Mountain Magic Mania

April 29, 2012

They knew what they were doing when they named it Mountain Magic. It was a golf tournament unlike any other! I had fond memories from last year, but being able to experience the fun, challenge and excitement all over again was a real treat. And it was extra special because this year…we came out of [...]

Mountain Magic Reprise

April 25, 2012

Does this look like a pair ready to conquer a golf tournament? Not sure about that, but we’re definitely ready to conquer something. Oh, and I may not have been ready for the first photo.

April 22, 2012

Sometimes in life, you just need to keep calm and eat a cupcake. A strawberry shortcake cupcake from Swirlz, to be exact. And while you’re at it, you may as well see what else they have to offer. Twixie is a good example. Chocolate cake, shortbread cookie, salted caramel buttercream and caramel drizzle. Check all [...]

April 17, 2012

Pork Panacea

April 15, 2012

I was on the lookout for a cure-all this weekend after Saturday morning greeted me with a sore throat. I’m still feeling a bit under the weather tonight (which is saying something, since it’s storming here), but thanks to an elderberry prescription from Dr. Dunner, am now on the mend. One thing I did not [...]

Promises, Promises

April 13, 2012

Source Recently I took an assessment called StrengthsFinder 2.0. It’s a fantastic tool that I would recommend for anyone looking to confirm their most apparent and valuable attributes. None of the 29 themes that the test identifies are better or worse than the others. They are simply me (or you). And a very accurate portrayal [...]

The Nieces Pieces: Egg-stravaganza

April 11, 2012

Thank you for showering my nieces with oohs and ahhs. Bobby and I completely agree with you! Our weekend in Kansas City was full of fun and adventure, but there were also two important events. Up first was my brother-in-law Jim’s 29th birthday, which technically is today (April 11). Happy birthday, Jim! Cara made him [...]
