theresa s life theresa s life thursday july 19 2012 13 more to go my sister and i travelled to montana the beginning of july it is very beautiful i am out of practice blogging since i mostly been facebooking but today i took a nostalgic look back at my post and there is something to be said about the quality of blogs versus facebook who knows maybe it won t take me another year to post again at 9 18 pm no comments saturday july 31 2010 14 more to go this year so far i was able to cross two states off my states to see list louisiana and missouri louisiana was a compromise since michael had already been there twice and really didn t want to go back the compromise was we took a train there since michael loves trains it actually worked out ok for me since i seemed to had caught some kid of bug and slept probably 80 of the train ride below michael happy to be on the train and a border stop in texas actually michael changed his opinion of louisiana and we had a fun time there visiting cemeteries plantations and taking swamp tours below picture from the cemetery tour they have to bury their dead above ground the place where katrina came over the bank and laura s plantation that was built without any nails st louis was just ok probably because i had to site see on my own since michael was there for work i of course took in the arch and crossed underneath it so i can say i now have officially crossed the gateway to the west i also took in the anheuser busch brewery tour and saw the clydalles dalmatians and sampled the free beer the arch a view from above there is a little pod car that lets you ride up the arch in the inside first pic of the court house where the dred scott case took place the second the ballpark and if you look closely nestle purina is on the left and michael is inside somewhere the beer tour and a picture of my free beer very tasty at 10 59 am 2 comments tuesday march 16 2010 ready to learn something last weekend we took my parents to the annual wisteria vine festival in my town it is amazing to know just in our little town which a few years ago was voted in the top 10 small towns of america we have not one but two of the biggest things one is the wisteria vine the largest living blooming plant in the world once a year the two homes that the vine is located on open the yard to view the vine it takes over an acre of property so how did the vine get here you may ask well sierra madre s vine was originally purchased in a gallon can for 75 cents in 1894 the seeds are said to have been brought to europe by marco polo also known for his fun swimming pool game in the 13 th century as prized treasures from the orient in 1913 extra arbors were built to support the vine so it could cover the house and it did just that eventually the roof collapsed and the house was torn down in 1931 the arbors were retained and a new house was built 200 feet away other fascinating facts about the vine include but are not limited to 1 5 million luxuriant lavender blossoms 250 tons more than one acre in size 500 foot branches 40 blossoms per sq foot growth rate per various experts from 24 in 24 hours to 26 in 48 hours named by the guinness book of world records as the largest blossoming plant in the world the vine has been named one of the seven horticultural wonders of the world along with the redwood forest in sequoia national park brazil s tropical jungle in the amazon valley mexico s xochimilco floating gardens india s gardens of the taj mahal japan s yokohama rock gardens and the gardens of buckingham palace in 1918 12 000 people attended the first public wistaria festival in the 1930s a 6 week wistaria event took place with more than 100 000 people making the trip to see the vine in the 1940s and again in the 1960s at considerable expense the vine required horticultural restoration dry ice packs three foot hypodermic needles with vitamin b hormone shots and more through the years the vine has had many nicknames among them glorified bean jack s beanstalk queen of the san gabriels lavender lady sierra madre s treasure and the monster we had a fun day after visiting the vine we went down to the park for some snacks then walked down the main drag that was filled with vendors and had lunch at lucky baldwins one of the early town s folk although we learned all of this on the tour i needed a bit of help remembering so fun facts were provided by the sierra madre wistaria web site at 4 24 pm 4 comments sunday march 14 2010 hey let s go to the cemetery michael is known for his list of fun stuff to do list but last week when it rained cancelling our camping trip to anza borrego michael s plan b list seemed less than desirable to his friend jeff and myself we all agreed to go to the getty villa but since we could not get reservations until 2pm michael wanted to do something before hand his suggestion was a trip to forrest lawn cemetery in glendale ca but i have to admit by the end of the cemetery tour it was an interesting place to go i particularly love the last window supper window we were not allowed to take pictures so i copied the pictures from the following website it will also tell you more about the building of the window pretty cool stuff http www forestlawn com about forest lawn glendale the last supper window memorial terrace asp then it was off to the getty villa in malibu mr getty was quite a visionary in the collection of arts for the sake of having them seen his personal favorite was the greek and roman gods and goddesses which are housed at the villa and then i would be remiss if i didn t include how the day ended we came home barbecued and then i whipped the boys in a game of trivial pursuit and then watched a movie which i feel asleep to at 5 22 pm 3 comments saturday march 13 2010 the ranch on the hill it might look more like a castle and maybe that is why it was dubbed hearst castle however mr hearst loved the open fields and all the animals he had on his ranch his parents a silver miner who made a fortune and his wife a teacher purchased this property when he was a kid and he loved exploring it this is the 2 nd time i have been to hearst castle and i love going to see all the amazing architecture and period pieces inside the castle however the best view is that of the neptune pool it actually took 3 tries to get it to its current look the first tries were too small and of course it might be too cold to swim so there was an indoor gold line pool too when done touring for the day we went back to the place we were staying morrow bay very easy to find by its huge landmark morrow rock we had fun on the nearby beach chasing the birds then we made it back to the hotel where we must of surprised a valentine celebrating couple we had a hot tub on our patio and when we went out to turn it on to our surprise we saw wet footprints and a 1 2 of bottle of wine sitting next to the hot tub i had to laugh i had to admire their panache in my younger days i must admit i did some pool hopping myself my cousin once fell into the powdered chlorine bin but i digress but then again a sigh came too thinking hmmm am i getting old since maybe my hopping days are over at 8 18 am 1 comment saturday february 27 2010 i love my job so yesterday in my ap calculus classes 2nd and 3rd period of the day we did a fairly hard problem it surprised me that in both classes after we got done the problem both classes clapped of course i w as feeling pretty good about the class and myself just coming alive for the love of math a couple kids stayed after class to ask questions but the one question i loved the most was a girl wh o pondered much more than calculus in the class her question was simple how do i get those rings of color in my hair they are really cool now not only am i disappointed that i didn t reach all the kids with tha t amazing problem i find out i have a bad hair dye problem and kristen linda you thought you had hair troubles all pictures from google image at 9 48 am 3 comments thursday february 25 2010 bye bye dairy queen i decided every time i do a new banner heading i will place the old one in my blog who knows maybe someday someone will come up with an easy way to make blog posts into a book of course mine would be a best seller just kidding in case my humor did not translate well but anyway it is funny that some people think michael and i take all these great adventures because here we were in north carolina and we were all excited to be at the dairy queen we actually have one picture of the sundae maker laughing at us but in our defense there are no dairy queens by us but i guess that could be a good thing for our waist line the new picture was taken when we visited hearst castle on our way up to sf story still to come at 6 44 pm 3 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me theresa work hard play harder enjoy life live love laugh often and be green view my complete profile
