Mount Rushmore vs. Mother Nature

Our road trip, while exhausting, was a lot of fun.  One of the places we did make a point to stop and spend some time at during our travels was Mount Rushmore.  You can’t speed through South Dakota and not stop, right?  We were a little trepidatious as we drove up the mountain for the breathtaking…

It’s Not the Heat, It’s the Humidity

Hard to believe that it’s already the last Friday of May.  Summer is right around the corner – usually Memorial Day weekend seems to be the kickoff to that, even though the official first day of summer isn’t until June 20th.  I’m OK with it starting now, except for the heat and humidity already running…

I still haven’t quite gotten used to the powers that be stealing that hour in the day.  I have a hypothesis about the time change and how it seems to be kicking our butts more so than it used to.  Because they made losing that hour longer by a month or more. Taking away the…

Non-School Snow Day and School Non-Fun

I guess I need to clarify for the benefit of Mother Nature that the ‘good’ snow I need to complete my champagne making needs to be just snow, not followed by freezing rain then warm rain.  Ahem.  We did get 4-6 inches of snow on Saturday, much to Princess Nagger’s mutual delight and chagrin –…
