything was too “old” looking and didn’t fit me right, anyway. My grandmother still […]

So, instead of treating the concrete the minute she moved out, they were only able to treat the new carpet that would become ours. I’ve researched far more […]
Just moments ago, I realized today’s date. It’s funny what your emotions remember when your brain tries to forget pain. — It’s been a decade. I still miss you very much. Daddy, you are loved. — Now, I know why I woke up with tear-stained cheeks. This post comes to you from atop the 3’x5′ […]
It’s been one party after another for us. Miami played FSU in basket ball (and had a darn good showing!) Our No Kidding! chapter had our annual Chocolate party on Valentine’s weekend. This past weekend was a beer tour at Circle Brewery (owned by a Miami alumnus!) The same day, we attended a Mardi Gras […]
This whole move thing is becoming quite real. The new cat door came in. We tested it, their new stairs, and their new ramp-with-landing that we built. I’ll try to grab some pictures when we get them installed. We sold the washer and dryer to some friends. They have had their house back since 1-Feb, […]
