Yesterday was a long day. I mean like really long. Quinn and I did a 12-hour marathon tour of Disney beginning with the Magic Kingdom, hopping over to Epcot and then finishing our night back at the Magic Kingdom. We had fun even though the unrelenting sun began to make me feel like I was … Continue reading Haunted Disney

Some Girls
"In the sweet old country Where I come from Nobody ever works Nothing ever gets done." There was a summer a long time ago, in the mythical (to some) town where I grew up, when it seemed that the Rolling Stones' album "Some Girls" was in constant airplay. It didn't seem possible that so many … Continue reading Some Girls

This whole soccer thing? I … Continue reading World Cup recap – bonding over balls and beer

No one needs anything, other than the hummingbird who just cruised … Continue reading Morning thoughts

Our new puppy, Jeter, has been part of the family for a few months now and I have to admit I am quite taken with him. The early weeks were challenging as I sacrificed my sleep to housetrain a puppy who suffered from an ultra sensitive digestive system. Those cold winter nights, with me sleeping … Continue reading (Wo)man’s best friend
