We probably have all been told at least once in our lives to stop playing with our food. I think parents get this phrase passed down from generation to generation. However, the old adage does not apply when your food becomes part of the entertainment. This would be the case if you visit Osaka Asian Restaurant. My husband, Bobby, and I went to the restaurant one Sunday after church this past summer. We met my sister, Randi, and her husband, Shaun there. We were joined by another family of … [Read more...]
Spending Part of the Day at the ‘Night of the Museum’
If this blog is about anything, it is about fun trips, tasty eats and good movies. My husband Bobby and I have started to look for ways we can visit movie locations, and the latest one is "Night of the Museum." The movie, starring Ben Stiller and some museum exhibits, was filmed, in part, in the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, across the street from Central Park and down the street from the building featured in "Ghostbusters." What I really liked about this movie is that … [Read more...]
The Memorials that Help Us Remember 9/11

"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five year mission: to explore strange, new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." I can't believe that a five year mission has stretched into a half century. However, it was 50 years ago today, (September 8, 1966) when the TV series, Star Trek, first aired. It actually only ran for three years, from 1966-1969. Yet, somewhere along the way, it became a cult … [Read more...]
End of Summer Reflections
Today, September 6, might be considered the unofficial end of Summer 2016 -- or beginning of Fall depending on if you think of Labor day as the end of Summer. Phew! I don't know about you, but for me and my husband, Bobby, it has been a whirlwind of a season. I thought I might reflect on things a little, partly because I am tired from the weekend, but mostly because I had such a great summer, I kind of want to re-live it. The Beginning of Summer in May -- It started out quiet enough with … [Read more...]
