I guess this is my third time going to Caversham Wildlife Park. Each time John takes me, it's a happy event. I love this place, it's just that special. Rainbow lorikeets. Found in forests of north and east Australia, introduced in the Perth area, I was quite taken with them. Especially when they became so playful. John enjoys watching me with the birds I think. They just make me light up. :) This one was quite taken with himself, his ... Read More

Did your parents listen to Paul Harvey? Mine always did... Paul Harvey Aurandt (1918–2009), better known as Paul Harvey, was America’s National Commentator. His listening audience was estimated, at its highest, to be around 24 million people a week. “Paul Harvey News was carried on 1,200 radio stations, 400 Armed Forces Network stations and 300 newspapers. His broadcasts and newspaper columns have been reprinted in the Congressional Record more than those of any other commentator.” If I were the Devil, by Paul ... Read More

This is priceless. Funny. Yet, too true. We’re going to be gifted with a healthcare plan we are forced to purchase, and fined if we don’t, which puportedly covers at least 10 million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it, passed by a congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a president who smokes, with funding ... Read More

Or at least they should. This video lets Obama contradict Obama. It's not trick clips taken out of context, it points out the plain truth on how this administration flipped and flopped on all of the pledges and promises made.   Here are promises broken on health care alone: Talking about his health care law, President Obama has said, “If you misrepresent what’s in this plan, we will call you out.” In keeping with that spirit, below is a list of Obamacare’s top five ... Read More

  / end sarcasm. President Obama once called the war in Afghanistan the “good war." As if the war in Afghanistan were morally better somehow. Actually, some people believe we're spending billions of dollars to back up Afghanistan’s one percent. Tell me again, HOW did he get that Nobel Peace Prize? Can he give it back? Today on Fox News, I learned from Louie Gohmert the staggering truth that 70% more troops have been killed and 84% have been wounded in the Afghan war ... Read More

Since I tease (and complain) to John regarding his bachelor pad, I thought it only fair to point out a few features I like. Given that your every day automatic ice maker usually breaks (like ours at home), I thought John's ice tray was pretty neat. Video showing how it works: I also liked that John's ironing board had a nifty place to put your hot iron between ironing his shirts. ... Read More

My dad loved recording with his reel to reel tape recorder. One of the things he liked to tape was me. Here we are together singing, "(I'm in Love With You), Honey." I was about 4 years old. I couldn't find much information on this song, like who originally recorded it or anything. I did learn that it was sung once on the Judy Garland show, which Dad was a big Judy Garland fan. Animoto is great for slide shows, but the free ... Read More

I don't like to nitpick. I sure have fumbled over my own words a few times, or got facts wrong. But this blunder of Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter is a bit scary. At the dedication for the new Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in Washington, D.C. on Friday, the civil rights leader’s daughter made an interesting mistake regarding Abraham Lincoln. According to her, Lincoln is best known for signing the Declaration of Independence. “But as I close, I close with the recognition that ... Read More

I am sometimes slow to download content from my phone to my computer, so recently, 2 months AFTER John was here, I downloaded and watched this video of Rubí on John's lap. She was quite fascinated with his whiskers. (John was very much on vacation). Oh, Rubí, I like them too! ... Read More

High gas prices under Bush - BAD. High prices under Obama - A Blessing in disguise. Or so they say. When Obama was elected, gas prices were $1.87. Remember those days? I do. It was almost actually FUN to fill up the car and go on a day trip. Watch the video to see how the dems react to high gas prices under Bush, and their totally different reaction under Obama. Their hypocrisy on this issue knows no bounds. And you know something else? If Bush had ... Read More

One of the most memorable parts of our last trip to Spain was a visit to Montserrat with Marta and Pepe. Montserrat is a mountain top monastery in Catalonia, Spain. Situated atop an unusual rock mountain, it is very popular among Catalans, and Catholic pilgrims come from far and wide to see the Black Madonna. The monastery is Catalonia's most important religious retreat and groups of young people from Barcelona and all over Catalonia make overnight hikes at least once in their ... Read More

While in Australia, we stopped by Yallingup Beach. It was breath-taking. I finally put a few photos of this wonderful place >> HERE Yallingup is a coastal township positioned on a hill overlooking the stunning Yallingup Beach. The coastline here is dramatic, as jagged rocks and high cliff faces are met by a haze of sea spray from the swell below. Yallingup Beach, Smiths Beach and Injidup Beach all offer some of the finest surf breaks in the world. One of ... Read More

From Melissa Clouthier at Liberty Pundits: Before you get all righteous and tell me why I’m being excessively cavalier with security, a few thoughts: 1. The perimeter of an airport is not secure. Any determined terrorist could bring a vehicle into the airport with a bomb and kill hundreds, if not thousands of people. 2. The airport itself is not secure. At some security points inside the airport there are hundreds of people. A determined terrorist could bring a suitcase bomb and detonate ... Read More

While going over our home movies, I found this clip I thought would work well for a small video tour of Baltimore's Aquarium. It truly is a wonderful aquarium, but the video only shows a small part of it. Since this was created in 1992, they've added so much to the place, like an Australian section! The National Aquarium in Baltimore is a public aquarium located at 501 E Pratt St. in the Inner Harbor area of Baltimore, Maryland, USA. It was ... Read More

For weeks and months I tried to establish a bedtime for Miquel. He wouldn't have it. He busted out of his crib (literally), he tried everything he could. He wouldn't even THINK of sleeping until he got to watch the late night talk show starring Arsenio Hall. Finally I had to give up and let him watch the show with me. Even though I would have loved to have some peace and quiet time, often, it became "our time" together. We'd ... Read More
