What is YOUR idea of a fun day?

Hello those friends and family who might be checking this blog out,

Since the weather here in Virginia has been so "off the chart" HOT,  I have discovered that a really fun day for me is first doing  my morning devotions and special people prayer time ...then my normal housework, computer work, catching up on family phone calling and basically ticking off the list of "what needs to be done today".... and when the sun starts to go down, I get Chris to "rev up" the 1967 maroon colored Corvair convertible and pull it out of the garage and OFF we go...to the Beach to cruise Atlantic Avenue of Virginia Beach.   Now this is what I call FUN!  

It is so great being back on the East Coast of the USA after being so long in Albania.  I do LOVE living and working in Albania, mind you, But ...there is no place like HOME... (even if it is only for a few weeks a year).

I will post some good beach photos later.
for now.... gotta go... 
the Corvair is rearing to go....
and the sun is going down!

So, until next time,
Mirupafshim,

The TWINS ARE NOW 18 years old!!!

Party time .... June 6th, 2008

Yikes, I cannot believe that my beautiful twin granddaughters are 18 years old today!   I am sooooo glad that I am here in the US being able to celebrate their birthdays with them.  Last night we all went out to an awesome THAI restaurant and enjoyed a bit of a rowdy and clamorous time together celebrating their birhtday.  Now mind you, only "Thai tea" and "Thai coffee" were drunk, although from our laughter and rambunctious behaviour, you would have thought that "stronger" beverages were had ...ha ha.   The appetizers Thai Dumplings, Spring rolls and Chicken Satay were scrumpious. Siam Beef and Pad Thai were voted the favorite entrees with duck coming in close to the top choice....
Back at the ranch....house by the river actually, we all sang the traditional HAPPY BIRTHDAY and ate the special Carvel ice cream cake while laughing the night away watching VHS videos of the girls when they were "little".....

Tonight we all go to the Beach AND eat seafood and drink beer and iced tea.
will post the newest pictures tomorrow.
