With tears in my eyes, I listened to Star Spangled Banner. Question:Why? Answer: Things to do: Take the midterm. 2. Workout. 3. Cook. 4. Watch my son’s swim meet.

This is very, very awkward and embarrassing. I missed my flight from JFK to PDX. I wish I had solid reasons: my previous connection was delayed thus creating a myriad of missing flights, or there were technical or weather related problems, but no.

After a super, long, exhausting drive( due to Thanksgiving traffic), we finally made it! It was worth it! We stayed in Ramada Inn. It was a great decision.

It was full of all characters. People … Continue reading Vancouver -VeryCoolVer
Living in a small town, we need reminder of other big cities. It’s so easy to flow with a small town life and not realize a world outside.

Space needles has a moving glass floor. … Continue reading Seattle
Although, we didn’t get the Summer temperatures, we got a lot of sunshine ( no complains, well except that driving east bound in the morning with the sun making it impossible to see). As I came out of the tutoring lab at my local community college, I totally felt in love. It was magnificent! The sky was a shade of gray.

I am by no means a photographer. But, if you are at Sunset Beach, Oregon, pictures are all that can take your heart away. The water is so cold, atleast for old peeps like me. Kids rock on! (Check out how majestically the crow is enjoying the day!) Continue reading Pic is worth 1000 words…
