This One's for Miriam . . .

How can I best describe Miriam?

She is witty.
She is pleasant to be around.
She has the ability to see humor in almost every situation.

Miriam has a super husband, a strong family bond, and great cats (even if they do have to be fed in separate rooms!)

Miriam takes calculated risks that benefit her family.
Miriam befriends those around her.
Miriam is a great friend to my great guy.
Miriam has a haircut that ALMOST looks like mine . . .

Miriam deserves "THE PHOTOS".

So, without further ado, Miriam (and the rest of the FANTASTIC ACH team!!) Here is the PROOF! :) LOLOL! (Get ready to "Blow it out", Artie! ) LOLOL

Soybean Sushi and Other Tales

It was inevitable.

Even though even McDonald's has jumped on the healthfood bandwagon, I still avoided the item altogether in my Asian salad.

Not so at Osaka, where Gil took me to celebrate our anniversary.

I am certain that it was the salt that drew me in . . .and I should have known when he wouldn't tell me WHAT it was ~ just to EAT IT! Well, don'tcha know, that warm morsel of fresh vegetable called my name, and I was hooked.

About the third or forth bean pod, I said, rather matter of factly: "These are soybeans, aren't they?"

"Yep."

Sigh.

Why do I get suckered into these spots?!? LOLOL (At least I avoided the Miso soup.)

Here is to another delightful year . . .to my love. You are better than a Hibachi steak in my book! :)

The First Swim Of Summer

The drive of every summer child's heart: the opportunity to SWIM to the heart's content.

Delivering Dell

WOW! A breathtaking view of the Virginia countryside captured my heart as I drove up the long, winding entrance. Beth was ready and waiting for me, with Dell in hand. What a moment! Thrill ran through me, while Dell grudgingly allowed me to hold him. Every bit of his body language suggested he was a little wary of what was about to happen . . .

But all of his apprehension melted away quickly, and soon we became fast friends on the long drive home to Mississippi.

My heart sings. Dell is home! :)
