Hey there! If you’ve just come across our site or have been subscribed for awhile, you’ll realize we haven’t posted much lately.

Never Eat Sour Waffles
I moved from Glendale Arizona to Detroit Michigan when I was 18. I started University the fall I moved back. Wayne State University is in the heart of Detroit. It was rather intimidating for me. Considering the traffic I was used to was when one of those big combines was on the road in front…

Cat Fillet
My new used minivan is a 2003 Ford Wind-Star. It was owned previously by an 83-year-old man. It had a little less than 85,000 miles on it and was in pristine condition. We really lucked out in finding and purchasing this van. My husband did all the leg work, and bless him for doing…
I’m an Excellent Counter
We went and visited S for a week in the DC area. An excruciating 12 hour drive (my next blog post). Now, we only get the opportunity to vist with S and Mr C once sometimes twice a year. But such as it is, my kids refer to S as Aunt S and Mr C…

Exercise Anyone?
Alright! The weather finally broke (kind of). Here in Michigan the motto is “Don’t like the weather? Stick around for ten minutes and it’ll change.” So I started walking at 8:30 in the evening with my neighbor on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Then my friend dragged me to Zumba with another couple of mom-friends, and…
Box Full of Memeories
I went to a Garth concert last month. Let me just say… Man! He rocked it! I hope when I get to be 53 years old that I can stay up till 1:30 in the morning jamming like he did! (Who am I kidding! I can hardly do that now unless I consume copious amounts of…
