Goodbye Grandma Knapp

August 14, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I don’t know about you, but my weekend went by with a big whoosh! Thursday night, late late at night, Dave (the BF)’s dear grandmother passed away.  She was 99 years old and lived a long and feisty life.  I only knew her from visiting her in the nursing home and she was…

{WIAW #34} Summer Staples

August 1, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!   So I wasn’t going to do WIAW, because that would involve visiting other blogs, which I’m temporarily giving up.  I did decide to pop in on Jenn’s WIAW because she told me via Twitter that she had created an ACV concoction that she wouldn’t be sharing until today.  (*sigh* I broke down…

Hello Friends! Well I feel like I haven’t had a moment to breathe this weekend…although that is probably an exageration.  I am alive, afterall. Friday I was talking on the phone with the BF (who was on his way home!) and I started squealing and saying, “It’s here!  It’s here!” I could see from my…

Zoo-exercise

June 2, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! Well I am pooped.  And famished.  (And overly-dramatic.) Today I had the pleasure of exploring the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo.  Apparently Trip Advisor rated it the best zoo in the US.  No big deal. 😉 I’m so excited!! I met my good friend Emily who had her little babe Rhea and the little…
