So I thought Saturday was bad when it came to sticky weather – Sunday was even worse! This post is going to be a bit of a moan and groan! Our plans were to head to the Renegade Craft Fair and then travel out to Queens to stop by my-super-top-secret sausage mince supplier in Sunnyside….

Tornado Warning!
We are under a tornado watch until 8pm tonight. For weather crazies like me this is so exciting. Just seeing the radar, reading the warnings – weather reporting here is just amazing. I love internet forums and of course, there are an abundance of weather related forums. People share long range predictions, observations and forecasts….
Lebanese Food Festival
Yesterday was so humid. Seriously – awful. We attempted to install our ceiling fan in the bedroom, but we are going to have to get an electrician in. So we are going to get them to install an air conditioner and the ceiling fan at the same time. But that meant we had to still…
Now a break in the Stacy Peterson case?
Last night was spent waking up every half an hour because of the stifling humidity and I happened to check my phone and saw an alert from TMZ that there is a possibility that Stacy Peterson’s body may have been located. I must say, it was strange to see TMZ reporting such stories but it…

Justice for Natalee?
I plan on continuing my Australia trip blog posts, but today I got a breaking news alert that I couldn’t believe. Joran van der Sloot wanted for the murder of a Peruvian woman. Five years ago I became totally enthralled in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. I had been an avid crime news follower before…
Memorial Day – #blogeverydayofjune
The weekend was huge and we are exhausted – which I’m not sure how you are supposed to feel after a long weekend?! But anyway – it was fabulous. Bill turned 40. Happy Birthday to you gorgeous! Memorial Day is beautiful here – and even moreso upstate where people really know how to show their…
