Making a Paper Bag Sexy

I had a laugh this week when I heard that Playboy was doing a spread on "The Girls of Olive Garden".

My husband jokingly said, "What's next, The Girls of McDonalds?"

Ha! I guess they already did the girls of McDonalds in 2004. Too funny. I guess with a little imagination we can make even a paperbag sexy.

The Rainy Season

Like in many cities weather is always a favorite topic for newscasters, especially on a slow news day. Even with Angelina and Brad having twins today the big news around the Pheonix area is THE MONSOON! It has arrived.



In most states it would simply be considered rain but here because the rain is so rare and comes all at one time it is called the Monsoon. It's basically our rainy season. What's cool about rain in Arizona is that you can see it in the distance. It might be pouring one mile away and dry as a bone where you are at. We love rain here because it is so rare. It cleans the air and gets a new crop of tumbleweeds growing. I've noticed the birds seem to really like it too.


Just like when it snows int he mid-west, drivers cannot handle the change in road conditions and everyone freaks out because the roads are wet.


In the rural areas flooding can be an issue especially if it rains during rush hour.
Have a safe week and enjoy the rain!

From the Streets of Phoenix


Wow. This was a house that I saw the other day in Phoenix. Again - Wow. Please note that the car also has the same shades of green.

Sunbeam Saturday

What a great way to spend a Saturday. Catching some rays, keeping an eye on my humans. Life is good.

Strawberry Love



Don't they look like strawberry hearts!

Our new grocery store has a sale this week on strawberries. 10 packs for $10. I have big plans for these berries.



I have sliced sugared and frozen some for later ...



I am thinking strawberry french toast, strawberry smoothies, dipped strawberries.......
I love summer fruit.
