The US Open tennis finals were just on with Nadal and Djokovic competing. A fantastic match. Here’s my dad, Freddie Mac, and Dick chillin’ on the couch watching it. Cute! I love how my dad rests his arms on his melly belly. -Jane, Fan of Father, Son-in-Law Bonding.

By Jane on January 27, 2010
Dick LOVES music. He has a huge collection of CDs that started when he was a kid in Germany. Only, all of them were stuck in diaper boxes since our move back to Metropolis and have been there for the last five years. Dick got a wild hair in his butt was inspired to take [...]

Man, do I love watermelon. Oh, and being lazy to spit out seeds, I prefer seedless. I’m so excited that watermelon season has started! I pretty much live off watermelon in the summer. That and corn on the cob! Looks like I tried to stash one under my dress no? (Which you may recognize. [...]

Dick combed Carlton’s hair down to be funny. Thelma and I both agree that he looks like the Thin Man from the Charlie’s Angels Movie. Carlton is four and a half (can’t forget the half or he gets upset) and SUPER PLAYFUL. Such a character.

Making room for the twin beds.
By Jane on December 30, 2010

I love going to garage sales when I can find the time. It’s true. One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. To me, if I can find something I love and need cheaper than if I were to buy it new, it’s even more valuable! It just so happens that Fanny Mae’s neighbor is having [...]

Middle man down! Injury on the job by a machete-potato peeler.
By Jane on October 7, 2009
There are certain hazards that come with the job. It’s just goes with the territory. Today, I sliced off a chunk of my skin peeling potatoes. It’s just the risk one takes when one is feeding one’s family. You don’t even think about it. You just do it. Yet another hazard in the throws of [...]

More pictures of Daddy and son. Dick loves taking naps with the baby. Especially with baby on his chest. Look at the lovely men in my life. Delish!! (Yes, Dick, thank you, thank you. I’m the luckiest woman in the world. Ugh.) Benz will have a most unpleasant and hairy surprise if he tried to [...]

Silly Bandz: The new friendship bracelet? Let’s go back to the old days.
By Jane on October 14, 2010
When I was in middle school, making friendship bracelets were all the rage and I was the queen of making string bracelets. No really. I was. I would spend hours upon hours knotting these colorful bracelets, all the while trying to come up with new patterns and styles to impress the kids at school. I [...]

Coming out of the closet! (My old clothes that is.)
By Jane on January 24, 2010
I went to an art gallery exhibit opening the other day (Story to come out shortly after this one.). I’m still trying to stick to my daily goal of wearing something I haven’t worn in a long time. I got this shirt three-four years ago and I have only worn it two times…until now. I’m [...]

Salade Olivieh: Persian Chicken/Egg/Potato Salad. YUM!
By Jane on September 26, 2009
I know it’s weird to be learning how to cook Persian food from a Vietnamese woman. But, I’ve seen the Persian recipes out there, and there are NO PICTURES! So, for those young Persians who don’t know how to cook or for those who just want to try some Persian yumminess, here is a picture-filled [...]

Dick is in love…with an Antique 1968 Mercedes 250s.
By Jane on December 1, 2010
Dick spots the car of his dreams while we were driving around. It was a beautiful antique 1968 Mercedes 250S. This car is in MINT condition and has only 36,000 miles on it. Unbelieveable! Look at the old school knob to adjust the seat. I’m not sure what the leather looks like underneath the fuzzy blue [...]

Here’s a Valentine’s card that Dick sent me in 1999 when I was living in Detroit. In case you can’t read Dick’s wonderful handwriting: “This is for you & Barfi (our dog). You guys are the best, especially you, only you, always only you. Happy Valentine’s Day.” Yes, he can be quite a sweetie. Hope [...]

Fun with a ’76 Lincoln Continental Mark IV.
By Jane on November 21, 2009
The auction is very skimpy on cars today, which is odd because the lot is usually full. Consequently we don’t have many cars to look at. We take a beautiful Z4 for a spin because I really miss my roadster but it’s dangerous for me to have such a car. I like to bring out the [...]

My great aunt visits from France.
By Jane on August 13, 2010
My great aunt, MAGDA, from my dad’s side lives in South France and was visiting other family in the US so she decided to swing by Metropolis to come see us. The number of visitors we are having this year is insane! But, it’s the best kind of insanity…family! I’m so glad to see her [...]

A grandpa that changes diapers?!?! Freddie Mac, hands-on Grandpa!
By Jane on January 4, 2012
My dad ADORES his grandchildren and he LOVES babies. It’s because babies like to do the same thing as my dad…sleep, chill in bed, eat. My mom thinks it’s really funny because she complains that when Lucy and I were babies, he wasn’t as nearly hands-on as he is now. Of course, I think that [...]

“Tiger” Mom’s article still causing an uproar.
By Jane on January 21, 2011
I came across a great article written by a Chinese/Vietnamese man , Mr. Lac Su, who had “Tigers” for parents. “Tigers” being what Ms. Amy Chua calls herself and her tactics on raising “successful” children. Mr. Su is a psychologist and business executive and despite being seemingly “successful”, explains how years of abuse and strictness affected [...]

And the stitches come out…not as traumatizing this time.

Five days after Thelma’s skating incident and we’re headed back in the ER to have her stitches removed. Look how happy she is. I hope it stays this way….

It is through my own mental anguish and inner turmoil throughout my life that I have always sought to understand my pain and sought to relieve it. I am a firm believer that one can only grow from having experienced hardship or pain. “Many people dream of the hope for success. To me, sucess can [...]
