I was laying in bed this morning thinking about Christmas music so now I have two songs I want to share with you. If you don’t live in San Antonio or even Texas the chances that you ever hear these are pretty slim. Both of these songs are sung by people from San Antonio and [...]
Since I didn’t have this blog back then I wasn’t able to share pictures from our first trip to San Diego. In the end of September 2008 JP and I spent a few days in San Diego near Mission Beach. I went into my archives and found a few of my favorite photos from that [...]
Today I was going digging through an old box of photos and I found this one. This is me like a bazillion years ago. The picture was taken out on a 40 acre piece of property that my dad owned in Michigan. After I started thinking about it I remembered that I snapped pictures of [...]
I have always been pretty good at keeping in touch with people from the past. I am always curious to see what direction people went with their life and what they have been up to. Anyone who has been in my life for a long time will remember Barb. I went back in my archives [...]
Let me tell you a story that goes back to September 2007. When my father was starting to get very sick I took Lily with me back home to Michigan for a week. I remember this trip really well because it was the last time I saw my dad alive. We spent the week mostly [...]
This morning after James and Suzie left for work me and the kids were ready for our day of adventure together. What is better than a group of cousins hanging out together having fun for the day? They are all pretty close in age (Lily is 8, Stevie is 7 & Tangerine is 5) and they are generally amused [...]
We spent our last full day of vacation with my sister Vanessa and her family. I was trying to decide between a few different things to do but eventually chose Greenfield Village which is next to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI. What is it you ask? This is what wikipedia says: The Henry [...]
Every once in awhile something happens. I can’t really explain it. And I don’t usually know that it is happening. Then the sun sets and as I lay snug in my bed a thought occurs to me. I DIDN’T TAKE A PICTURE OF ANYTHING TODAY! In my head I recapped my day and I totally did things [...]
I’m pretty sure that I have told you guys this before but I am gonna say it again - I totally think JP is the smartest person I know. He knows a lotta stuff about a lotta stuff. I am always asking him questions and in turn I am constantly learning from him. If you have [...]
When I moved to San Antonio a little over 3 years ago I didn’t bring much with me. Once I decided I was moving I got rid of everything. I brought like 4 boxes of personal stuff like pictures and what not and then the rest of my car was stuffed full of clothing, shoes and jackets. [...]
Yesterday we took Stephanie and David to the airport and they headed back to Seattle. Amanda has decided to stay a little longer and spend some time making decisions. I haven’t taken many pictures in the last two days but when I looked back at the photos from this weekend I realize just how much I [...]
I am fascinated with black and white photos. I think they are so beautiful. Imagine a time when television was just invented, people read colorless printed newspapers, everyone smoked cigarettes, and family was what mattered most. I think what I like most is when you look at the pictures you look at their faces not at the bright [...]
JP: Do you know what tomorrow is? Me: Saturday JP: Yes, but what is happens tomorrow? Me: Sunny Saturday? JP: UUGGHHhhh Me: What am I forgetting? JP: Tomorrow is the 3 year anniversary of the day we met. This my friends is one of the many million reasons I love this man!
Have you noticed sometimes when I post things there are words that appear to be bolded or in a different color? Have you had your mouse hover above them? If you have you will notice it usually says “click here” and if you do it will take you to another posting in my website that [...]
There are big changes coming to www.curiousdaisy.com check back often!
I have been picking my brain for what picture to take and add to my final post of 2010. I can’t come up with anything so I decided to take it in a different direction. 2010 was a big year for me. I went through a lot of changes and I learned a lot this year. I also [...]
When I was a kid you use to be able to tour the Kellogg’s Cereal factory. Rumor has it that in 1986 someone stole a top secret receipe when on a factory tour so in turn they stopped giving tours. The factory is in a town named Battle Creek. You pass by Battle Creek on your way [...]
Growing up it was always easy to remember my parents anniversary because it is the same day as Veterans Day. If my parents were still alive today would have been their 49th wedding anniversary. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!
Today I went through a box of photos that I have from when I was a kid and I pulled out all of the Halloween pictures that I could find. I did my absolute best to put these in date order. As far as I can tell this is my first Halloween! In 1979 Vanessa was Raggedy Ann, I [...]
We are slowly getting things put where they belong in our new house. Today it was decided that this would go well in the master bathroom. We will use the inside to store bath products. JP bought this a few years ago at a store called Second Use off of 1st Avenue in Seattle. Here is a [...]
Did you see the Google homepage today? Anyone who knows me knows about my fascination with Wizard of Oz. If you are a regular reader you should remember this post. Here is what google has on their homepage today. Today is their 71st anniversary! There is no place like home! Here is a picture from Halloween [...]
Since I didn’t take a picture of anything today I decided to post some old ones. Here is my mother and I at a polish festival. I won a prize for being the youngest one there. I am guessing I am about 5 or so in this picture. Happy Birthday to me! I am thinking this [...]
I was in the drive-thru at Starbucks today and it got me thinking. Most of you are probably wondering what BofC is? A few of you already know but I am going to tell you again. When I first starting seeing JP he would send me a picture of his coffee cup every morning. Seem [...]
Lily and I bought a game on the Wii Shopping Network today. 100 points for anyone that can tell me exactly what game this is and what consol it was originally played on.
I saw this candy wrapper at work today and it totally took me back to when I was a kid. I remember going to Central School and when school was over we would walk across the street to a little convient store named Roy’s Food Town and buy candy. I remember the penny candy was [...]
So as I was cooking dinner today I had two different thoughts. I made the lasagna from Mom Z’s cookbook and I realized that if my parents were still alive I know exactly what they would be eating for dinner tonight. When I told JP that I knew what they would be eating he said “Ok, what [...]
I swear we use to have one of these when I was a kid. I told my sister Vanessa about it today and she didn’t remember! Does anyone else remember having one of these when they were a kid?
