Let the Sun Shine In!

Hi all,
Today the sun will be shining brightly on all of us (here in CA anyways). Soak it in!

-- Do something fun outside.
-- Plant some flowers.
-- Go for a walk.
-- Soak in some rays.
-- Take some spring photos.
-- Have a BBQ.
-- Walk your dog.
-- Have a picnic.
-- Play hopscotch.
-- Ride a bike or unicycle.
-- Listen to the birds chirp.

I am so looking forward to the warmth of the sun and all it offers.
Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Uncle Sam

Hi all,
Happy April 15 -- unforgettably it's tax day!
I hope you all get tons of $$$$ in return.
If that's the case, spoil yourself and a loved one. It's always fun to splurge and get some enjoyment out of life.
Happy Day,
V

New Things

-Working my new job in shipping/receiving accepting FedEx packages

It's another Monday!

TGIF

So very glad it's Friday. Ready to hit happy hour with my friend, pick up my hubby from the airport and have a fabulous weekend (and Easter).
It's been a stressful week at work -- one of good-byes, restructuring, moving, cleaning, training and starting over.
I'm hoping Monday will be a positive new start of half days.
Enjoy this day!

Spring Days

With spring upon us, I was able to enjoy some local wine events this weekend. A group of friends went wine tasting in Livermore at McGrails and then attended a barrel tasting at Hannah Nicole Vineyards. Both functions were tons of fun; lots of friends showed up and it was great to catch up.

Peanut had an after party where everyone continued to socialize, eat and drink. The weather was perfect for a late night outside.

Check back tomorrow -- I will post photos.

Enjoy this Monday,

Colors

I have truly been enjoying my garden lately -- not only for therapy but for exercise and spring sprucing. All my weeds are gone; my bushes are trimmed; the lawn is fertilized and edged. Now I will start planting flowers in pots and adding some much deserved color.

Gardening is a matter of your enthusiasm holding up until your back gets used to it. ~Author Unknown

Enjoy this day,
