Week 24: sunrise, mason jars and birthday cake

June 23, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 2 Comments

Had a few funny moments this week. About lost my mind in Sam's Club over a strategically placed sticker on a case of mason jars. I couldn't help but wonder if the inventory worker who pasted the stickers didn't have the soul of an adolescent boy... like me. It was good that I was shopping … Continue reading Week 24: sunrise, mason jars and birthday cake

Week 23: atmospherical phenomenon

June 16, 2012January 8, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

Looking back over my previous 365Project posts, it's clear that if it weren't for food, our pets and atmospherical phenomenon I would have failed at this undertaking weeks ago. Maybe I should once again attempt weekly themes, just to change things up a bit. The reflection photo was featured on "Fading away." That delicious looking … Continue reading Week 23: atmospherical phenomenon

An Anniversary of some significance

June 14, 2012January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 9 Comments

Today is my 26th wedding anniversary. About two weeks ago, the Mister and I also marked the anniversary of our first date. We don't agree on when that actually was. I say it was June 3, 1983. He insists it was June 1. At this point, it doesn't really matter, except for claiming 'I'm right' … Continue reading An Anniversary of some significance

A cornucopia of corn

May 31, 2012April 12, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

When I began sorting through all the food in my freezer, in preparation of the coming hurricane season, I found - much to my dismay - an overabundance of corn, both in cut and cob form. *note to self: do not buy any corn for at least 12 months. I loathe to throw it out, … Continue reading A cornucopia of corn

Greetings from Florida

May 29, 2012September 5, 2017 ~ Tara R. ~ 10 Comments

The Atlantic Hurricane Season runs from June 1 to November 30. To date, two named storms - Alberto and Beryl - have already formed off the U.S. east coast. My family has lived along the Gulf Coast of Florida since 1995. Our late summer arrival was neatly tucked between Hurricane Erin and Hurricane Opal, both … Continue reading Greetings from Florida

Gate to Gate

May 28, 2012January 7, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

At a time when most people were still in bed this holiday morning, more than 1,800 of my closest friends and I were lined up ready to walk, run, and stroll 4.4 miles in the 27th annual Gate to Gate Memorial Day event at Eglin Air Force Base. My friend Pia and I have been … Continue reading Gate to Gate
