The Month in Review!

Jeez, its been two monts since I last posted! Hmm, I have been busy... but thats a bit ridiculous!

FRIENDS!


Guess who came to visit me? Rice and Earl! (Sorry, Rice, I don't know how to put the two dots over your e) Its been waaaay too long and it was great hanging out for lunch and a short trip to Flax Art Store. I would have played all afternoon, but it one of my all time favorite bosses was retiring.

We've had DJ for six months now! Were all accustomed to each other. In fact, yesterday we took him to the off leash dog park by the bay, and we were able to let him off leash because he now has recall! It was an exciting moment for us. He's such a good boy and we love having him!



I have been doing some art. I made this journal with some scraps of my favorite paper. The picture isnt that great, but I am really pleased with how it came out.


Lastly, were on staycation! Taking some time for work, but staying home. Its lovely! So none of this for awhile:

The Week In Review

I have been gardening at mom's house to thank her for watching DJ one day a week. Here's a picture of DJ gardening... he helps by eating the grass:

I have also been working on a quilt. The pattern is from Nine Patch Pizzazz... its fun but a bit challenging. Sorry, not the best picture.


And, lucky me, I had breakfast with my dear friend Cindi who I never see often enough:

Its been a good week! Hope yours has been too. Here's wishing us all a good next week.

TED

I have just recently found TED (which stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design) talks and have been watching a lot of them. They are short amazing talks under 20 minutes on all kinds of subjects. I just watched this:

Goodbye Sweet Maxie Max

My brother Ryan and SIL Brooke had to help their sweet 8 year old rescue greyhound Max cross over so that he can chase rabbits. We always remind whoever has to do this very hard and painful job that all of our other cats and dogs will greet this one on the other side.

I am crying while typing this... Max was such a GREAT dog and we will all miss him!

Lucky Me!

Look what I received in the mail painted by my very own beautifully talented nephews!

An Easter Egg! Its the first (of many I hope) mail I received from them. It made me very happy! Thank you Colton and Graybug. I love you!

May everyone have a day filled with treats from loved ones. Happy Easter!

Come Tweet with Me

Ok, when I first heard about Twitter I thought it sounded dumb and did I really want to join another social network when I am already on Facebook. But, my SIL sent me an invite. With two little ones she and I dont get as much time to chat so I signed up. Imagine my surprise that I love it. Its quick and easy: a great way to stay in touch and find out whats going on. I am loving it. You can follow stars like the Obamas... but they twitter so much that I miss seeing the tweets from my SIL. So I opted out of those.

So come tweet with me! I'd be happy to send you an invite and you can see for yourself. (I dont like Facebook as much, but am also happy to send you an invite to Facebook too.)

DJ isnt....

spoiled is he? (gasp)
