Grapevine Texas
Snapped this with my BlackBerry. I was surprised at how it turned out. I like the “Grapevine Texas” on the right, considering that’s where she was born.
Homemade Sushi
I had my first experience making homemade sushi this weekend for my daughter's school project. I had the rolling mat and directions from a book but I had never made maki before. I found a kid-friendly recipe and headed off to the store. The first grocery store did not sell nori seaweed paper so I had to drive to Fort Worth to go to Central Market. Is it really $2.99 for a single cucumber? So they are a little expensive but they had all the ingredients I needed. My wallet was $16 lighter leaving that store.
John Got a Mini
Don't be fooled by his claim that the price of gas made him do it. The truth is he has always wanted one and he just found a way to get one. John bought a black 2004 Mini Cooper. He took the conservative course and did not get the Cooper S. Maybe the price of gas did have something to do with his decision. The car is very nice. It has the double sunroof. The clutch is so short.
Back in the Expedition
Tammy is finally back in the seat of her new Ford Expedition. After just over 2 years in the Freestyle we have relented and gone back to the larger vehicle. This is a 2008. It's just like her 2003 with a couple new features like a sun roof, heated and cooled seats, a backup camera, and my favorite feature, an iPod line-in jack.
If you want any ideas for a birthday present for Tammy, I suggest a gas card.
