So, I’m addicted to playing anything with Mario on our Wii. My dad gave it to us and we love it.
My hubby loves it a lot. And Daisy wonders why she can’t have her own Mii. I haven’t figured out how to make the Cocker Spaniel ears.
We’re having fun with bowling, tennis and [...]

I love driving by this beautiful sunflower field next to I-80 on my drive home from work.
Last week, I got off the freeway and took a closer look at these beautiful flowers. They looked so happy. It seemed like the blossoms were smiling back at me.

The sunflowers are blooming off the Midway Exit on [...]

8 Gold Medals for the Summer Games. Wowa.
Michael Phelps is too good to be true. Now he’s inspiring swimmers around the country.

For the young pups in the pool, the teen swimmers and the adults who are returning to the sport they love: Rock on!

Today, I caught a new episode of Bourdain’s No Reservations: Tokyo. I slurped on my chicken-flavored instant ramen noodles as Anthony Bourdain ate handmade soba noodles with Chef Morimoto. One big difference, the Tokyo restaurant he was eating at has been making soba noodles since 1789. So yah. I suppose that’s a big difference.

We woke up to a light dusting of snow this morning in Laramie. I’m blogging from the Coral Creek Coffee Company and about to bite into my bagel with veggie cream cheese.
We said good-bye to Kansas yesterday. A cold start to another cross-country road trip. Daisy made herself at home in the back seat. I’m [...]

I still have a wicked headache from my cold. Grrr….
I’ve been babying myself - sleeping in until 10, eating well and watching plenty of TV. Mark has been an angel; taking care of Daisy and me.
And Daisy has been Daisy.
I launched a new Project 365 blog on my birthday. Oral Fixations will have a [...]

OK - I love online lists and games. Mark found one that fits us…sorta: “You may be married to a Filipina if…”. He says I fit about 30% of the things on this list.

I matched-up with several items on this list. [...]
