Thanks, Everyone!

July 24th, 2010

What a nice birthday! Thanks to everyone for the cards and Facebook messages. It was a happy day – nothing special other than a wonderful dinner at P. F. Changs with my family. That was special enough for me – I really enjoyed that.

Happy Birthday ME!

Another birthday! Where does the time go?

We are going to have a nice dinner at a good asian restaurant tonight. Other than that, I hope it is just a lazy, pleasant day.

Price of Beef

July 16th, 2010

The price of beef has been inching upwards all year. It is getting very hard to afford the good cuts of beef for regular family dinners. I have had to cut back on steaks for just special occasions.

I think it is time to start exploring different ways to cook fish. If you have any favorite recipes, please share!

Nipper

When I was a little girl, we used to take Lee Highway to go around the Northern Virginia suburbs. When we got close to Merrifield, we would always see this huge figure of Nipper, the dog. Nipper was the mascot for RCA records. I loved watching this big dog and the record player from the back seat of my Daddy’s car as we drove by, I don’t believe it is there any more. But it was fun to find this old photo of a childhood landmark.
