If you follow my Wednesday Scenic Route, then you know it usually takes me through the hubs Flickr page. I love his photos so much, my graphic designer used one of them in the cover art for Relatively Risky. He suggested this photo when I asked him for an idea for today and I fell
It doesn’t matter who is singing the song, or where I am when it comes on. My breath catches and I have to stop and listen. I grew up in Wyoming. When I was little all I knew of New Orleans was some dimly remembered news footage of hurricanes and Mardi Gras. I never expected
On Wishing for a Wormhole Friday, we’re taking a trip back to 1962, well, at least Granite Flats will take you there, if you climb on board for the ride. It airs on BYUTv, but you can watch it online if you click here. What snagged my attention wasn’t just the time frame (though I
Today our scenic route takes us through the Sherwood Forest Faire near Paige, Texas. The hubs made a trip over there to try out his new camera and he found lots of whimsy. And fairies. Lots and lots of fairies. You have to admit there is a certain magical quality about fairies and this one
Yeah, this is a blog about spam. I suspect that most bloggers never plan not to talk about it, but almost everyone eventually gives in and writes a blog about spam. It’s either write about it or cry about it. And I just missed the waaa-mbulance. Don’t get me wrong, without spam I’d never have

The hubs took the scenic route to Sherwood Forest and came back with a slew of fairy pictures. What, you ask? No Robin Hood or Sheriff? I honestly don’t know if they were there, because the hubs hasn’t gotten through all his pictures from the event yet, but sometimes we just need more fairies in
I was watching HGTV (I think it was Sara 101 or something like that) and the host decorated this office with two, chaise lounges. If I had a chaise lounge two feet from my desk, I wouldn’t get much done. I’d be on the chaise lounge reading. When the host moved on from the chaise
Not long after we moved into our house here in Houston, this female cardinal kept trying to move in with us. Every spring, she’d be back beating on the windows. Then one spring she didn’t come back. The hubs says they only live about three years, so I gave thanks and mentally moved on. Then
Our scenic route this week is into the past…. Pier A, Battery Park City Pier A is a Victorian style building that was built between 1884 and 1919 for the Department of Docks and Harbor police. …Among those ceremoniously greeted here and listed on the department’s guestbook were Charles Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, the Queen of
