It is really cool to have a husband who is there for me when I need him. All I have to do is ask and he is willing to help with almost anything even to curl the back of my hair when I can’t see it. The problem is that I have to remember to ask when I need help and not try to do it all myself. I am somewhat a control freak. We make good partners because if he asks me to do something I am right there to help him too.

Why would you down load travel apps? There is an app for almost anything you can imagine for helping you in your travels.

When I am at home two of my favorite food snacks are green. This time of year I am thrilled because my favorite one is in season, asparagus fries. OK, basically asparagus fries are just asparagus that is steamed and then cooled and eaten like a fry. I make a dip with ranch dressing and just a hint of horseradish. Then there is my other green snack, edamame. I first had these at a sushi restaurant. Now I find I can buy them in the frozen food section. They come in microwavable steaming bags. Add a little salt and use your teeth to pop the soy bean out of the pod into your mouth. Don’t try eating the little hairy pods it is a yucky experience. I tried that once, only once. I may not be green in everything but going green for me includes my snacks.
