Easter Egg Dyeing

There is a grand tradition in our home that is a favorite among the kids...The Easter Egg Dyeing. Most of us hate boiled eggs, deviled eggs or egg salad sandwiches but there is something about dyeing eggs that makes it worth the smell. This year, we were blessed to have all of our grandchildren in town for the big event. Here is our Ella Mae Zern and Boston Douglas Reich hard at work creating the perfect colors of Easter.

Newlyweds Are Home

2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics

We have loved the 2010 Winter Olympics and the great success that American Athletes have had during competition! What incredible talent we have witnessed among all of the athletes...but, of course, we are so proud of those that have represented our country so well! My personal favorite has been the men's half pipe snowboarding, men's speed skating, and men's ice skating...The names White, Ohno and Lysacek will long be remembered!

I've also been impressed with the great beauty of Vancouver and the many media reports of the people, businesses and culture...I'm thinking it would definitely be an interesting place to visit!

Two Hearts In San Francisco

This week, Doug has a business training class just outside of San Francisco. He asked me to join him...And, of course, I'm always up for a great Adventure! I haven't visited northern California since the summer of 1990, so it was with great anticipation that I came to see what changes have occurred in this part of the country. One thing hasn't changed these many years...the beauty and diversity of San Francisco. What a great city! I fondly remembered Fisherman's Wharf, Lombardo Street, China Town and the steep hilly streets throughout the city. It was a great workout on Sunday, when we decided to walk around a section of the city and I happened to be in 3 inch heeled boots strutting around in the rain with an umbrella in one hand and holding on to Doug's arm with the other! I still recall the thrill of seeing the Golden Gate Bridge for the first time! It was an iconic vision of "really cool!" It's going to be a great week and I'm so excited for our time together...making new memories!
