Alamo Stadium/Alamo Convocation Center – Renovation Photos
In March of 2013, I made my first visit to Alamo Stadium as I was interested in the renovation of that historic football stadium and the adjoining Alamo Convocation Center (the gymnasium). What motivated me to do this? Well, the week before, I watched a 30 for 30 ESPN Film called, “Small Potatoes: Who Killed…
Firsts – Snowflakes, Northern Lights, and Walking on the Mississippi River
Last Sunday, it was cold. So cold and cloudy. With precipitation. Add that up, and that afternoon, I saw something flying through the air and realized it was a snowflake! A few more snowflakes arrived. I sat on the couch and just watched as snowflakes flew downward. It was very surreal and pretty, and this…
Beds Are Not Burning
In July, Niko declared his current King bed not comfortable anymore and he was really struggling in the evenings to go to sleep. So, I gave him my Queen bed and took his uncomfortable King bed. For me, it was a no brainer swap as his sleep is the most important in the house. That…
Return of the Spider (Alex Cross, #34) – by James Patterson
After I read James Patterson by James Patterson, I became a fan and devoured all the Alex Cross, Women’s Murder Club, and Michael Bennett books. So, yeah Alex Cross was my first. Back in 2022, is when I read, Along Came a Spider (the first book in the series). When I saw this one, Return…
Heartland: A Forgotten Place, an Impossible Dream, and the Miracle of Larry Bird
I got this from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Before I begin, I will tell you that when I was 13 years old in 1990, Larry Bird was my favorite player in the NBA. Don’t know why, when I had my hometown San Antonio Spurs to cheer for. A…
Halloween 2025 – No Snow Yet
Up until about a month ago, Niko wasn’t even thinking about what to be for Halloween. But, then, he watched KPop Demon Hunters, and he wanted to be Jinu as a Demon! Fine with us. Nina found his hat online and made the robe herself. She used makeup on Niko and drew the demon markers…
Judy Blume: A Life – by Mark Oppenheimer
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Now, before I begin, I do need to inform you that although I knew who she was when I was younger, I don’t remember reading any of her books. I did read part of one of the Fudge books…
John Candy: A Life in Comedy – by Paul Myers
I read Searching for Candy by Tracey J. Morgan in 2022, so I was already familiar with Candy’s life, Reading another book about his life wouldn’t hurt me, so I was on-board and eager. And, I even took some notes while I read it for this review, unlike in 2022 when I just read it….
Minnesota Winter
In June, we moved from one of the hottest places in the USA to one of the coldest places in the USA! We are ready for snow, as we have lots of warm clothes and continue to buy more. We got a TORO snow blower delivered last Wednesday and I turned it on yesterday, and…
