A Saturday morning breakfast

On Saturday we went to a place called Angie's. It is downtown, a quick walk from our apartment. It is nearly impossible to find hash browns in diners in New England. We miss the hash browns most from Stan's in downtown Mount Pleasant.

Linsey reading the New York Times, after ordering turkey-hash, wheat toast, coffee and water. 
Stephen reading the paper while eating an egg sandwich made of a bagel, fried egg and bacon. It also came with home fries -- the large potatoes that make a meal feel more like Thanksgiving dinner than breakfast. But, it still was delicious.
Linsey's coffee, in a Life is Good mug. Angie's coffee is good. Linsey mixes her's with cream and sugar.                 

New Blogs

So our family blogging has inspired many of my friends and family to join in the fun. Allow me to introduce you :-)

This is my cousin Carrie and her fiance, Jim. Carrie and myself and my sister are the three youngest of the Wuepper grandchildren, so we've always had a special bond ( i.e. getting stuck eating at the kiddie table.) Carrie used to love Beverly Hills 90210 and I remember when we were little and used to play house or whatever it was, her name was always Kelly and her boyfriends name was always Dylan. We also used to have this "adventure club" (I wish I could remember what it was called) but we gave ourselves flower names like Daisy and Marigold, made puffy paint t-shirts with our flower names on them and "explored" my grandma's back yard or this big, wooded ditch next to her house. I remember once we found some kind of animal skull at her brothers graduation party. Anyway, we used to have lots of fun, and we still do. I'm so happy she is getting married to a fun guy like Jim. He beat my cousin Tim in leg wrestling at Christmas time, which is a really big deal. Their blog is called forever2bengaged.

This is Lynne. She is one of my best friends from college. We lived together for one year in the lovely Park Place apartment complex in good ol' Mt. P. We were both transfer students to the photojournalism program. She lives in Greenville SC with her fiance, John. I'm going to be the maid of honor in her wedding this July! Lynne and John started a new blog about their adventures in SC called garbosma (which is a combination of their last names.)

Ooops

One of Linsey's darts was a little off target.

Nice Dahts

Playing darts on MLK day earlier this week. 

Linsey had two ginger ales.

Stephen had three Hoegaardens.

Heath Ledger

My favorite Ledger movie is The Patriot.
Maybe I'll watch it soon in memory of the guy.
Sad story. Dead at 28.
At least we'll get to see him one more movie: The Dark Knight.
It's Batman flick that is sure to be good.
I bet it will make a lot of money now, too.
Ledger plays the Joker.
What is your favorite Ledger movie?

Wedding cake

This is the wedding cake that Linsey made for some friends from work, who were married Sunday. She also made the little cakes, called petit-fours.  We delivered the cakes this afternoon (and missed the first half of the Patriot's game). It looked very nice in the reception hall. I was quite impressed with her work.

My first dog?

I've decided that my first dog should be an English bulldog -- mostly because they are so damned cool looking.

The other day, a small English bulldog puppy was trouncing through the Daily News parking lot with its owner, happily splashing in puddles but shivering slightly because of the low winter temperatures.

Every since then, all I can think about is how nice it would be to own one of these animals. So if anybody sees any good deals on English bulldog puppies, let me know. And if anyone knows how I can convince Linsey that this is a good idea, also let me know.
