What I did this weekend...

Yesterday (Saturday) was the annual Rotary Crabfeed! I always look forward to it, I LOVE crab! We spent the evening with 1100 other people who enjoy it too! It is a fundraiser for our community. The Rotary uses the money for many great causes!
I don't eat the chowder, but Les loves the chowder!He will eat some crab but, focuses more on the soup! Our table was filled with Les for State Senate Supporters. We handed out campaign buttons and it was fun to see soooo many around the room!
Today (Sunday) Les had our friend Crazy Louie stand on the road near our church and pretend to be a homeless man. He had a cardboard sign which said HUNGRY, one of the men from our church passed him and then stopped his car, walked back to talk to him and invited him to come and have breakfast with us. He came and stayed in character and was wonderfully received by our church family. This was how it is supposed to be! This is how it is at our church! We went to Mary's Pizza with Louie afterwards!
Then the hard part of the day had come...It was time to go to Kim's house for the Going Away Party...David and Aleah leave tomorrow at noon for San Francisco. From there they will eventually end up in their new home in the Dominican Republic. They are going as long term International Workers which is the new name for Missionaries The plan is that they will be there for about 18 months before they come home for a visit. I am so excited for them but, I know how hard it will be for Kim & Les to be away from them for such a long time. I tried very hard not to be emotional when I told them good-bye but, I didn't succeed. Sorry Aleah, but you know you have been so special to us and I really will miss knowing that you are here in town! I will do my best to take good care of your Mama but I know she will miss you so much!
All in all it was a good weekend...now on to the weekdays! (it is supposed to rain this week!)

I'm Back!!!!

With a suggestion from my wonderful son, Matt and a bunch of looking around, I am so proud to say that I figured out how to get my blog back to a more traditional look!!!
Yayeeeeeee!
We are going to the Rotary Crab feed this evening! I love crab and it will be fun to be surrounded by so many people who are supportive of Les and his bid for the office of California State Senate!
Well....I will try and post some pics of the crabfeed tonight.

A good Friday the 13th

I have always enjoyed the 13th when it is on a Friday ! Today was a good day of scrapbooking with my cuz & dinner & a play with my BFF+ hubbies !!!
Charlie Brown was very popular when I was in 8th grade. I even got a C.B pillow case that year for my birthday! The play brought back many memories & Charlie hasn't aged at all... Unlike some of us !!! You Are A GOOD Man Charlie Brown!

Birthday Dinner!

We drove to Williams last night to have dinner with the Watson family. We celebrated our 10 year old granddaughter Lydia's birthday!
We met at Grandzella's and had a very yummy dinner (Lydia, Les & I shared a medium meat lovers pizza! Mmm.)
Lydia opened her gifts and when dinner was over we went to the Gelato shop inside Grandzella's and the kids & I had 3 flavored of gelato... Lemoncello, choc chip & cheesecake !!! We shared many bites and Lydia & Des even traded! Mmmmmmm!!!
We had a very enjoyable evening
Thanks for including us!!! Have a wonderful birthday sleepover Lydia!
We love you!

Lydia's Day!

Somehow I have changed my settings on my laptop blog! I can't post on it or anything... I will be mobile posting until I can get it back to normal!!!
Today is Lydia's Golden Birthday she is 10 on the 10th!!! She is turning into a very talented gymnast & a gold medal big sister! I have really enjoyed being more in touch with her since Christmas! Her I touch has been great fun and FaceTime is wonderful! Happy birthday Lydia! Can't believe you are a decade old! Where has the time gone?
You were such a cute baby but you are becoming a beautiful girl! Love you

The 2012 Adventure!

2012 is going to be a wonderful adventure! There are so many things that will be happening, A Beautiful Wedding in April...State Senate Primary in June...My first political campaign...A trip with Riley & Melissa to Washington D.C. in September and then November will be the big election! All of this plus the day to day things that we do just to get to all of these adventures! I am looking forward to each day! I am going to attempt to get back to my blog more often just so that I can keep track of what we have been doing and so that my family and friends will know what I am doing!!! Figuring our how to attach photos will be one of my goals. I used to be able to do it but, I have lost the ability to do it easily! I look forward to blogging in 2012!

It's a wacky world!

Daisy has always acted more like a cat than a dog...now instead of having puppies she is mother to a kitten! This is Peaches and she thinks that Daisy is her Mommy...a picture is worth a thousand words! (And yes Daisy has milk!)
