Our holiday season 2012
The holidays are winding down. We had a great Christmas, twice. New Year’s Eve has come and gone. Now it is 2013. Hopefully, it’ll be another great year for us. So let’s get caught up on the holidays. Christmas is a quiet, family affair at our house. It’s just Rich, Rick, and I. Oh yeah, […]

End of September already?
Last week, someone said that they would see me at Christmas. I was thinking it was still a ways away. Not! How could it be the end of September already? I just went on vacation (back in May) and we just had the pig roast (back in June). I know, I know. Only an old […]

Sascha 1 and Squirrels 0
That’s the line that Rick gave on his Facebook page about Sascha’s latest adventure. Everyone is aware of her preoccupation with squirrels by now. We were told that if we didn’t give her a job around the house that she would find one for herself. And she did. She patrols for squirrels and other small furry […]

Recap of this week (June 17, 2012)
It was another hot one today. The last few days have been really adding up the heat. I think it’s Thursday evening now before they say it will be better. I like summer and the heat, but I’m really getting worried about what July will bring if it’s in the 90s now. I did voluntarily […]

Vacation Day 14: Leaving for Las Vegas
Yes, Rich did happen to wake up today. Breakfast was at the IHOP attached to the hotel. Rich had a bad experience at an IHOP a long time ago, but it was the only thing close by. I had stuffed French toast, Rick had a bacon omelet, and Rich went for an omelet as well. […]

Vacation Day 7: Walking the Golden Gate Bridge
Yep, Rich woke up yet again today! Today was the first real 60 degree weather since the second day of our trip. The sun was shining down and the wind wasn’t quite so bad today. The plan for today was to walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Well, at least halfway across. Everyone else was […]

Vacation Day 5: Onward to Lake Tahoe
Rich reminded me that he woke up this morning. It was going to be a good day. This morning, we started off on another leg of the adventure called the Zurek Family Vacation. Today, we were heading into Lake Tahoe to look around and then to Placerville for a visit with Rich’s Aunt Fran and […]

Vacation Day 3: WTFwith the WiFi?
Sorry about not getting my post for Day 3 up. The hotel in Park City, UT had a horrible connection. Rich got his newspaper loaded on his Nook by standing in the doorway of the bathroom! It’s hard to image someone having a WiFi that only has one bar of strength. Leaving Cheyenne was cold […]

Scottish Prom
Tonight was Rick’s senior prom. He had asked his girlfriend, Jordyn, to go with him and she said yes. Next step was confirming that she was okay with him wearing his kilt. Turns out, she is part Scottish and loved the idea of the kilt. So I let her borrow my sash and broach to […]

Lazy Sunday around here
I knew keeping a blog would be hard. Unless I’m actively planning or doing something, I don’t think that the rest of my life has much to talk about. So here’s a run down of what’s been happening here. Friday was Rick’s last day of spring break. We don’t normally go anywhere or do anything […]
