I went to the Price Is Right!

By Molly Greaves
 
I went to the Price is Right in LA on Monday, and it’s airing this Friday! I’m in the 4th row to the left of the last bidder. It’s going to be a great show too…one girl passes out on her face, one wins 26k on the wheel, the showcase, etc. Funny too.

Early Voting–DONE!

By Molly Greaves

So I put 8, yes that’s right, 8 quarters in the meter today so I wouldn’t feel rushed when I was voting. Who woulda known that I would have been in and out within 20 minutes, getting directions on how to use the voting machine thing and all? Not me or I would [...]

Austin City Limits Pictures…2008

By Molly Greaves

I only had my iPhone  on me to take pictures with, so sorry for any issues.
 
I couldn’t believe people were actually wearing white to the festival. Yellow wasn’t much better. Duh!
This was a 3 day festival and my friends were in from Vermont for all 3 days. It was a blast.

Austin City Limits Festival and then to HAMILTON POOL…

By Molly Greaves
Hamilton Pool is not a pool. I think it catches a lot of slack for that. It is part of the Texas State Park system, and in my opinion, is like a diamond in the rough.
After hiking a mere quarter mile or so, you come to this sunny opening with a random white-sand [...]

By Molly Greaves

I got a pamphlet from the Texas Parks and Wildlife, and it has the top 13 things they claim you “MUST DO” while in Texas.  Here’s what they had listed for ya…and that is me in the picture above on one of many park visits since I am a State Park member!
1. Canoe [...]

Pictures from VERMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE & MAINE!

By Molly Greaves

Every October I make the trek from Texas to Vermont to visit my family. I was fortunate enough to catch the tail end of the foliage, which is always a beautiful thing to be able to experience. The leaves had just peaked as I had arrived since it’s already starting to get chilly [...]

Top Outdoor Essentials. BE PREPARED!

By Molly Greaves
(here I am yesterday in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Today I’m back in Austin, comparing our hills for theirs!)
 
1. Water. Don’t leave without it. On a hot summer day, you can lose more than a liter of sweat per hour.
2. Energy Bars or Snack. Clif and Mojo bars are great tasting and great [...]

By Molly Greaves
“Twin Cities Marathon, The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America,” at least according to http://www.mtcmarathon.org/, where I went to learn more about the marathon that I’m going to in a few weeks.
Boy oh boy am I looking forward to getting up to Minnesota. I’m from Vermont originally, been living in Texas for about [...]
