Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Imagine (May 2009)

Still have the poster I got after attending this exhibit while at a library conference in Montreal in 2009.

Saturday Snap – Surprise Visitors From The Future???

Well, from New Zealand.  But I think that’s a day ahead, no? We knew Shea’s cousin, her NZ husband and three girls were in Canada.  But after a long visit during their last trip to Canada two years ago, we weren’t sure if we’d see them this trip or not. So imagine our surprise when […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Home Again (June 2010)

Secular Sunday – Peacock Feathers – Regular and Albino

Is a peacock’s feathers proof of evolution or evidence of God’s perfection?  Or are they just really cool to see in person and out in the open (well, one of them anyhow!)

Saturday Snap – Storm’s A Brewing

Dementia is a “disease of omission” which means doctors have to basically rule out everything else that can present like dementia before they diagnose […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Should I Tip In USD or Local Currency While In Mexico?

So I’m just going to re-post the entire thing (with the slightly changed title that this really applies for tourists in Mexico in […]

Saturday Snap – Meeting of the Minds?

Had a really nice visit with my mom before Shea and I leave for Mexico (twice in one winter?!?  What???) tomorrow.  Off to Puerto Vallarta for a week and it’s a long story but we got a good deal and have been thinking a lot about how all four of our parents quit traveling earlier […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Cuba Cuties (March 2011, Jan 2016)

So fortunate to have had multiple trips with both sets of grandparents – our wedding in Mexico and Dominican Republic with all four of them, Cuba separately with each of them different years and various other locations as well – Mexico, Hawaii, etc. Hard to believe this was 10 years ago… And this was 15 […]
