8 years ago today…

Right about now…I was walking down the aisle to marry Walter.   It seems SO long ago, but then, I look through pictures and it seems like just yesterday.  Our wedding was amazing, I wish I could relive it over and over again.  We were married in Pacific Grove, CA at the beautiful St. Mary’s...

The BEST coffee

We’re so lucky to have the absolutely best coffee shop by our house.  Java J’s has the best coffee ever.  I’m by no means a coffee snob, but once you taste good coffee, you can really tell the difference.  In 2001 my husband and I went to Italy, and cappuccino’s are everywhere there.  Every morning we...

Good Things…

I’m a pretty simple person.  I’m not a big fan of makeup, I wear very little on occassion.  Comfort is more important to me than style, although, I try to not look completely dorky.  There are a couple things that I do splurge on.  Hair Care products, lotions, and shower gels are my thing.  For...

Earth Day

Today is Earth Day.  What do you do for our environment? I’m fortunate to live in a city that recycles.  They do our recycling for us.  We throw everything into one large bin, the trash is then taken to the Materials Recovery Station where it is sorted and the garbage is taken to the landfill...

Computer woes, and other ramblings

So last week, my IMAC died.  I hadn’t even had it a year, and don’t use it nearly as often as my laptop.  Thankfully it’s under warranty, and I had everything backed up except my quickbooks for the last couple months, and my husband reminded me, his quicken stuff.  :(  So, I took it into...

Heat wave

The past 2 days have been incredibly warm for this time of year. On the freeway to my parents house this afternoon, the car thermometer read 95 degrees. I’m sure it wasn’t really quite that hot, but it was still very warm. My parents live up in Colfax (Weimar actually but nobody has ever heard...

Tag! I’m it

My fellow photographer and friend,  Sharon Hoyt “tagged” me so… I have to write 10 things about myself that the world doesn’t know, then tag 2 others to do the same.   Here we go!   I played the clarinet for many years in school.  I can also play the piano by ear…some songs, not...
