Miquel vs. Playstation My son Miquel is quite an athlete. Ever since I can remember, he could pick up, kick, smash, toss, any ball, paddle, racquet, bat, and Frisbee and do it with God given natural abilities. He always looked like one of those “naturals’ you hear spoke of. He...
Recently I blogged on my magical backyard and posted photos of its treasures low to the ground. I was amiss in showing one of the treasures, high in the sky. A special tree. One that always conjured up stories between my friend Lisa and I. It’s built kind of odd...
My cousing Tanya keeps sending me cute emails. This one is not only very ‘cute’ its so true! For those who are from Baltimore, still live there, have traveled there, and/or plan to travel through there in the future…. BALTIMORE ROAD RULES First, you must learn to pronounce the city...
Have I mentioned Maryland weather in this blog before?? I think I have. 🙂 We have a saying here on the east coast, “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity!” So when the heat actually does climb, things get dangerous around here. As you can see by the chart, if...
Some of us have to work on a Sunday… ….. I really would rather like to be in the sun by the pool, half asleep. 🙂 1. America – Tin Man.mp3 2. Andrews Sisters – Oh Johnny! Oh Johnny! Oh!.mp3 3. Aretha Franklin – Until You Come Back to Me...
In my years while in the skinning community, one of the many favorite pasttimes in the forums was to “show off your desktop” and there the skinners would should off their latest jazzed up, completely skinned and fully customized look. Often, someone being ‘smart’ wouldn’t send in their skinned desktop,...
Ok, blame Laura for this one too, but it made me laugh, so it can’t be bad!  BARBARA B is for Bouncy A is for Amazing R is for Rebellious B is for Bubbly A is for Artistic R is for Rebellious A is for Alert What Does Your...
Offensive!Here in the US, more and more its considered OFFENSIVE to have the Ten Commandments displayed, in fact its banned, and they are working to ban the Pledge of Allegiance, too. Something I remember doing each day before school. Truly there is nothing offensive about either. But if those two...
I’ve spent hours with my son Enric playing and building things with his legos. So it was so wonderful when I received a certain email from my cousin Tanya with pics of this Lego contruction of a church…
Do you remember your first kiss? Do you remember with who? After more than a few people expressed surprise, shock, some even horror when I mentioned that at Enric and Miranda’s wedding ceremony, that was indeed their first kiss. I can’t say I am any better than anyone else, even...
Wedding over, with the bride and groom heading out to the car and the crowd blowing bubbles, we were not done with our marathon yet. We had one more church we had to get “in time” to. We had to go non stop from Wisconsin to Maryland, and in a...
“An old memory” that was the subject line from an email from my dearest and most long time friend ever, Myrna. I couldn’t imagine what it was going to be, except perhaps, something had happened to trigger a memory of times together so many years ago. Her dad was the...
We had a very sweet July 4th. The weather was sunny and great, the pool water was not too cold, and my sister and her husband came (fixed the bathroom fixtures, which was very nice!) and we had a cook out; all the usual, grilled barbecue chicken, hamburgers, corn on...
MIT is doing some research on blogging and you can take part. If you have a blog, click on the button to the left to be counted. They ask nothing truly personal, but the more that do the survey, the more accurate is the information.
The next day was another struggle to get the the church on time for the actual wedding. We were blessed with SLEEP and a nice hotel room and soon it was off to Enric and Miranda’s wedding. I have to tell you, it was the sweetest wedding I have ever...
Barely on time for the rehearsal dinner, we were whisked to Waukesha as the water tower so boldly let us know to the Griffiths house for a quick meeting of the family and friends and a chance to change for the rehearsal dinner and for the church afterwards. At the...
