What’s been going on around here lately

Summer has been flying by with nary a blog post from me! Here’s an update on what’s been going on around here:
BBQs with nephews
 



I heart yardsales

I’m a bargain gal.  Don’t get me wrong, I like the things I buy to be good quality and usually, preferably vintage, but there’s definitely a thrill from finding something fantastic for a deal.
Mike and I visited a few yard sales on Saturday. One in particular I was very excited about because it mentioned that there was [...]



More pics

I finally managed to look through most of my Yosemite pics last night and there were some I took as we were moving into our new place. I’m loving all of the roses.



My weekend in pictures

This past weekend was one of those fabulous, relaxing, yet productive weekends.
Starting out with a homemade, delicious latte. I noticed the little heart design in the foam after I took the picture.



Happy New Year!

Happy 2008! Hard to believe that I don’t have my flying car yet!

The status in San Diego

My mom was evacuated at 5:00 this morning and there are two separate fires within a mile or so of her house. The smoke [...]



Our Weekend in Food

Happy Monday everyone! I’m loving the feeling of fall in the air and cooking and making soups like crazy. I’ll probably post some new recipes soon.
 I think I’ve mentioned before that after much looking, I have not found any good gelato in San Diego. I’ve tried them all and after eating my fair share and probably some [...]



Gratitude

Thank you to all of you that posted comments and e-mailed me. I truly appreciate your reaching out. It’s wonderful to know that I can talk about the not-so-happy times honestly and be met with such understanding.
After a nice long and hot weekend I feel much better. I am a big believer in attracting what [...]



Snapshots of the weekend

 Mike and I decided to take a night away and stay at a hotel, which was a fun in-town getaway.
