Copy Cat

Yes, I am a copy cat. Adriann bought a darling black seatbelt purse several years ago. I have always thought it was great. So recently, I researched the bags and found a Harvey's store in Orange County. I bought a red one, and my friend Irene bought a yellow one. I love it.



So then, I go to Utah and Adriann is making darling accessory flowers for your hair, purse, belt, etc. So she made me a gorgeous flower for my purse and many for my hair. Yes, again I copied her. What a great daughter. When I was young, I hated it when my sisters would copy me. Just ask them (not some of my better days). So thank you Adriann. Isn't my purse darling?-- and yes that is a very cute flower in my hair--not something growing out of my head like my husband suggested.

Man with Black

As the previous post states, my husband has just purchased a new car (performance vehicle). Since he seems to have a thing with black, he wanted a picture with all his black toys. So here we have it--except for the boat that is only partially black so I decided that it didn't count.

PERFORMANCE

My husband and I have been discussing the possibility of his getting a new car. He has had his Mercedes SUV for almost eight years (a record for him). We decided that since his equipment will now fit in a trunk, we could get a nice sedan instead of another gas hogging SUV, for his work and to travel in. I thought it sounded very logical, sensible, and cost efficient. I forgot about one little thing--PERFORMANCE. Performance is the priority for any "man" car. And guess what?? Performance and saving money don't EVER go together. What was I thinking? Needless to say, we bought "PERFORMANCE"--so now we have a new sedan but that doesn't get great gas mileage but can go from zero to who knows what in a very few seconds. So-- we won't be saving any money--but he will be enjoying the ride.

Moose obsession continues

Yes, my obsession is continuing. After a trip to the cabin--where I purchased Moose pj's, a moose tapestry wall hanging, and found moose tracks right outside our door. I also hung a moose shower curtain, a moose picture from the internet, and moose name plaques for Natasha and Rocky. I saw a lot more moose items in the stores in West Yellowstone than I have seen in past years. I think everyone is following my Moose trend.
The picture is the moose track we saw outside the cabin. It can be verified as real by the moose books I bought showing what a typical moose print looks like. OK- I am obsessed.

Lost in Hawaii

Hawaii is a small island. You can't really get lost--because if you just keep going you will circle around and end up where you want to be- in theory. So technically we had no lost travelers-just long circlers. What an adventure.

Aloha

Despite earthquakes, tsunami warnings, jelly fish invasions, and lost travelers--we had a great time in Hawaii. It was probably too much about the eating- maccadamia nut pancakes, coconut shrimp, macadamia nut chocolate pie, and wonderful Hawaiian burgers. But the sisters did all snorkle- a first for Dixie, La Rae and Sandra. What a great vacation.

Fooled by the Sun

I recently returned from a great trip to upstate New York to visit my grandchildren. I enjoy getting outside during the day, but it is very cold there. I would see the sun come out, get excited, bundle up, and head outside--only to be hit with the bitter-cold air. Why does the sun fool me like that? You would think that I would learn that bright does not mean warm. That sun is pretty tricky if you ask me.
