Mrs. Enginerd - Nerd Whisperer
It’s official. The Enginerds have moved out of the Maison and are now living in temporary housing until Château closes. Woop woop! Leaving the keys was a bittersweet moment but we were ready to embark on the next 15 year journey together. The house had been with us 10.5 years and it was too small […]
You’d think that finding a pet friendly hotel would have been easy since it is a trending subject but after a thorough search of rooms near us, we found only one that really was all inclusive of pet breeds: La Quinta Inn. A few Best Westerns and one Extended Stay America were willing to take […]
When I was little my mom let me watch the movie Reconstructing Henry in which Harrison Ford plays a wealthy man that loses his memory and motor skills due to an accident. As he starts piecing together his life he realizes that he used to be a horrible person and that his new condition presented […]

Many friends […]
Daunting. Unyielding. Relentless. Aware. A memory is lost and the pain remains. Darkness. Enmity. Hopelessness. Apprehension. What has been was but never will be again… Despair. Aloofness.

When I give my family gift cards I usually put them inside greeting cards or dollar store gift card boxes. So boring! By chance, during my sister’s birthday, I stumbled across a cheap and beautiful way to hand them out instead. It is surprisingly easy to make: Go to your local discount or dollar store […]
I can’t blame my husband for falling out of love with the new house. The wait has mainly killed any shred of hope I had that he was going to be able to see past the project management snafus and enjoy his new home. Even with the updates we made, and the trim pieces and […]
The first time I noticed the difference between a translator and an interpreter was during the 1996 Miss Universe pageant. Alicia Machado, Miss Venezuela, was answering the questions in Spanish but what the assigned translator said in English was a better, more polished interpretation of what she had mentioned. The realization that the person communicating […]
***Contains spoilers*** Hardcore Potterheads know that the magic of this movie is in the details. Muggles or No-Majs may not realize that many of the subtleties of the movie refer to the many offshoot stories mentioned as the Harry Potter narrative progressed. From Newt’s scarf in Hufflepuff colors to the shout out to original cast […]
