Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
It was on a Sunday 4 years ago that the San Diego County area was devastated by the Cedar fire. That one came within 10 miles of where I live. The smoke covered the area for a week and schools were closed the entire time. It was one of those Santa Ana wind mornings where... Continue Reading →
All that matters today - is that it is STILL Jeopardy day! (I apologize in advance to my non-august mom readers as this post will make very little sense, but just rest assured that the gals are all a twitter today and we are so proud of our friend.) I can't believe how well she... Continue Reading →

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same." Carlos Castaneda by FireCrow Yup, in a nutshell, the above quote is The Power of Positive Thinking. Now, this often seems simplistic. Contrived. Trite. But, it also works. Back in high...

Slightly fuzzy pre-game photos. One of the dads is taking some excellent shots at each game and I am trying to go through them tonight and save some good ones. I will post those to my flickr account as I find good ones. So today was the final regular season game. A Must Win if... Continue Reading →
The bird of the weekend for me - really the only truly interesting one I saw - Yellow Crowned Night Heron. One was staring down at us from a tree as we took the Riverwalk Boat Tour in San Antonio.

I got that report from Grumpy's wife since my dad's phone... Continue Reading →
"If you're not laughing, you're not living" by Doggie269 Ah yes. Trying to laugh here. That is about all that is left! Yeah, it's 9:30pm and the shuttle picks me up at 9:15am and I have to work the school drop off line first, but no, I have not packed anything. I've thought about it... Continue Reading →
No quote today. Too tired to look for one! Instead, you get a bird. A common yellowthroat. Seems to me that such a pretty bird should not have the word 'common' in its' name! Since I am working from home today, I have the windows open for the kitties and I heard a different bird... Continue Reading →
The boys began the process of recovering from last week's loss with a solid performance this weekend and a 22-0 victory. With the shutout, they were back to celebrating and ice cream. The defense had an impressive goal line stand when the opposing team had 1st and goal with only 4 yards to go. 4... Continue Reading →
