Sweet 100's

Today Kurt emailed me photos of the tomatoes and peppers we planted on April 22nd. I couldn't believe how big the plants have gotten while I've been here in California. He ate some of the Sweet 100's tonight and said they were "DELICIOUS!" I can't wait to go home and make some BLT's!!!

Scorpion Queen

Dolly and Teddy spent the night tonight while Tyler worked the mid-shift. His work schedule will be quite an adjustment for this new little family. We had fun watching Pride and Prejudice, eating Mexican food, and looking at wedding pictures. The highlight of the night, however, was when Teddy discovered a scorpion in the shower upstairs. Ugh. Thank goodness Dolly isn't a weenie. And what a relief to find out our little friend had already expired ;-)

Stopping By To Say Hi

My boy stopped by tonight on his way back to Roseville. Just wanted to say hi. What a sweetie to check on his mom. He downloaded some music to my laptop that he thought I might like. He was right. I loved it. Check out The Head and the Heart when you get a chance. Nice. Thanks Ty!

Sold!!!

Today I watched as our travel trailer was hauled off of our property. Earlier in the week, I sold it to a neighbor's friend. I made a whopping $100.00!! Tyler says we should have paid someone to haul it off. He should know, he lived in this trailer while we were building our home. I can't wait to see what they end up doing with it. They plan to "pimp it out" and use it for a traveling boutique. Should be interesting.

A Day With Friends

This morning I had the honor of attending the temple with my son's new mother-in-law, who is also my friend, Claudia Smith. What a wonderful experience we had. We enjoyed the peace that can only be experienced in the Lord's House. We then walked to Lake Natomas and chatted the whole time. We ended our morning with lunch at Rubios. YUM! Thank you Claudia! Thank you for your friendship and for the gift of your sweet daughter in my life....and, by the way, this is the yummiest whole wheat bread and strawberry jam I have EVER eaten!!!

As if my morning were not perfect enough, I got to spend the evening with my dear friend Tara! Her sweet husband did Dad duty so she could visit me in Placerville. We had dinner at a new restaurant here in Placerville - Bricks Eats and Drinks. What a fun restaurant! We stopped for frozen yogurt at Whistle Stop, and came back to the house where she gave me iPad lessons and we looked at our DC pictures and talked until she turned into a pumpkin at midnight. I sure do love my friends. I am so blessed!

If The Shoe Fits.....

Today I went shopping with my friend Judy. We made our way through Kohl's, Ross, and Michaels. We had fun trying on crazy shoes. Judy bought 4 pair. I bought 1. No worries, we didn't buy any of the shoes pictured above! ;-) We had lunch at La Bou, great conversation, and LOTS of fun!

Rain, Rain, Go AWAY!!!!!

It's been a wet, cold and dreary week here in Placerville. Temperatures are in the low 40's today. C'mon, it's June! What I wouldn't give for some sunshine!
