Christmas Party at Georgie’s

Back in Maryland in the freezing temperatures, John and I get the invitation via Facebook from Georgie: Christmas Party combination birthday party for her granddaughter Louise. “Yay!” I think. “We get an extended Aussie Christmas!” Back in Perth. The present. 108° F . “Ick,” I thought. “Can I even go...

A Superior Engineer

Seems some Japanese researchers were curious why humans need all kinds of gear on their feet to weather the snow, and dogs do not. Read from the Institute for Creation Research today: It turns out that dog paws have tiny blood vessels arranged as counter-current heat exchangers. This way, dogs’...

Rubi in the Snow

Winters in Maryland can be rough, especially if you’re from Wisconsin, because of the lack of snow! So when our first little accumulation happened, Miranda quickly got Rubi and Silas outside but not before telling me to grab the camera for Rubi’s first snow.   When it was over, Rubi...

Christmas Shopping

For as long as I can remember, as a family we would agree to meet in early December at a mall and together go Christmas shopping. Usually it would involve going out to eat and visiting almost every store in the mall. Of late, it’s mostly the women in the...

Baltimore Gas and Electric

Back to the B&A Trail

Today the good weather took Laura and I to the B&A Trail. It seems like forever that we had been there. The trail has about an 8-foot wide paved surface and is in good condition. The total length is 13 miles between Annapolis and Glen Burnie, MD. Once you reach...

Back to Kinder Park

With the nice change of weather in the upper 50’s, Laura and I decided to go to Kinder Park. The fact that it is technically still winter was still there, with snow from our last blizzards still in scattered places around the park… Because of the winter, not much was...

Cabin Fever

After days and days of  so many feet of snow outside, and little melting, you have to just get out anyway. Saturday was one of those days, and we decided to take Silas to the park. There had been a few warmish days, however it was a tad disheartening to...

Blizzard 2009: Next Day

The day after the storm nearly breaks all December records, the sun came out and it was time to dig out. Glen Burnie received 22.5 inches, it’s safe I think to say that Pasadena got close to that. This is our back deck. Enric and Miranda set out to clean...

Blizzard 2009

I don’t think that our weatherman could have predicted this. They started off saying a chance of snow with some accumulation. Then they began talking inches, and pretty soon, some time later, they were talking FEET! Today, it was a BLIZZARD! Enric decided fairly early to get started on cleaning...

March Gives Us Snow

First a question. How come almost every time they have a Global Warming protest, it gets snow? Do you think God is trying to tell them something? Anyway….We waited all winter for a good amount of snow and finally we turn the calendar and March brought us about a foot...

Autumn Snow

The trees still have red leaves on them and the weather paid no mind to the calendar at all, and the snow fell. We were only supposed to get about 2 inches, but by night, I would say closer to 4 fell here in Pasadena. Â Mom said that it...

Hopeless Romantic

I have to admit it! I am a hopeless romantic, but apparently, I passed it on to my son, as I keep sharing things about him and his romantic ventures! One such deed was while he was still dating Miranda, and for Valentines Day, with no money (as students don’t...
