For some reason, kids just have this inherent need to have pets. They just want to take care of something and call it their own. Like most kids, my kids wanted to be the parents of their own puppy. Fanny Mae had bought an adorable little Pekingnese for herself, so when my mom brought the [...]

I’m not sure how many different pics I can get at Starbucks but I took this yesterday as the rain was rolling in. It just started sprinkling so I had to move tables to take cover. Yes, like a die-hard golfer, I will endure rain. My favorite are thunderstorms with the sun still peeping thru. [...]

Persian, German, English Slow Song: “I can’t breathe.” Beautiful.
By Jane on December 9, 2009
This was a song sent to Dick from his cousin. The song “I can’t breathe” is by a German Band named Bruz where the lead singer is Persian. Actually, I don’t understand the song at all but you won’t need to in order to like the song. It’s a beautiful slow rap ballad with a [...]

Blast to the Past: Speaking of Cousin MIA, we had quite a summer.
By Jane on February 16, 2011
Since I was thinking of MIA because she had sent my kids that great Mind Blowing Science Kit, I was going through my old posts of her and realized, we did quite a bit this summer! 1. We hung out with the fam and I took you to the Country Bar. 2. You left to travel [...]

My Asian, nearly non-existent eye lashes definitely need mascara!
By Jane on December 15, 2010
I’m Asian and we’re not really known for having long eyelashes. Actually, Asians are lucky if they even have an inkling of lashes. Unlike my Persian-mixed daughters who inherited long luscious lashes from her father’s side, I am not as fortunate as they are. Therefore, I need a little assistance from the mascara wand. My [...]

Spring has arrived early for us here in Metropolis so the fam and I decided to take a walk. You know this preggar needs to get her walk on. Okay, I look more pregnant than usual in this pic. I’d rather look pregnant than having a beer belly, like the way I’ve been looking (and [...]

You know how some people have imaginary friends growing up? Well, Thelma has a world called “Stuffed Animal World”. This is where Munck comes from…who she believes to be very real, growing and living with feelings and emotions. Munck is very much part of the family (Ducky as well.).

Potato Crusted Basmati Persian Rice with Saffron.
By Jane on February 21, 2011
Persians love a crispy crust (tadik) when they make their rice. Oftentimes, it is the MOST SOUGHT AFTER part of the rice. Now Persians use Basmati rice, which are long grains of fragrant white rice that don’t stick together like Asian Jasmine rice. Now it’s best to go to your local Middle Eastern or Indian [...]

Our hill has become like a sledding snow resort attraction.
By Jane on January 11, 2011
Dick and I take the girls to go walking behind our house to where all the shops are and to enjoy all this snow. To get there, we always take that hill that is right next to our house. You’ve seen this hill many times before… It’s the one we ride our bikes down and [...]

Not your every day Jeep. Gun included.
By Jane on September 6, 2010
While coming out of the grocery store, I see this in the parking lot. I wonder if they get tickets for not wearing a seat belt. And what’s this? Are you sure that little tie thing is going to be sufficient? Why not just put a sign on it that says TAKE ME. -Jane. Just [...]

I was taking my girls to karate when OUT OF NOWHERE, a bird flies right in front of my car! Now, I’m one of those that swerve and NEARLY KILL MYSELF to avoid hitting an animal but this poor thing didn’t even give me a chance. When I saw it dart out in front of [...]

Thelma’s has been taking ice skating lessons for about two months now. Her coach approached her about doing a competition and Thelma was more than eager to sign up.

For your Manic Monday. The Bangles!!!
By Jane on October 18, 2009
I was singing in the car the other day, showing off my vocal chords to my girls, singing “Just another Manic Monday” by the super-hot all girl band The Bangles. These girls were one of my favorite bands of the 80s. I then decide to look up the video on You Tube for the Thelma [...]

The girls had so much fun on the roof that they begged Dick to take them up on our tree stump. This large oak tree feel down a few years ago when we had a thunderstorm. I was very sad to lose my tree but was super glad that it fell away from my house [...]
