Tuesday, August 5, 2014. Twas the Night Before NYC. Yes, that's right. Tomorrow I'm on an airplane to fly to New York City. It will be my first visit to the Big Apple. I'm going with my daughter. What an adventure we have planned. This is something we've talked about doing for about 3 years and now it's here. We'll be posting photos on Instagram and I'll share a lot when we get back. We have our days packed with fun sight seeing, museum visits and lots of pizza, I mean lots of good food. Young and Loving...

Giraffiti: August 2015
http://tgaytan.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. I recently blogged about a trip to Boise to attend a memorial service. It was a quick trip. One morning as I was driving my sister's (manual transmission) car around town, I found myself in a familiar area and realized it was near my grade school, Whittier Elementary. So I took a photo. The grade school turned out to be really close to the Main Street auction where I spent many a Saturday as a kid with my Dad. So I took two photos. I'm not 16 anymore! 40th reunion in September!

Giraffiti: January 2015

Sunday, January 11, 2015. Avoiding Ground Hog's Day. Do you ever feel like this:. Doing the same thing over and over again every day? When my alarm goes off in the morning, all I can think about is, didn't I just do this exact same thing yesterday? I'll get up, maybe go to the gym, commute to the office, work, commute home, make dinner, clean the kitchen, watch a little TV and then get up the next day and do it all over again. Maybe when I get home from work I do something fun before I make dinner. W...

Sunday, December 29, 2013. My Epic 27 Hours in Portland, Oregon. Friday, December 27th. That was on our list of things to do on Saturday. We enjoyed doughnuts in the car as we drove to our hotel in the Nob Hill district of Portland. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express which offered free parking. It was a nice hotel. We leave the hotel to meet Scott's family for dinner at Kell's Brew Pub. After approximately 25 minutes of train watching we were then blessed to move across the tracks and on our way to din...

Giraffiti: Saying Good Bye
http://tgaytan.blogspot.com/2015/08/saying-good-bye.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. I had moved away from home to attend college. We saw each other off and on when I made trips home to visit my parents. Then later when my parents had retired to St. George I would occasionally visit with her on our way to the cabin in Idaho. The older I get the more it feels like time passes quicker. Before I knew it, it had been many years since we had seen each other. With Facebook we had reconnected, able to share family pictures of kids and grand kids. I was able to go to Bois...

Friday, September 12, 2014. Art Makes Me Happy - NYC. While in NYC we had the opportunity to visit many museums. It does involve a lot of time and a lot of walking. But they do not disappoint. We started with the. Not to mention the movie scenes that get filmed there, like. Are they out of their minds? After viewing each floor, getting told not to take photos on the ramp and using the tiny rounded bathroom where you can hit your head on a column while getting up from the toilet, we then.

Giraffiti: Family Time at the Cabin
http://tgaytan.blogspot.com/2015/08/family-time.html
Sunday, August 2, 2015. Family Time at the Cabin. Sometimes I'm amazed at how many years we've been going to the cabin for our annual family vacation. This year neither of my kids were able to be there. But as always my sister's are great at sharing their grand children. Wally and I drove Saturday morning stopping frequently. Our favorite lunch spot for many years has been. But this year he passed on the hotcakes. It was very good. Everyone else arrived on Tuesday, or was it Wednesday? The weather was ve...

Giraffiti: February 2014
http://tgaytan.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 15, 2014. Yes, I do. And today I floated in a sensory deprivation float tank with 10 inches of salt water. It was my first experience. A friend had recently done it and enjoyed it. I did my research and was ready to give it a try. My only question to him was, "is there a light in the tank? To which he replied "no". While he was in the room with me we did not open the tank to look inside. He did however show me the ambient (rope) lighting on the edge of the shower floor. The one thing n...

Wednesday, February 18, 2015. My husband and I listen to the radio while eating dinner in the evenings. Sometimes a song comes on that we either don't recognize or one that we really like. We get curious about the artist so I get my cell phone and I. It (I'm pretty sure Shazam has just become a verb.) That will bring up the song title, artist and many times the lyrics. Two songs I like that we recently looked up were Uptown Funk. Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars and Sugar. Doh doh doh, doh doh doh, doh doh.
