My Quiet Place

I hadn't been to the park in almost 10 months, not sure why, guess life has gotten in the way, so I stopped by yesterday.... AHHHHhhhhh Quiet!
It's hard to believe that a major road runs right thru the center of the park and still remains so quiet. I love love love Harris County Precinct 4 Meyer and Collins Parks.

Check out my pictures from yesterday's walk....

We NEED rain- notice the lake is way below level

A bend in the creek shows how low the water level is

Finding My Way in 2012

As we are all excited about the new year and resolutions, I am trying to find my way back. I am looking for a job, no no a career. As I am cruising the Internet this morning about to pounce on employers that will find me as their answer to an opening within their company, I find this photo and want to be HERE and find myself and where I am supposed to go from here.

Where is your dream quiet spot? Do you have a favorite photo that you have found while cruising the web?

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

It has been a busy busy holiday season but Troy and I have have certainly made time for some wine!


Tonight I made Troy homemade chicken picatta. I used the Maggiano's recipe they posted several months on their chef blog. I thought Troy was going to lick the plate; all was gone before I could take a picture.

Troy pulled out a new wine (thank you Rick at Wine Styles!) for dinner. We are drinking 2009 Ramian Chardonnay. Troy is LOVING this butter bomb (me too!). On the front of the tongue we are getting lime and cream. We are also tasting hint of pear, cool clean citrus, long finish and a must have in ANY collection.

Off to finish the bottle...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Our President

It has happened again, a year to the day, I have been laid off from my job. I am somehow more a ease this go round than last year (but ithas only been 4 days). This too shall pass and something better will come SOON!
I don't have much to say other than what is below...

Dear President Obama,

Mr. President, where is this great economy that you keep talking about?



Obama cuts border troops to 300---- Let's see who is laughing after a Drug Lord comes to commit crimes at the White House when the border isn't secure... chron.com
