Thelma and Louise without the excitement of Brad Pitt

Went for a drive yesterday with a friend. The morning started as any good morning should, with strong coffee and a decadent Krispy Kreme donut (or ten).

My friend had some books she wanted to sell at Bookmans so we hit all three in Tucson. Wow. I had never been there before. What a treat.

This place is amazing. They sell new and used books, CD's, games, jewelry and decorative items. So fun. The place is very organized with a system for dropping off books that they may purchase from you. You can either be paid in cash or a little more for in-store credit.

I was on the hunt for some used copies of the Steig Larsson trilogy. I found two out of three of the books I was looking for at the last stop.

We hit a couple of thrift stores and ended the day with a beautiful drive home with some pretty clouds compliments of mother nature. A great way to spend a day indeed.

Domestic Divas

I'm still digesting my fabulous family reunion. I will post some photos soon. We had 380 adults and probably 100 children attend. It was overwhelming. I have been reminiscing about my childhood and family all month.

There was a lot of photo sharing from the old days. I thought I would share a couple of photos of some of the ladies in my life.

The black and white photo was taken in preparation for my parents wedding. We have a large family tradition of cooking in groups for special family occasions. The mainstays have always been cabbage rolls and pierogi. Only two of the women in this photo are currently living.

The color photo shows two of my Aunts again.

These photos make me so happy. I really miss these women.
