Turbo-pressure washing my porch the other day made it look great, however, it knocked off a little more paint than I wanted off the railing. I haven’t painted it in a few years and it’s been worn by the weather. I like the DISTRESSED look but I also don’t want my railing to rot. So, [...]

Short hair. Long hair. Which do you prefer?
By Jane on November 15, 2010
My girls go back and forth between short and long hair. Usually, it’s summer when they want their hair short. But now, summer is over and the girls are wanting their hair to grow out. Slowly but surely, it’s getting there. Of course, by the time their hair becomes long again, it’ll be summer again. [...]

By Jane on November 6, 2010

Ice Skating fun turns into a trip to the ER. Yes, stitches required.
By Jane on October 30, 2009
As I may have mentioned, Thelma is taking ice skating lessons and cannot get enough of it. She wants to go at every opportunity and likes to get there early so she can maximize ice time. We went for a private lesson today to prepare for a competition that is coming up. She had her [...]

Lowes has this great program for kids every other Saturday…all year round, where the kids can come build something. They hold a “workshop” where the kids can come and play carpenter for a day. It’s like a dream come true for me because if I haven’t mentioned it before, and Lucy is rolling her eyes [...]

Dick gets “new” shoes. Tenant leaves behind a pair of Nike Lebron James 20-5-5.
By Jane on September 1, 2011
We always have “gifts” that the tenants leave behind and it’s usually because they don’t want to move their crap or they just don’t want it anymore. We’ve gotten a stereo, beds, furniture, pots and pans, washer and dryer, etc. While cleaning up the garage of our property, Dick found a pair of men’s tennis [...]

Individual Mommy Time with Thelma.
By Jane on January 22, 2010
Dick and I like to give the girls some one-on-one time and so we’ll split up, each of us taking one of the girls. They like to have that individual attention from us. Of course, I am the photographer and so I have pictures of my time with the girls.

A foggy / sunny Monday Morning.
By Jane on January 18, 2010
I woke up this morning to a lovely fog AND sunshine. It’s a great start to a beautiful Monday. I can only say that though because I don’t have to do the 9-5 like other people. I used to HATE Mondays. THE BACKYARD You know how the first thing you do when you wake up [...]

Giving our guests the bike tour: Movies, Starbucks, Greenway.
By Jane on March 23, 2011
The weather was perfect for biking so we decided to give our guests the bike tour, as we do with many of our guests. Like when Lucy went with Oscar, or when I went biking in my 4-inch heels, or when we went with the cousins around the suburbs or to get some burgers. Luckily, with [...]

No, this Vietnamese Jane does not want to be an Engineer for the rest of her life.
By Jane on February 15, 2010
LIFE IS LIMITLESS Since leaving corporate America and not falling back on my degree and experience as an Engineer, I have found such creativity and freedom in that I’m still figuring out what I want to do “when I grow up”. Life is short. There are so many things that interest me, that I want [...]

Old Asian Drivers. Need I say more.
By Jane on February 23, 2011
Sadly, my parents Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac fall in the same category as those old Asian drivers that people so often get frustrated at. We were going to a new park and they were following us in their car. Except, my mom is driving (She always drives because she gets motion sickness if she [...]

A clean kitchen and good wine is a must.
By Jane on October 12, 2009
Cooking when the kitchen is dirty is just not fun. I just emptied the dishwasher, put away more dirty dishes, cleaned off the counters, have my wine and NOW I’m ready to cook! Anyone else must start off with a clean slate before a new mess is made? -Jane, Must-be-Clean Cook

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 [...]
