Don’t bother looking cuz I’m LOST

Oh My Gosh…. I can’t believe it’s finally here. Today is the day. I have been watching “Lost” since it started airing but my husband, Jay finally got on the bandwagon. I have now seen every episode at least twice. He wanted to get ‘caught up’ so we watched nearly 45 [...]

8 is *not* enough!

Maximus turned 8 yesterday and for a Great Dane this is a big landmark. One that I am not ready to accept. One of the first things people say to me when they find out that I have Great Danes is “wow, I’ve heard they don’t live that long.” Seriously???! [...]

Summer Fun

So I received a brochure for this place in the mail and couldn’t believe what I was reading. There is a summer camp where 6-12 year olds can go for only $750 for a 5 day period. And just listen to what fun the kids get to partake in… milking cows and goats, [...]

The Moment of Truth

I can’t wait to watch Fox’s The Moment of Truth tonight. I know it’s sad but I am actually psyched to see this show. Prior to the show, participants are hooked to a lie detector test and are asked a series of questions then during the show they are asked the same questions [...]

It was all a dream

 My husband woke me up at 4am to tell me that he had just had the funniest dream.  Apparently Jay and I were golfing with Maximus, one of our Great Danes, and Maximus got the closest to the pin award and drove his own golf cart.   After the tournament we all went back to [...]

Flower Photos

If you haven’t been to the Franklin Park Conservatory lately, make some time to take your camera and head over there.   

I usually tend to enjoy photography people and pets rather than flowers, landscapes, etc but I couldn’t stop hitting the shutter on my camera the day I went.  

Bowl O Fun

 The neighborhood gang went bowling yesterday and it was the first time for 3 of the kids… Lainey, Jared and Chase… obviously since Lainey is 2, Jared is 18 months old and Chase is only 2 months old.  Lainey loved the fact that it was something she could do it in her socks (they do [...]

True Guacamole Story

When I tell you this, you’re going to think “no Irene, no one is that dense.”  But I promise you, this is a true story.  So I was talking to my friend… uh let’s just call him ‘MacGyver’… and we’d been talking about nice places to visit.  My husband asks MacGyver if he’s ever been [...]

The Champagne sits unopened

 It’s taken me a couple of days to get over it but the Ohio State Buckeyes didn’t win the national championship…again.   And now the SEC believes we’re a joke (maybe they did before the game, who cares).  This first picture was taken in the 4th quarter.  Look how glum everyone is, even the dogs [...]

Dogzilla

 Grandma Dedi got Lainey an indoor/outdoor pop-up playhouse that is the size of an apartment!   We put it up in our family room (temporarily) just to see if she’d like it and found out that all 3 of our Great Danes liked it as much as Lainey.  It’s so big that it has 2 [...]
