Easter day on the West coast!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

A fitting song for the day of the resurrection! (Song of the day credit goes to Dad Leach)

SPRING?!?!

Random Pictures!

Our icicles off the side of our house:

We are attempting to start our garden this year from seeds. Here is the first round!! :)

The little dirt clots grow so quickly when you add water:

Shaw doing his stuff:

Our romantic Valentine's day adventure: Wine and Cheese (plus an up-close on our new table that I love dearly).

I hope everyone is doing wonderfully!

Maureen

Traveling via food... Gastronomy!

Well we are trying to throw all of our extra money at debt...

thus we have no money to travel the world.

Stupid debt.

So instead we went to Malaysia last night with a fantastic multi layered curry with naan bread.

We have left france for a little while but we shall revisit soon... o how we love the french!

Gastronomically speaking of course ;)

This weekend we made a quick trip to a little Italian Pizzeria with homemade pizza dough italian style and homemade pizza sauce.

We shall visit Argentina quite soon! Yeah Gauchos!

Perhaps another Asian tour through Thailand and China next week?

Ah when you are this rich the possibilities are endless no? eh? Well perhaps in honor of the olympics being over we will visit Canada and eat some young goose...

or a stampede of Moose!

Blood

Well, I tried to give blood. Again. And I was rejected due to low iron count. Again.

This makes me very sad.

I am very passionate about giving blood because of my sister Rose. So many people donated their blood to help save her.

We should do the same to help others, if possible.

Just thought I would share my feelings/frustrations. Stupid Iron!

Dining Room Table!

Here is our new Dining Room table! :) This is the table I fell in love with at Nebraska Furniture Mart, but we decided to wait and save up the cash for it. Then SHAW FOUND IN ON CRAIGS LIST almost BRAND NEW about 10 minutes away from where my parents live. SO CHEAP in comparison. This family bought it 4 months ago and practically never sat at it. IT IS SO NICE TO FINALLY HAVE A DINING ROOM TABLE! :) Now, more than 2 people can sit at our table comfortably. What a blessing!

Attack of the Prairie Dogs... and the Raccoon Returns!

For some weird reason Maureen and Shaw happened to find themselves in Cabelas. As we were walking around we stumbled upon a prairie dog town... Tessa will be familiar with these wretched creatures!

I hope this was not too traumatic for you Tess!

Also, Shaw and this guy had it out... again.
