She took us to Ann Arbor (Washtenaw County) which is an hour away from Detroit (Wayne County). Unknown to us, we were about to see the other side of Michigan.

There are ... read more

hey friends - it's been nearly a month and a half that we've been back in the good ole "estamos unidos" (a little pun I shared with a nuez vendor in Oaxaca). While being back has it's pluses and minuses, we've really enjoyed re-connecting with friends and family and preparing for our next adventure.

Is anybody else out there as obsessed with the new jingle for from the folks over at JELL-O Incorporated?? Oh you know, "jiggle it 'n' wiggle it", with the little boy doing a jazz step with the cow? Wow, they've got a winner on their hands. If I'm lucky enough to catch the commercial in the morning before work it really puts stride in my step. I hear Grammy....:) So Sarah's 24th birthday was two Wednesdays ago, and we celebrated with a little kereoke in St. Louis. Now usually, I'm pretty confident in the tunes I tackle, but lemme tellya.
