I just returned from a really great trip home to Tucson. The point of the trip was, of course, to visit my family. However I ended up actually doing a lot of fun things during my stay. I went hiking in the desert with my mom, sis and the dogs. I went to a terrifically [...]

All around San Francisco are these sculptural hearts.
This one is in Union Square along with several others. I love checking them out when I’m down there.

However, I also love it when I stumble across one while I’m just walking through the city. That was the case with this one:

One of the vague dreams that I have for my life is to own a bed and breakfast in a nice summer-y location someday. I’d like to have a place to get away to for a few months out of every year, a place where I could spend time just getting to know new people [...]

The topic of weddings and honeymoons seems to keep coming up in my life a lot lately. I have to admit, it’s not a topic that I really understand. I’ve never been someone who was a big fan of ceremonies and I kind of think that the whole hullaballoo that people put themselves through for [...]
