Birthday

There are few things better than a day off work with nothing planned, and one of them is a birthday off work with nothing planned except dinner with Hubby. He got my engagement ring repaired as a birthday gift. I love my ring. It's a simple diamond solitaire

Happy Birthday Hubby!

Hope it's a good day, I love you!

Visiting Caveland

Met up with Pat and Jodi to go and see Caveland in Festus. The place is for sale on eBay, and it's a house built in a cave. There are many photos on the Caveland website of the building process. This is the outside, from the top of

Starting the year

I only made a couple of resolutions for 2009 and I believe both are do-able goals: * Spin on my new wheel at least twice a week. * Get my karate orange belt. My first ever karate lesson was on November 17th, on December 11th I signed up for five months of
