This was originally posted at another blog of mine (www.motheringtc.com) that I have deleted. I have combined all my blogs into this one for the sake of simplicity in my already busy life. Jen – 6/13/09. This weekend is the 40th annual Buckley Old Engine Show. It started Thursday, August 14th & runs until Sunday, […] Read more…
Results & THE CHRISTMAS CAKE saga
Well, as you can see by the ticker at the bottom, I’m starting to get the hang of how the exchanges work. These were my numbers as of Monday, 12/18. Lucky for me, it’s that lovely time of month when, among other things, I have NO desire to eat anything. Just in time for Christmas […] Read more…
Buckley Old Engine Show
After talking to a friend’s dad about the Old Engine Show (he had been there earlier that day), I got a hankering to go check it out. I’ve heard before that it’s a lot of fun. Al and I had a blast! And I forgot my camera (of course). Al’s been really into railroads after […] Read more…
I LOVE Baseball!
Okay, I love GOING to baseball games. Don’t make me listen or watch on TV, though. Just the whole experience of going to a live baseball game, whether it’s Class D Softball or going to the Traverse City Beach Bums, is a great way to spend a summer evening. We just got a professional baseball […] Read more…
The Dune Climb
Al and I decided to go to Empire this weekend and do the Dune Climb at the Sleeping Bear Dune National Lakeshore. Last time we went (several years ago and 40 lbs heavier), I could only get up to the first crest. I not only made it to the VERY top with a minimum of huffing […] Read more…
Indonesia Trip – Day 2
On our second day in Indonesia, we stayed in Jakarta. Tony had secured us a private driver for the day to take us wherever we wanted to go. I think it was only about 540,000Rup, but we gave him 600,000Rup (about $60). The first thing we did was go to Taman Mini. I LOVED Taman […] Read more…
Indonesia Trip – Transit/Day 1
We’ve flown several airlines over the last few years… Northwest, United, Continental, American, Air France, and China Airlines to name those I remember. I’d have to say that Continental is my favorite domestic airline thus far and that China Airlines was better than Air France. Al might not agree because the flight home was on […] Read more…
Indonesia Trip – preface
Well, after telling everyone at work and various friends about our trip, I realized that it’s really best to start at the beginning and talk about the interesting things I noticed on that day… That being said, there are some large sweeping generalizations that need to be addressed about the trip and traveling in general. […] Read more…
We made it!!!
We made it back from Indonesia! More later, I’m tired… 🙂 Read more…
Bora Bora (con't.)
I’ve never been to a Club Med before, so I’m not sure how to take the whole game-time scheduled-activity thing. I’m betting that in a different environment, it may be more fun, but in paradise it seemed rather silly. Who wants to leave the beach (or bar) to play games with the staff? We avoided […] Read more…
