We got back from a very fun trip to visit my sister and brother-in-law in Dallas a couple of days ago and I’m finally getting back on the computer.  It’s soooo nice to have Colin on Spring Break this week and I can hardly stand it that the week is almost over. 
We had a lovely […]

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
I was talking to one of my sisters yesterday about Valentine’s Day and how some of our old roommates and single friends dislike it.  They sequestered themselves miserably at home and called the holiday things like “Singles Awareness Day.”  On the other hand, the girls in our family have always liked Valentines Day, […]

I’m always looking for a reason to celebrate, and today I noticed that Google has a special Chinese New Year logo up!  Thanks, Google, for keeping me abreast of the holidays as they arrive. 
I’m going to wear red today in honor of the occasion, and I think I may make Chinese food for dinner (or […]
