Cherry Blossom Festival Time

April 9, 2011

Today’s Washington D.C. Cherry Blossom Festival parade did go on as planned, thanks to the terse last-minute budget agreements made last night. Other sources said it would have gone on anyway. Here is a list of family activities for the festival – which is officially over tomorrow, but the trees don’t know that! They are so gorgeous in full bloom! The family activities can happen any time, too! Next year will be the centennial celebration of the festival in Washington DC. Plans are already in the making for the extra special 2012 event.

There are cherry blossom festivals all over the world, of course, and here is a selection of photos of beautiful photos.

2010 Women’s Conference Main Event is Today

October 26, 2010

We totally enjoyed yesterday’s session of the 2010 Women’s Conference in Long Beach, CA. We didn’t get tickets again (last year we missed out, too) so we are logged in to the White House blog site to get the streaming from the main day of the women’s conference to our conference room at work. You can do so from here. I have enclosed the blog from the White House here: Women’s Conference Live Streaming

I hope you are able to watch at least some of it because it is truly an awesome experience.

We Had Great Fun in Reno Last Weekend!

September 8, 2010

We had a very enjoyable time with friends in Reno this long Labor Day weekend! I will have to get some photos uploaded. The most fun was watching the 4 and 6 year olds discover new toys and books at the house and going on the “long” hike through the fields to the canyon to explore the big rocks. I will try to add the photos this weekend! πŸ™‚

Oops, I forgot my Camera Cord!

May 31, 2010

So much for adding pictures! I left my camera-to-computer cord behind!! Wow! Time is flying by! The Memorial Day weekend is almost at an end! My brain is so wracked I finally tried to jot down everything rattling around in there – ended up with 2 1/2 pages of stuff! No wonder I’m not relaxed and oh-so-ahhhhhh !! At least I worked a few things off the list…… more later! So MUCH is going on!! Hugs!
