Is the Dominos Pizza Tracker Real?

When we left the story, our hero was eating cold pizza and mourning over the realization that the Dominos Pizza Tracker was not real.  And now, the conclusion of the tale… Apparently while I was looking out the window and hoping that my lunch would arrive, communications were being sent around the food chain within…

Wordless Wednesday: Going Home

As much as I love where I live and the opportunities my children have as a result of where we live, I still want them to experience the beauty of where I grew up.  Over winter break we were able to spend some time in Pennsylvania where they had the chance to meet my parents’…

Wordless Wednesday: Fall Colors

My daughter wishes that she were still swimming in the community’s pool.  My son would like to lounge around in the air-conditioning watching Phineas and Ferb.  But I’m ready for fall.  The oranges, the reds, the yellows.
