I Scream 08 – delayed post

I know – I’ve been so bad about updating things lately.
I feel like I’m still catching up from vacation two weeks ago!
But let me share with you one of my favorite things about Cape Cod.  I love this place so much that I will drive 30 minutes just for the experience:
Four Seas Ice Cream in [...]

Piece #10

10.) I went to Michigan State University.
 
And I am PROUD to be a Spartan!  Growing up in Michigan, I was vaguely aware of the rivalry between University of Michigan (UofM) and Michigan State University (MSU).  I really didn’t pick sides on the matter until I was a student at MSU. 
The deciding factors for me [...]

Recovering from Vacation…

So – yeah! It’s summer!  It took its sweet time, but it finally feels like the warmth is starting to penetrate Michigan.
Of course, I didn’t realize this until I escaped to Cape Cod for a few days.  I loved it – and have so much to share about my great family and friends.  I got to [...]

Number Nine

9.  I have an unnatural fear of raccoons.
It’s one of the few things that really, really scare me.   (That, and dying an old, lonely spinster with 27 cats.  But that’s a whole other post…)
Have you ever heard raccoons fighting?  They used to make these ungodly, demonic noises in the woods behind my house growing up.  [...]

Seaside

cool, salty breezes
stir the dune grasses to sway
and dance in sunlight

The Scenic Route

I was reading a post today on Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. (If you haven’t read her – go. Now. I’ll wait patiently until you get back. Just to warn you, her posts documenting how she met and fell in love with her husband, the Marlboro Man are addictive. It’s outright [...]

I scream for Fried!

Beth and I decided to go South-of-the-Border for our latest I Scream 08 sampling. We split a fried ice cream at Grand Azteca after New Community last Wednesday. (yes, I am a posting slacker, thankyouverymuch).
Yum! I am a huge fan of the stuff. Not only is there Ice cream! But [...]

Numero Ocho

8.) I visit Cape Cod just about every year.
I love vacations! But I guess that’s not too special about me. Everyone loves vacations, right? I just rolled up to my cottage in Cape Cod this morning. This is my third summer in a row here and I. LOVE. IT.
It’s not just [...]

Embracing the crazy

I know that I’ve mentioned my busy schedule here on this blog before. 
It’s a problem I have.  It really is.  I have finally learned to admit it in this last year or so – and isn’t that ½ the solution?
 
I’m not sure if it’s a pride thing. (aka – The world needs me.  These [...]

Feeling like vacation….

Lazy summer days,
time spent doing nothing that’s
productive. Relax!
