2011: Blog Stats in Review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 8,900 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many … Continue reading »

Stephanie Lynn Craig Park

Stephanie Lynn Craig Park is closer to where we live than the last park I wrote about, it is on Russell near Nellis Road, right by Whitney Ranch Recreation Center.  I think it is our second most visited park, after Sunset Park.  Some ideas for stopping by: Go to the park and then zip up … Continue reading »

Reunion Trails Park

The other day a friend texted me to let me know that Reunion Trails Park had opened.  It is on 44 Chapata Drive in Henderson – if you’re familiar with the area it is near Stephanie and the 215.  It was a neat preview of the kind of equipment going into newer parks in town. … Continue reading »

Food Find: Kirkland Organic Rice Milk

Allergen Free Gingerbread Boy Photos

My kids love gingerbread men, which is interesting considering they’d never eaten one.  I think they’re just cute. The funny thing is that E calls them “gingeyman” and the other day a friend came over to do some crafts and her son remarked upon a yard decoration of a gingerbread man by calling it a … Continue reading »

Food Find: Popped Sorghum

The other day I saw “Popghum” at Whole Foods and had to try it.  The variety I tried was Grey Sea Salt and I loved it.  E liked it well enough but I have missed popcorn a little the two years it has been since I’ve had it and this was a welcome treat.  Very … Continue reading »
