Night and Day
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008Today has been abnormal and off-kilter, but not in a bad way. I woke up at 4:30am to the sound of car doors outside our house as two of our three daughters headed off on a road trip to Las Vegas (along with one fiancee and one friend). Daughter number two remained at home and, […]
Monday, Monday
Monday, July 28th, 2008After having had a fun weekend of barbecuing and a train ride in Virginia City, work was the last thing I felt like doing this morning…especially since our e-mail server was switched over the weekend. As we suspected, our computer network did some funky things today and I was forced to spend a majority of […]
On the Day that You Were Born
Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008My darling hubby’s birthday is tomorrow and I’m sending out my best wishes a little early.
Party on!
You Say It’s Your Birthday
Friday, July 4th, 2008Happy Birthday to the United States and to all those firecracker babies who celebrate July 4th as the day they made their appearance in the world (you know who you are!). Have a great day everyone and remember to enjoy those American traditions: baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and fireworks.
I hope you all have a […]
Summertime
Sunday, June 22nd, 2008We’re now officially in the summer season and the temperatures are already heading up into the 80s on a regular basis. This is the perfect weather to head to the beach and relax in the sun for about ten minutes (I’m a pale-skinned blonde of Irish ancestry so even that may cause a sunburn). This […]
Happy Father’s Day
Sunday, June 15th, 2008I’d like to wish my wonderful hubby a fantastic Father’s Day…as well as a happy day to all the other great fathers out there.
Saturday in the Park
Saturday, June 14th, 2008I think it was the 4th of July…
Or Flag Day, actually. Today is the 231st anniversary of the adoption of the United States flag - and today is also the 233rd birthday of the United States Army. This is a good time to think about the men and women in our various military branches who […]
Come Saturday Morning
Saturday, June 7th, 2008At the moment, life is pretty good. I’ve just had a relaxing week off and I’m getting over having been sick for a couple weeks so the world is looking bright and cheerful again. On Monday, I’ll be mostly ready to head back to the office to face the real world once again. I’m sad […]
North and South
Tuesday, February 19th, 2008This past holiday weekend, two of my daughters, one future son-in-law, and I traveled down to Southern California to visit Knott’s Berry Farm…and I had the best time I’ve had in a long while. I’m not saying that I don’t have a good life and pretty much enjoy myself on a daily basis, but […]
January 20, 1986
Sunday, January 20th, 2008The United Kingdom and France announced plans to build the Channel Tunnel (Chunnel) and the United States celebrated the first Martin Luther King Day. Our family remembers the date for another reason: we welcomed the second of our three daughters at 9:47pm that evening.Happy Birthday, sweetie.
