Walking through Friday to get to Sunday . . .
On this Maundy Thursday, we pause to remember the last supper between Jesus and His disciples. Many around that table had no idea what the next day – FRIDAY – would bring. But, I often wonder what was going through the hearts and minds of those who loved Jesus as they stood, seemingly hopeless and helpless, watching […]
Anna & Elsa’s Royal Summerhus
Anna and Elsa have a new home at Epcot. ImaginEARS have completed the re-imagined Norway Pavilion to satisfy any and all Frozen fans. One of the new attractions is the Royal Summerhus where you can meet Anna & Elsa. This is a new structure built in Norway and just to the left of the Kringla Bakery. […]
Finding Nemo or Something Like That
Jay and I returned from our annual post-graduation/pre-Christmas vacation a couple of weeks ago. Since then, we have been busy with all of the fun hustle and bustle of Christmas and holidays with family and friends. We were completely nuts to arrive home on Sunday the 22nd, leave for Houston the 23rd, come back the […]
Rain, Dark, Coyote and 13.1 Miles
I realize it has been a bit quiet on my blog, but let me just say, the beginning of Fall 2013 has been anything BUT quiet. O.My.Goodness….to say that I have a lot of plates spinning is an understatement! But, before we get too far down the road, I just had to write about my […]
What NOT to Wear at Disney!
We are Disney fanatics. That is really not news to those who know us. We go to Disney for the weekend on a fairly frequent basis. One of my favorite things to do while in the parks is to “people watch.” Of all the places on earth, Walt Disney World draws such a vast array […]
Victoria & Albert’s, 3 Generations, & the BEST Coffee Ever!
Every August, it has become Jay’s and my tradition to go and celebrate the start of a new academic year with a special trip to Disney World. This past weekend was that trip and we decided to reserve a special meal at Victoria and Albert’s, which we fondly call V&A. V&A, located in Disney’s Grand […]
The Treadmill that Almost Ate My Motivation
This has not been my best week of running. I took 5 days off to let a strained hamstring recover a little. Then, after having a relatively mild summer, we all of a sudden hit the triple digits. Thise of you who live in places with normal weather might be thinking, “So it’s hot during […]
Beans, Gels, and Brew
Wow! I actually got my scheduled 11-mile run in this week and maintained my goal of not dropping into the 13 minute per mile pace. Yes, I started in the dark at 5:30am, but it really wasn’t too bad. I did decide the flashing light was a bad thing, as I would rather blend in […]
Sushi! Snake in the Grass ala Stovall
One of the things I enjoy most is trying to recreate the tasty meals we have in some wonderful restaurants. Can I just say that we have had some amazing sushi through the years . . . especially at the California Grill at Walt Disney World created by Yoshi, their sushi chef? One of our favorites was […]
Running Hot or in the Dark? It’s a C.S.I. Thing
Running the Race is a serious of posts that joins me on the journey to health as I train for my first half-marathon. I really enjoy detective shows like C.S.I., Law and Order, and Criminal Minds. When you watch enough episodes you begin to notice a common introductory story theme. It is always the jogger […]
