Happy Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there. And, a special wish for a great day to my Mom! I can’t wait until the family reunion next month. I haven’t really ever wondered how Mothers Day got started before, but for some reason today I googled it and found some interesting history tidbits over […]

Whole Family Going To Grandma’s Birthday

Today, we decided to go ahead take the whole family to my Grandmother’s 90th Birthday parties. We had been contemplating whether just I should go or the whole family should go. When we first started looking at the trip, tickets were running pretty high. I have a couple of tickets I could get on miles, […]

Conservatives Are Happier Than Liberals

Okay, time for another one of my rare political leaning blogs, but I couldn’t ignore this one. As the title says, a recent study by the folks over at Live Science has found that conservatives are generally happier than liberals. Duh? I didn’t need a study to tell me that as its been quite obvious […]

Cinco de Mayo Festival

Today was the annual Cinco de Mayo festival (yes, its only May 3rd) in Sierra Vista. Suzanne and the kids always join their dance studio, Alma Dolores International Dance, for a couple of hours of dancing to entertain the crowd. The weather was perfect, maybe a bit over eighty and sunny. It was a red […]

Grandmother Turns 90 This Year

Just found out today that there is a series of birthday parties planned for my Grandmother who turns 90 this August. Sounds like a great idea to celebrate this wonderful event. Now I just need to figure out how to work out the details of getting there since she lives on the opposite side of […]

Detroit Lions Have Pretty Good Draft With Nice Upside

This past weekend was the NFL Draft. Its the time of year where faithful fans anxiously await to see who their team is going to select to better their chances in the upcoming season. This weekend was no different for me. I believe the Detroit Lions had a pretty good draft. They might have reached […]

No Country For Old Men

Holy Cow, what a bad movie that was. We should have known better being that No Country For Old Men won Best Picture, but still, we gave it a shot because of the long list of stars in the movie. Suzanne has been saying that “her 10 year kid could have written a better ending […]

Sean’s Baseball Season In Full Swing

If its Spring time and we seem busy than usual, it must be baseball season. And it is in full swing. Sean wanted to play with some older and more capable kids this year so he is now playing in a neighboring city instead of Sonoita. When I say neighboring, keep in mind we live […]

Making More Progress On Next Cruise Planning

As we have mentioned before, we have booked our next Cruise, a Transatlantic from Barcelona, Spain to San Juan, Puerto Rico. We continue to make more progress on the planning for this cruise vacation. Being that the cruise departs and returns to ports that are a long ways from our home, we have to add […]

Sleep Number Beds

A while back I mentioned that we were going to be purchasing a new Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed. Our previous mattress had served us well, but was 14 years old. Suzanne and I believed that we also preferred different style mattresses. The Sleep Number Bed seemed like a perfect fit. About four weeks ago, […]
