Oh Those Chocolate Eggs!

We were able to choose from any past theme on Heads or Tails for this weeks theme. I chose Sweet or Sour and want to tell you about sweet! They are out to get me. I absolutely love chocolate but it gives me headaches. I am almost willing to suffer the headache to taste those [...]

Our Impression of Lucas Oil Stadium

Karen — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 17:00:09 +0000

From the minute we drove up to the new Lucas Oil Stadium, I was in awe. It is a huge stadium! It looks old fashioned from the outside, a bit like Hinkle Field House at Butler University. I think the architect was hoping to bring back memories of good old fashioned ball games and times [...]

I told you I would get back to you with my review of our visit to the flower and patio show at Lucas Oil Stadium. It was called a flower show but it was more of a home show with vendors selling their wares. There were many booths selling roofing, siding and windows. We saw [...]

Checking Out the New Stadium

Karen — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 15:57:28 +0000

I am so excited because our weather turned a bit warmer yesterday and it feels like spring might actually be at our doorstep. The tulips and crocus will be peeking their heads out of the soil and that is always a good sign that warm temperatures are just around the corner. I haven’t spotted a [...]

Fabric Surprises

Karen — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 23:54:22 +0000

Have you ever looked at fabric and been inspired to create something? There are many beautiful fabrics that cry out to be made into slipcovers. A few fabrics are produced with fancy dresses in mind. I searched to find fabric to make a purple and green handbag. I hoped to walk into a quilt shop [...]

Google gives the opportunity to visit the slopes by using “Street View”. An interactive way to get up close during the Winter Olympics, Street View was introduced in 2007 and provides, according to Wikipedia, 360° horizontal and 290° vertical panoramic views from a row of positions along the street (one every approximately 10 or 20 [...]
