Illinois (for the majority of my life) California (for only a few months of my life) Washington (for about 10 years) Texas (almost 2 1/2 years now) Of those places, Washington has been my favorite.

Seeing Texas
One museum at a time. The girls and I very much enjoy visiting museums. However, we tend to find a favorite and then go back time and time again. Not there is anything wrong with doing that, but we are missing out on learning opportunities and gaining new experiences by not exploring other museums. So,Continue reading “Seeing Texas”
Plans Change
We have had a lot of plans for our future and as is true for most of us in life, those plans sometimes need to change. One thing our move to Texas has made me realize, is that I need to let go of some of those things I really had hoped to do in life.Continue reading “Plans Change”
Merry Christmas, Wicked Weather
Guess we’re in Texas now :-0 Our first Christmas in Texas was really quite nice. The girls were excited Christmas morning to discover gifts under our little tree. Of course it meant more stuff in our small space that have no home, but I’ve managed to find places to put some things and today I’m offContinue reading “Merry Christmas, Wicked Weather”

Back to a Family of Four
On Saturday morning, hubby took FS1 and FS2 to their new foster home. To say it was an emotional day would be a gross understatement. FS1 was in tears as the enormity of what was happening and the fact that mom was crying, began to sink in. From the day we learned we would beContinue reading “Back to a Family of Four”

Souvenirs
We recently returned from a trip to Dallas where we visited family, did some shopping and went boating. We had a wonderful time, but the souvenirs we brought home SUCK! Instead of picking up magnets, post cards or coffee mugs we picked up a flu bug. Unfortunately, it was spreading during our trip. In fact, weContinue reading “Souvenirs”
