A Day Of Memories
It was a day of sharing memories and creating memories as my niece and I went to the University of Michigan stadium to watch Manchester United play Liverpool FC in the International Champions Cup. Back in the 90s, trips to Ann Arbor to watch the University of Michigan football team were a yearly event and…

The Week In Seven Photos
We’re halfway through summer and this week I felt like I needed some extra rest in order to make it through the second half. I think the slight exhaustion has caused me to feel a little out of sorts and there have been days that I had the strange feeling I was trespassing in my…

A Quiet Place
I often seek out the quiet places, but after watching the movie A Quiet Place recommended by my niece starring Emily Blunt and John Krasinski, I discovered a few things about the necessity of silence to survive in this suspenseful horror film.

The Week In Seven Photos
After hiding indoors due to the heatwaves and World Cup, I felt it was time to catch up on the neighborhood chatter.

The Little Beast
It has been over a month now and Gabby is still stroller bound fighting a foot infection. I’m beginning to think she is enjoying all of this extra attention and thinks that as long as she wears her Minion sock she can continue to go shopping and be carried everywhere. After informing the vet that…

The Week In Seven Photos
Photos this week were taken in a dreamy state after watching the Washington Capitals play so amazing against the Vegas Golden Knights. This post was completed before Game 5 last night and hopefully Friday morning I will be sleeping late after celebrating the Capitals winning the Stanley Cup Championship. If by some chance they lost…

Stanley Cup Final
I‘m always sad to see the NHL season coming to a close, but I’m very excited about the Stanley Cup Final beginning tonight between the Washington Capitals and Vegas Golden Knights. I love the great story surrounding the Golden Knights, who had the worst odds last June at 150-1 to win the 2018 Stanley Cup,…

Mixed Signals
After a few snowstorms last week, there were signs of hope on Friday when things began to melt and by Saturday morning many of lakes were celebrating freedom from the ice. This brief celebration came to a halt Sunday morning when the icy fingers of winter made its return and wearing gloves, a hat and…
