When I was growing up, my mom would take me shopping to the mall in San Bernardino which was about an hour from where we lived in the Mojave Desert. The two of us would stop by my dad’s business and he’d hand me a $20 bill to spend. It was his way of showing…
Menu Plan Monday ~ September 6, 2010
Click here for more menu ideas! We went to Oklahoma City yesterday after church to attend a show with friends and then spent the night at our favorite hotel, the Skirvin. We just got home a bit ago and then are going out this evening to draft our Fantasy Football teams at our favorite Italian…
Happy Labor Day!
I am currently enjoying breakfast in bed at the Skirvin in OKC. It’s a bit difficult to write much of a blog post on my iPhone so my Memory Lane Monday post will have wait until we get home later today. In the meantime, I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Labor Day.
French Friday – Dreaming of Paris
I just celebrated my 48th birthday and decided that I’m going to start planning for a 50th birthday trip to Paris. This is something I’ve always wanted to do and what better time? I pulled out an old calendar, cut out a picture of the Eiffel Tower and slipped it inside the cover…

Memory Lane Monday – New Orleans
In April of 2006, David and I made our first trip back to New Orleans post-Katrina. I well remember the mix of emotions as our plane touched down at the Louis Armstrong airport. I was so happy to be returning to the city of my soul, especially since I had wondered if that would ever…
