Jaxon's First Disney Experience

I've been lucky enough to experience each of my nephews' and one niece's first Disney World/Land visits. We took Clayton to Walt DisneyWorld, then we took Will to Walt Disney World and later Disneyland, then with Lila to Disneyland and now, my youngest nephew, Jaxon has had his first Disney experience. For Christmas, YaYa and NoNo treated the family to two days at Disneyland! We even got to stay at Disney's Paradise Pier which we had never stayed at before. We ran into Pluto and it was so cute to see Jaxon mosey on up to see him. He had the biggest smile on his face. He and Penny had fun eating popcorn. I think between the two of them I spent $24 dollars on 6 tubs of popcorn! Well, us adults helped too! Clayton, hubby and I got to go to CarsLand and ride the very popular Radiator Springs Racers. By staying in the hotel we got to enter the park an hour early so we took advantage and headed to CarsLand. It still took us about 45 minutes to get through the line but it was worth it! It was a very fun ride that zoomed all over the place! We had breakfast at Flo's V8 cafe one day and Neil ordered room service one evening. We managed to get fast passes for World of Color which I had never seen before. It was "Frozen" themed and so of course, it was even more amazing. I tried my first gigantic Turkey Leg and Chimichunga. Both of which were good but so glad I had helpers because the portions were soooo huge! Penny and Jaxon had a great time riding King Triton's carousel. What is so great about Disney is you can go a million times and it's always a different experience.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Buffalo Wild Wings

When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...

The Lost Art of Letter Writing

This week I was the recepient of two postcards. In the age of e-mailing and blogging this is a rare occurrrance. It's not that people don't write anymore it's just they are doing it in different forms and I think in less personal forms. It's kinda sad when you think about it. For me, there is nothing better then getting a hand written letter in the mail because it means someone was specifically thinking about you. Writing a letter these days takes a lot of effort when GMail is so near. I mean a person has to pick out stationary (if they even have any on hand), find time to sit down and compose a letter (and who has a spare half hour these days?), find or buy a stamp and actually walk the letter to the mailbox. With all this effort, no wonder people email these days! My girlfriend Becky and I joke that the United States Postal Service has become "Snail Mail." Most times before a letter gets to us these days we already know the information inside ...
