Cajun Vacation: Day 1 and Day 2 Drive, Drive, Drive
Vacation came early this year. Rick had his spring break start on March 4. I decided that March might be a great time to go and check out Louisiana. As long as I was paying, Rick was up for joining us. Sure, why not. Besides, his 22nd birthday would be during that week. It’ll be […]

Stink, stank, stunk
Saturday night is quiet. Just me and my hubby hanging out enjoying a little quiet time together. About 10 o’clock, Sascha needs to go out for the evening. We talk about going to bed soon. Sascha wants to go and stretch her legs around the yard. I’m sure she will be some squatting and depositing […]

Big Sky Vacation Day 1: Through the land of cheese haus
Luckily, the alarm went off this morning. Otherwise, I would have slept through the time to leave. Sascha finished the job by demanding to go out and look for squirrels. I got moving and took my shower. From there, it was time to finish packing. Rich got moving, too. Wow, even Rick got up. Just […]

Two lane blacktop (and more)
On Tuesday morning, I received a call that the paving company would be here at noon on Wednesday to tear up the old driveway and put down a new one. Oh My Gosh! The old driveway was in bad shape where it was cracked and the bed had fallen down. We had water draining into […]

Happy Mother’s Day
Actually, my Mother’s Day was all weekend. I started on Saturday by sleeping in. Rich got up with Sascha to put her out, but that was just his excuse to go fishing. It was a beautiful morning and he had made bait the night before. He was ready for this. I woke up to no […]

Derby Party 2014
This year’s Derby celebration was going to be very scaled back. There was no fresh Zurekbrau available due to the effects of the polar vortex. It was just never warm enough out there to brew beer! With freezing temps, it was hard to be exposed, standing on cold concrete, and trying to use water without […]

Smoky Mountains: Day 2 Adventure Awaits
So as predicted, we slept in. But only a little. Sascha can’t seem to make it past 6:30 to go out. It’s not because she needs to go to the bathroom. She is wasting daylight if she is not out there guarding her yard from the much dreaded squirrel population. As soon as it is […]

Day 9 We’re not in Kansas anymore?
We made it home. We were in no hurry again this morning. It’s vacation, right? Our last day of lazy mornings and no need to be anywhere soon. I started out in the passenger seat. I wanted one good day to brown my right arm. Since I do a lot of the driving, my left […]

Saschi Sayings
I keep thinking of these and just never get them written down. Here are some new ones: Mom is not a very good anchor. When I see a squirrel I think I can get, I tend to drag her down the street with me. Didn’t she get the memo to just let go of the […]

Home Sweet Home: Day 4
Sunday morning was our last day in downtown Chicago. We decided to go back to Yolk since was so delicious the first time. It was full with a 15 minutes wait. No problem. I forgot to mention the man we had to pass each morning on our way to the restaurant. He was an older […]
