Today is Mark’s 61st birthday. Want to know how to plan a perfect birthday? You have to know the birthday recipient very well – all his wishes, his likes – and then you have to think of a way give him everything he could wish for. That’s why at the breakfast table Mark found a card that said, “Aargh, Matey! Happy birthday!” along with a treasure map. Continue reading
I haven’t written in a while because my laptop hard drive began to fail and we took it in to get backed up and have a new hard drive put in. Unfortunately, the backup couldn’t capture everything I had on the old hard drive so I’ve been having to rebuild my computer. The last couple days we’ve been busy seeing about the last of everything we wanted to see while we’re here, so I have pictures to share: Continue reading
My friend, Denise Fuller, gave me a heads up on a partial answer to prayer. I have been looking online for confirmation of this story and there’s not much yet, but here is a report from the BBC:

This afternoon Mark finished calibrating my bicycle odometer and we took our bikes out for a trial run. Continue reading
Just a quickie to brag on what my husband did tonight: He bought me a new bicycle because I’ve been trying to get more active and get in shape again. I’ve been doing a fair amount of walking since I’ve gotten my SparkPeople Activity Tracker, but it will track bicycling too. Plus, Mark got me an odometer that tracks calories burned and distance and stuff like that. He is so supportive of my desire to become fit again!
I have always thought it would be romantic to take a horse-drawn carriage ride, and apparently a number of other people thought so too. Mark and I made a dress-up date for tonight to go into San Antonio and take a horse-drawn carriage tour of the city. Traffic was congested and we waited in line for nearly two hours, but we finally got our romantic ride in a Cinderella carriage! Here are some pictures from this evening: Continue reading
