Tuesday

Thank you for all the birthday wishes yesterday. I had a great day and it was fun to see all the notifications rolling in. The “party” started this weekend as some friends and I drove across the state for some chocolate and shopping. As someone said to me today when I described my plans – “road trips are fun no … click to read more –>

These are my friends

As I was packing for this trip and looking for a ride to the airport, quite a few people questioned why I would fly to Kansas in the middle of winter when I could enjoy the beautiful weather in South Florida.

Zing!

First of all, I hope your weather has been as good as mine this winter. Otherwise, please just enjoy this picture. Secondly, I had the best “dinner” a few nights ago.

I hope you are all enjoying your Thanksgiving with family and friends. I don’t have any family who live near me and most of my friends travel home to be with their loved ones.

Moments of Simonpalooza

At this point, I don’t know if I can say anything about this past weekend that hasn’t already been said (better than I ever could). I’ve been asked before why I take so many pictures. Memories are very important to me. Pictures of the memories give me proof I was there and that I was a part of something. Since … click to read more –>
