Sails at Sunrise

So, whenever warmer weather comes my way it makes me want to go to the beach and go sailing. Someday I would like to be able to own my own ship- nothing to large, just a nice little yacht, but all wooded with large sails, like in the film "Captain Ron"!!
Just a thought...

Last April CEA took us to this farm outside of St. Remy, in the south of France. I just really liked this photo, so I thought I would put it on my blog!

Easter

This past weekend I got to go spend time with my grandpa! It was so relaxing, that is except for the moment we realized we bought cajun turkey breast. Boy, grandma was sure looking down and laughing at us!!! Sherri, Gpa, and I watched Fiddler on the Roof, bought lottery tickets, and looked through old photos. Sunday morning after Easter mass at St. Joe's we went to Dillion's and got doughnuts. Had a great lunch on the farm with Susie, Mickey, Brad, Mandy, Emily, Molly, and Michael!! Then spent the afternoon making sure my car was up to date. Mandy- if you read this- go ahead and send me pics!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!!

Memoirs


I can't believe a whole year ago I was gallivanting around Greece and Slovenja. Sure do miss Eileigh. Luckily, I have good friends here at University, and most of them have studied abroad also, so we can reminisce. Anyways, off to Pillsbury today to tan!

Great Wall of China

Tonight I drove out to I-70 to meet mom, Gi, Diane, Jane and Stephen as they were passing to go to Hays. It was dark already and along the highway I saw the fields being burned, so the soil would get replenished for this years harvest...Anyways- the line of fire in the dark made me think of what the Great Wall of China would look like if the enemy were attacking and they had to light the fire at each fortress along its path!!!

wine keg's

Can't believe that it's been a whole year since we had our wine keg party in France at Jessica and Elena's appartment in the Cloe. Time has really flown. That was the first night Elena drank- and she was crawling across the floor for her 7th glass! Andy made some superb pasta dish which we devowered once he left the room...and Leslie was dancing to Daniel Powter! No need to share our pictures of that evening with others:)

Kevin was home when Catherine and I got back to Jared's so we watched in amazement/fear as he took Zeik out of her cage and gave her some mixed salad, with strawberry yogurt...interesting combination. Then we enjoyed our afternoon by watching the Royal Tennenbaums!!
Later in the day, as I was showering to go back out, the fire alarms went off- not cool!!!

Alisha and I as we think of what to call our room this semester. We're thinking Pitty Party- because we hate when people try to pull those over on you.

unexpected joy

So today as I was walking home from class(80 degrees!!), Kayla and Ariel(AXiD's) were driving by. They stopped and picked me up and since they were on their way to Dara's for slushes got me one too! Don't you just love random times like these with friends?!
