Here's what I spend most of my time doing...

I've been photographing my son & his high school swim team this month....and then editting and setting up a photo site for all the swimmers on his team to access the photos for their own use...It's been a labor of love...

The Big Game Night

My daughter's choir sang the National Anthem for the opening of the Grizzlies baseball game one night this month....and our parish priest, Father Rob, threw in the ceremonial first pitch. The girls ate corn dogs, the mommies drank cold beer, and the night ended with a Fireworks Show...WooHoo

Taking a Field Trip

My Friend, Suzelle, & I followed the bus carrying our 4th graders on their 1st BIG Field Trip of Elementary School. We left at 5am and returned at 5pm-BOY, what a day!!! A tour of a Gallion Ship in Monterey followed by the tour of Mission San Juan Bautista-Fun was had by us all....

Classic Cheese Souffle for dinner

I have been baking a lot recently-had to try out a couple of new recipes from one of my latest food magazines: Classic Cheese Souffle and Coconut cake with Mascarpone & lime frosting-YUM!

Scrapbooking!

I Love this Tea Party Memory.....and

Acrylic Mini Albums are a great way to use all sorts embellishments like Rub-ons, Ribbons, Ink, Felt flowers & Rhinestones

Finally Finished a couple of Knitting Projects

Well, I've been knitting weekly all winter long, and have managed to finish two projects: my 1st ever mittens-a little lumpy, I know....and the super long opera scarf in cheery sherbet colors & not at all itchy cotton fiber...

April Crafting with the Good Things Girls

This month was a paper crafting project...

with a little glitter & ribbon thrown in for embellishment...fun!

I was in charge of the evening's

dessert, since it was at my house :)

Why have 1 kind when 3 or even 4

desserts could be consumed?

So, Rose infused panna cotta,

Lemon squares with coconut crust,

& puff pastry filled with lemon creme.

Off to the side there, is a tray

of the cookies I saw win Best Cookie recipe on the food network bake off- they are Exotic spice with Rose water & cardamon...Yummy!!!

Wonder Valley here we are...

Woo-hoo!!

Audra rides Lacey,

Aunt Ardelle's horse....

in the spring weather & this pretty foothills area....
