Kerri's Awesome 'BlogThe rantings of an Aussie on the verge of insanity.

I know, I’ve been slack and didn’t update my blog for the longest time and now I have to catch up.  This is old news, but I’m doing it anyway.  Get  over it. 2009 was my first Halloween in the USA, it also happened to coincide with my girls visiting. Our first taste of Halloween [...]

Today was the start of my All American Weekend.  We started with breakfast at IHOP (the International House of Pancakes), eating a ridiculous amount of food and revving up on caffeine to fuel ourselves for the day ahead. Hickam Air Force Base held it’s Open Day today. Dayum! Americans know how to entertain the masses.  [...]

Yes, you read it here first, cricket is coming to Hawaii and I have the pictures to prove it! The boys are going to need a little more practice, methinks. 

On Tuesday 20 January, 2009, we attended the Inauguration of Barack Obama. OH.MY.GOD! It was a massive day – we were picked up from our hotel in New York at 2:30am, dumped at the airport at 4:00am, caught a plane to Washinton DC at 6:20am…. *taking a deep breath* We arrived at Dulles airport at [...]

Taken in Grafton, Illinoi. I have been completely captivated by these incredible creatures.  I can’t get enough of them.  I dare say I will have a few more shots in this Flickr set before I leave Illinois.

We had a call from friends of ours recently. It seems they are getting married in Hawaii next month. Right about the time we are leaving the country for Christmas in Illinois before heading to settle in San Francisco. Damn. Looks like we have to make a slight detour.

For Brad’s first Thanksgiving in Australia, I had to find a good Pumpkin Pie recipe.  That was not as easy as you might think as, at the time, the vast majority of recipes included a ‘can of pumpkin pie filling’.  I have never really been a ‘can of’ kind of girl, and have always made [...]

40th dinner – Bob and Phyllis Originally uploaded by Kerri McCrorey I’m late for Mother’s Day and getting in by the skin of my teeth for Father’s Day. Thank you for being such wonderful in-laws. It makes not having my own parents around a lot less depressing at these times. I love you!

Yes, it’s the long weekend! WOO HOO! We have a few *choke* things to do this weekend, and it’s not good news. We are renovating our house and I would like to get most of it finished this weekend. So…. Tonight we veg, drink and eat crap food, tomorrow we empty the laundry. UGH! This [...]
