Still Mad

Once again it has been a while since I have written.  I checked in and the last time I wrote I was mad about politics and I guess months later I am still mad. Not quite sure how to change that.  No one seems to be doing anything about it. I didn’t come to write a “I’m mad about politics post.” I came to write about the year 2020 and how we have finally have reached the “future.”  Well, to me anyway.  

2020 anything when I was little was the future and now that I am here I am amazed I have almost lived a half decade! I can’t wrap my head around that but it’s true, I have lived for a while even though I don’t feel so grown up in my head.  Grown up is my grandparents but even they have all passed away.  My grandmother was 97 last year when her heart gave out and my father's father passed away after an unsuccessful heart surgery to try and fix his heart.  Having them pass did make me sad that I am getting closer to being alone.  

Don’t get me wrong, I have people but as you get older those people pass away and that can be sort of a sad thought if you go there. Anyhoo, 2020 is the future.  It’s kind of a scary one with all that is going on in the world and I hope we come out of it okay but it still boggles the mind how people’s minds are all different.  How we all think different things and ultimately, how we don’t compromise. 

In the year 2020, I thought we have all learned the great humanity lesson and be working together traveling in space like Star Trek. But we have a long way to go and I wonder if I will live to see all the people coming together to be the human race.  Hum. The future.

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 ...

My Favorite Gourmet Trucks

As of last night, I have now tried 18 food trucks! Only 60 more to go! My friends, Krueger and Kristy joined me at 55 Degree Wine in Atwar Village to try the always busy Grilled Cheese Truck! I have run into the truck a few times now but something has always prevented me from trying their food. Mostly the really, really long lines!! This time the hour wait wasn't so bad with two girls to gossip with. By the time we got to the front we were ready to execute our food plan. Kristy took lead and placed an order for 3 sandwiches (the brie, the mac-n-cheese and the rib meat) plus the dessert sandwich and some tator tots!!! I was a bit bummed that they didn't have the sandwich I went for, the Harvest sandwich but the 3 sandwiches we got more than made up for everything. I was glad to try this truck with 2 girls because we split the sandiches in 3rds which was awesome because I got to try a variety of their sandwiches. Now I must add the Grilled Cheese Truck to my list of fa...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...
