a hiking kind of saturday

Today on our mission to stay more active, Greg and I journeyed to Kent to check out the new hike and bike trail that just opened in the last couple of weeks. The trail runs along the Cuyahoga River, and there’s a pretty steep path down to the main trail. A great deal of the…

A Day In the Gardens

We enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon touring the grounds and gardens of Stan Hywet today. The iris and peonies were in bloom. Click here to view the set of pictures, or click here to view them in a slide show.

a holiday weekend treat

Greg and I celebrated the start of the long holiday weekend last night with pizza and beeritas on the patio. A few years ago, I put the beerita recipe on my blog. I thought that perhaps now would be a great time for a re-introduction. My good friend Michele discovered this tasty concoction at a…

the great flood of 2009

Last night, I put a final load of laundry in the washing machine. Ironically, a load of towels. I headed off to bed while Greg, thankfully, stayed downstairs and watched tv. Around 11 pm, Greg woke me up and told me that we had a little problem. Evidently, the washing machine got stuck on the…

three tickets to the orchid show

Greg, Megan and I traveled up to Cleveland this afternoon to see the Orchid Show at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens. This is the second trip in a month for Greg and I. Today we became members. We only have to visit three more times this year for it to pay for its self. That’s very…

a very sweet thank you

It’s been a busy week. I’m in the middle, as of today, of an 11 days in a row stretch at work. The good news…I will have the next two weekends, yes I said two, off. Hopefully Greg and I will get up to the orchid exhibit at the Cleveland Botanical Gardens next weekend. In…

happy birthday to greg

    The Gregster celebrated the 37th anniversary of his birth yesterday. We ran errands earlier in the day then joined a small group of friends at Dewey’s Pizza in Cleveland Heights. Dewey’s was the first pizza that Greg and I shared when we started dating when he lived in Cincy. It’s some damn good…

super sunday

Greg and I had a really great day today. We’ve been in dire need of more tropical surroundings so we headed up to the Cleveland Botanical Gardens Glasshouse today. It was positively refreshing and as Greg said, it recharged our souls. It’s been a brutal winter. Also, this visit was my first real test for…

baked

Continuing with the theme that this is definitely not a food blog, I made some treats this evening to take to work tomorrow. I baked Orange Almond Blueberry Muffins from a cookbook I mentioned earlier in the year. I had to taste one before taking them tomorrow. Quality control…you know. Greg and I split it,…

feta salsa

Happy Saturday everyone! I actually have a Saturday off work, and it’s been delightful. Greg and I went to the movies and saw the Academy Award nominated Slumdog Millionaire. It was really good. Greg has decided that he would like to become a Bollywood dancer. We’ll see how that turns out. We’ve been invited to…
