Paris Pictures

I found these great pictures at my favorite antique store - they are really antiques but probably from Marshalls. I got a good price on them - I like their colors and thought they would look great in my office.  I moved to a new office and there is a lot of wall space to decorate. One of my doctors put them up for me last weekend. I think they look great!

Guitar Lessons

You are never too old to learn something new!!   I am taking guitar lessons from my niece.  She is a really good guitar player and piano player.  She also sings!! My brother and his family got all the talent.  I am not a good singer but I thought I would do an instrument and she offered to teach me.  I had my first lesson last night.  Needless to say - it is hard!!  I just want to be able to play a song - like a Taylor Swift song.  I can play the guitar and my niece can sing - we will go out on the road - I have to come up with a really good name for us.  I have homework for the next week until my next lesson.  I hope I can do it! 

RIP Nora Ephron

Nora Ephron, director, screenwriter passed away at the age of 71.  You might not know the name but you definitely know her movies - Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry met Sally, You've got Mail, Silkwood, Julie & Julia, and Bewitched.  These are some of my favorite movies - she will be sorely missed. 

She was also married to Carl Bernstein and pregnant with their second child when she found out he was having an affair with married British politician Margaret Jay - that led to her writing Heartburn. 

Happy Father's Day!

I just want to wish everyone a Happy Father's Day - from fathers, uncles, godfathers, etc. Hope you enjoyed your beautiful day!! 

Snow White & The Huntsman

My husband and I went to see Snow White last weekend - it was great - not your disney snow white that is for sure.  Kristen Stewart did a great job as Snow White - got her british accent down - she was amazing with all her stunt work from riding horses, fighting and jumping into the ocean.  There was real chemistry between her and Chris Hemsworth (Huntsman).  Charlize Theron as the evil queen was magnificent.  She was so scary in her role.  My husband also thought it was good.  I am going to see it again with my nieces - you should definitely see it!

Graduation 2012

One of my favorite people (niece & godchild) graduated on Saturday - can't believe it.  Time does fly - she had a great party - I made the appetizers - 7 layer taco dip, black bean and corn salsa, and celery and carrots with dip  - the 7 layer taco dip was a hit - I only made 15 of each - it was a little dicey on how I was going to transport them but I did the other two (black bean and veggies ones) at the party.  Here are some pictures!!
