Because we have somehow found ourselves to be running a car business, our ride changes constantly. It’s awesome because I get to drive all different kinds of cars and figure them out. Keeps my brain working since I have to remember how to release the trunk, how to turn on the windshield wipers, and how [...]

Tulips are one of my most favorite flowers. My awesome neighbors, Ozzy & Sharon Osborne, have the most beautiful tulips! I love how they plant them in bunches. Very appealing.

Impromptu photo shoot while picking up Lucy at the airport for Labor Day.
By Jane on September 21, 2011
I’m so utterly behind on blogging that I’m just now posting our Labor Day weekend pics. This is me, waiting for dear sis to arrive at the airport. Today, I’m donning my Princess Leia hair look. The girls always want to come with me to pick up their Auntie. Somehow we ended up getting there [...]

Next door to the place we had sushi was this cake shop. I don’t bake at all unless you count using Duncan Hines box cakes and Nestle Tollhouse Mini cookies. However, I wish I could make cakes like these.

Dreams of going cross-country with the kids: Premature RV shopping.
By Jane on April 26, 2010
Believe it or not this Jane wants to buy an RV and go across the GREAT USofA with the family on an extended trip. I don’t want to wait until I’m too old to enjoy everything! I wanna do it now, while I can enjoy it with my family! And by extended, I mean more [...]

Swimming with jellyfish and squid.
By Jane on February 28, 2011
While at the Phu Quoc resort, the family decides to go for a swim in the lovely clear waters. Look how cute Queenie looks. Love the old-school bathing suit! The emerald waters are so clear and beautiful! I’m quite jealous. Love this picture of MIA’s parents. Look what my dad spots swimming amongst them…jelly fish! [...]

Most Corvettes scream MID LIFE CRISIS cause most of the time, they’re usually driven by some old guy. I’m not really a fan. Unless, it’s an antique like this one. LOVES IT! -Jane, Fan of Antique Corvettes

We’re on our way to LaLa Land!!
By Jane on December 11, 2009
We’re off to Los Angeles, California, otherwise known as Lala Land. We’re super excited to see my sister, Lucy Lu and Dick’s sister’s family and his Mom for the Holidays. We get through security after having basically stripped down. It’s so ridiculous that we have to take off shoes.

Christmas tree finally up. Let’s hope it stays that way.
By Jane on December 5, 2011
We get home and it’s time to lug the tree into the house. Neither Lucy nor I want to touch the tree cause you know it’s got all that gooey, sticky sap and we don’t want to get our outfits dirty. Yes, we were being girly-girls. Whatevs. Sometimes you have to. Louise cuts the string [...]

How to cut a Pineapple…as painful as it is.
By Jane on August 30, 2010
Occasionally, we will get a craving for pineapples. I prefer FRESH over CANNED (Healthier, no preservatives, not imported from China, no High Fructose Corn Syrup) and this is the season for it. However, cutting a fresh pineapple is a bit of a PAIN. Not too bad, but for someone like me who doesn’t usually like [...]

GOODWILL FINDS: A BMX girl’s bike for Thelma!
By Jane on April 28, 2010
About a week ago, Thelma told me she wanted her next bike to be a BMX. Girlfriend is way FIERCE. She LOVES to bike. After she said, it, I just kinda threw it in the back of my mind thinking it would be a WHILE before she got a BMX! Then, the other day while [...]

THE LADY SLIPPERS Lady Slipper Orchids are one of my favorite varieties of orchid. They are just gorgeous!! They are called Lady Slipper due to the slipper-shape pouches of the flower.

Huge fluffy snowflakes hit Metropolis!
By Jane on January 6, 2011
Out of nowhere and unexpectedly, Metropolis was hit with a HUGE, FLUFFY snow. The girls were so excited since we missed the big snow last year. Snowflakes the size of half-dollar coins were falling down on us like drops from Heaven. Not a great picture but this is the view when you look up. It [...]

Lucy shows me, repeatedly, how “smart” Oscar is.
By Jane on August 16, 2011
Naturally, while Lucy was in town, we went to have us some coffee at the Starbucks. The kids had asked to see if they could come and, after having taken them the day before, I said, “No! No kids today!” Plus, its three times more expensive when I take them and I have to reserve [...]

Dick’s new method of weight lifting.
By Jane on September 30, 2011
Here is my dear husband, using our lovely son to assist him in keeping his arms toned. And although I know that Benz is totally safe in Dick’s hands, this totally makes me nervous. I love that my husband doesn’t take himself seriously and can be stupid silly. Yes, you’re stupid silly. And cute too. [...]

Jane: Seamstress. FAUX fur is FABULOUS.
By Jane on March 22, 2010
As you know, Thelma is big on ice skating. She has another small, local competition coming up. Only this time, Louise has decided to join in on the fun. Since they’re doing this “competition”, I have to find them some ice skating dresses to wear. I bought this simple dress online. Then I purchased a [...]

Craigslist goes politically correct OVERBOARD.
By Jane on August 13, 2010
I was posting an ad on Craiglist for one of our properties that is rented by the room. There’s already one guy living in the house and so I put ” Currently, there is one male who occupies the master bedroom.”. Imagine my surprise when I get the following ERROR message: I can’t use the [...]

Someone has a slight case of the Trucker Crack.
By Jane on March 24, 2010
I’m not sayin’ who, but with hipster jeans and low riders these days, girls be showin’ their asses just as much as da boyz. Showing some occasional crack still beats having your jeans up to your boobs. Snot me, iz someBUTTy else. -Jane, Occassional Victim of Low Rise Jeans. (Still doesn’t mean this is me.)

As I said, while we were working, the girls were playing. Thelma especially loves to swing really high and then jump off. Louise, not so much. She is much more cautious. -Jane, Mother to Swinging/Jumping Girls.

MUSHED AND STRANDED on the Interstate: The first time I ever ran out of gas.
By Jane on January 25, 2011
The first time I ever ran out of gas was 11 years ago when I was living in Toronto. I was on my way to work at the Ford F150 plant and out of nowhere, my car starts to slow down on the QEW (An interstate in Toronto). At the time, I owned a brand [...]
