We decided to hire a town car to drive us to and from San Francisco when departing and arriving to and from London. We decided the extra expense outweighed the cost of leaving our car at the airport for over two weeks, in addition to the fear that our car could always get broken into… Read More >>
I’m finally getting around to posting some of my vacation photos! It’s been a while in the making since as soon as we got back, I had wedding season start. I thought I’d start with answering the biggest question I’ve been asked, ‘were you there for the royal wedding?!’ Yes and no. We were in… Read More >>

Happy Valentines Day 2011, and to another year with my hubby. I love growing old with this man, and he always surprises me with the biggest gifts.

It’s been almost 10 years now since I first had melanoma and I’m thankful I passed my exam. One more year cancer free is a blessing, and I continue to count them each… Read More >>
We had our first book club meeting and it was a huge success! Eight out of ten of us girls were able to make it to the meeting. Our first book was a doozie! It was Cleopatra A Life by Stacy Schiff. This is a non-fiction, best seller and the hardest book I have ever… Read More >>
