WordPress for Dummies 2: How to Turn a Graphic Into a Widget
If you have read this post, then you know that I am the original WordPress Dummy and am basically just fumbling my way along, figuring things out as I go. One thing I learned recently was how to put a graphic with a link over there on the side of my blog. Now, if you … Continue reading
Touring San Francisco
“The coldest winter I ever saw was the summer I spent in San Francisco.” – Mark Twain I stepped out onto the balcony of our fabulous cruise ship suite on the Disney Wonder that had proven to be not quite up to our expectations, just to confirm what I had checked on my computer. It … Continue reading
Shoes, Glorious Shoes!
I wouldn’t want you to think that I might possibly like shoes, but I have an entire shoe closet. That’s right. A shoe closet. I was just re-watching the second “Sex in the City” movie and I was amused and just a teeny bit smug when Carrie was gloating over her fabulous closet because seriously? … Continue reading
Muir Woods – A Wilderness Right Outside San Francisco
In the middle of the little town of Lahaina on the island of Maui, there is an ancient banyan tree that is massively huge. It has spreading, winding branches that fill the little park where it’s located. It’s quite impressive and was the largest tree we had ever seen. But it could have been gobbled … Continue reading
Irresistible Ireland
We were determined not to be slack-jawed Americans, who stare at the unfamiliar in Ireland in incredible awe – we fail. But this was different. This was incredible. This was a castle. We stood outside the hotel and tried to be cool and calm and not let anyone know that inside we were as giddy … Continue reading

And Now the Negative Side of the Disney Wonder One Bedroom Concierge Suite
The first inkling that our marvelous suite on the Disney Wonder was not going to be all that was when we set sail.

Then came the requisite … Continue reading
First Impressions of Disney Wonder: One Bedroom Concierge Suite
After fabulous, fabulous Vegas, we headed out on a Disney cruise of the Pacific Northwest. We were mostly thrilled to be returning to San Francisco, one of our favorite places, but we also love that coast and were very interested to visit Vancouver for the first time. This same cruise from LA to Vancouver is … Continue reading
The Quite Amazing Viva Elvis by Cirque du Soleil Show
We both leaned forward instinctively, horrified to think the performers in bright super hero costumes were falling to the stage, certain to be hurt, maybe even killed. Then they bounced into the air and landed agilely right back where they has started, only to do it again and again, landing back on the platform and … Continue reading
Pony Up and Find the Perfect Hairstyle
The other night, my husband came home and declared gently (he is a wise man) that it might be nice to see a hairstyle other than a pony tail on my head. Instead of getting annoyed, I sagely nodded my (pony tailed) head and figured I was lucky he was not mentioning the ubiquitous sleeping … Continue reading
