Waiting…

May 11, 2007 by Elaine

Not too much going on except waiting for the baby to arrive. My last day of work is tomorrow and as most of you know I am not going back to work so I started training my replacement today. It’s kind of crazy to realize that tomorrow’s the last day but after I spent $40…

Wonderful Wicked!

April 21, 2007 by Elaine

Wicked was awesome and the minute the show was over, I just wanted to get back in line, so to speak, like a favorite roller coaster – and go again!! It was absolutely spectacular, from the voices to the sets and costumes! It may have also been so wonderful to me since I have not…

Filed Under: Outings, The B Man

April 16, 2007 by Elaine

I just wanted to put a picture on here of the sweet bouquet I made a few days ago from the flowers and herbs out of my flower beds. Three roses, one iris, some yellow snap draon and some lemon mint (for greenery and scent!) The rose in the center is all bloomed out now…

Easter Fun & Family

April 10, 2007 by Elaine

We made a trip to Austin for this Easter weekend and what a cold weekend it was! It sleeted off and on most of the day on Saturday and my mother enjoyed watching the thermostat go down that entire morning… we couldn’t believe it! We even had to borrow a jacket from Ben’s cousins so…
