We started our day with a visit to the Cairo Museum of Antiquities. Our faithful driver, Abod, was at the hotel exactly at 10am as we had requested. The ride to the museum was entertainment in and of itself. We all watched in fascination as the traffic on a super highway started, stopped and shifted […]
You just can’t keep us contained on our own blog. We’ve been asked to guest blog on a wonderful site called Insignificant at best. Read about how we each view the end of summer.
The day I left for Cairo, Egypt is the day I realized what the most horrifying words in the English Language are: Ladies and Gentlemen it appears…… We got to Nashville with time to spare. I was worried about taking Paul (David’s father) through security since he fell last year, shattered his shoulder and had […]
There’s a rule in my house that nobody but me seems to follow: all permanent markers are to be kept in the drawer and are only for adult use. Having stepped on more than my share of crayons, colored pencils and other writing instruments, I laid down the law that anything capable of leaving a […]
There are so many things I absolutely adore about David. He brings me coffee every morning in bed when he wakes me up. I can’t announce that I will be doing a project around the house the next day because David will get up early to make sure he gets the project done before he […]

September 20th will find David and me packing our suitcases and my in-laws into the car to head for Cairo! And I don’t mean Cairo, Illinois either, I mean Cairo, Egypt! David (who is a closet travel agent) has spent the last 9 months painstakingly researching hotels, cruise ships, tourist sites and private guides for […]
This past weekend, as everyone knows, marked the 10th anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks. On Sunday, I spent time talking with my daughter and answering her questions about the images she had seen on TV and the things she had been hearing the last few days leading up to the weekend. As we […]
Every person has a super skill. David’s is being able to walk directly to any item in any Wal-Mart in the country. Usually he is making a Geiger counter noise and therefore people think it is his “special” skill. Remembering birthdays is not one of my super skills. My grandmother used to say that the […]
We were asked to do a guest blog. So there’s no escaping the Two Loons. We’re starting to spread. Check out our guest blog called The Privacy Act. We have very different takes on how much privacy a mom needs in the bathroom. Thank you to Tracy at Book Room Reviews for being brave enough […]
