We took a long weekend to Las Vegas as a kind of early birthday for me since my birthday weekend will be busy with other things. Arrived Wednesday afternoon, went shopping a bit Thursday and tried Sickies Garage for lunch we had spotted previously. We had very bad for you food that tasted pretty good … Continue reading Summer Concert Series Continues

Summer Concerts are Back!
Three concerts in the bag so far and they have all been absolutely epic. All bands are from my teen/early 20's years of clubs, fond memories with my brother and friends having fun. These are all bands that I loved back in the 80's/90's and never got to see live... Until Now! Each had me … Continue reading Summer Concerts are Back!

Road Trip Plans!
Yes! We are planning our first road trip since moving to Utah, thanks to a cousin and her husband wanting to team up and check off a bucket list destination with us.

I have bookmarks from most of the places we traveled to while living in Europe - and one from Japan. I will organize this … Continue reading On A Positive Note
Japanese Friendship Garden
Went for a walk around the Japanese Friendship Garden at Balboa Park yesterday. It was my first time going through it though I have been to Balboa quite a lot over the years. I was disappointed by some and enjoyed other bits. The Bonsai tree exhibit was fantastic, the koi ponds and water features were … Continue reading Japanese Friendship Garden
2021 Begins
Well it's almost the end of January so what has happened: My husband has submitted his final thesis and is waiting to hear on his master's degree. This will be the end of his formal education and he is so looking forward to not being in school anymore. It has been a long run, I'm … Continue reading 2021 Begins
Getting Back Into It
The last two and a half months have been interesting. With returning to America we knew there would be a lot we would be upgrading, replacing and adding to our lives. So, we saved for it and at this point I think we are about finished and have managed to remain debt free. While overseas … Continue reading Getting Back Into It
