I love how 12 days ago, I wrote about missing “real snow…the kind of snow that accumulates to a foot,” and then voila! They’re calling for 12-18″ of snow in Roanoke! Hardy har har. If I say it, it will come. Jeff was able to leave work early today as did a lot of other [...]
I don’t know where the origin of this quote is from but I’ve seen it posted on various sites without a source. Googled wasn’t any help either. Nonetheless, it put a smile on my face.

Music: Zombies by The Cranberries I miss all of the happenings that go on in NYC: the life-long friends, the crazy experiences, the late-night Pommes Frites, photo opps at every corner, and of course the vast variety of uh-mazing foods, among other things.

Upon scanning the contributors’ page, I realized that I no longer looked anything like what my bio picture portrayed—mostly [...]

Christmas is my favorite time of year. Lots of food, lots of family, fireplaces roar, trees are moved inside while lights are moved out. I usually buy Christmas cards, and a few times I’ve purchased the same kind: it’s snowing and a kid is standing with his head back, trying to catch the snow in [...]
Seattle to Roanoke and vice versa. I have a blog and can post whatever I want.

There was a not-so-fantastic movie that I somehow ended up owning called Alex and Emma about a writer who’s struggling to finish a novel in 30 days so that he can pay back some loan sharks (seriously). The Emma character, played by Kate Hudson, likes to read the ending of books to determine whether or [...]
Hi! My name's Huong (pronounced "Hung") and I'm a photographer, writer, wife, and paranoid germaphobe who lives in Roanoke, VA. Traveling, good reads, and witty people with lovely brains are a few of my favoite things, but photography and writing are what this web log is about.
