- Catch a movie ("The Proposal")

- Listen to some music in the park

- Meet some good friends that I haven't seen in forever for lunch

- Go for a hike

- Visit a winery

- Hug/kiss my daughter

- Clean house

- Go to my Saturday spin class

- Pick up my hubby from the airport

- Enjoy Father's Day

I hope everyone will be enjoying the outdoors this weekend and soaking in some rays - isn't it great to live in California! I love it!

Enjoy,

Do

Howdy,
I got my hair cut yesterday - a new do was in order. I will post a photo at some point this week.

Greg is still treking thru Yellowstone and has been sending me random samplings of pictures along the way (see above). Although it's pouring rain, he is still enjoying his journey.

Have a good day.

Nature's Beauty

Hi all,

Greg is still enjoying his trip in Yellowstone and reports in daily with some snapshots of the beauty and luster the park has to offer. The nearing mountains are still covered with snow; the geyers are still errupting like clockwork; and the animals are still enjoying the best land on earth. Wish we could all have the beauty of nature in our lives.

Saddles and The Wild Blue Yonder

Hi all,
This weekend was full of fun. I started off by attending a graduation party -- what I wouldn't give to be 17 again; having a lifetime ahead of promise, possibilities, and purpose. It seems like just yesterday that my girls graduated high school yet once just graduated college; yet again, time escapes us.

Sunday I went to the Livermore Rodeo - the worldest fastest rodeo. This event is always full of horses, dirt, Americans, flags, cowboys and cowgirls, corndogs, malts, and a lot of interesting people. This year they event had frisbee chasing dogs; very exciting to watch. Of course everyone's favorite event is the bull riding. It's amazing what happens in 8 seconds. This rodeo is a yearly event that I attend and each year the talent just keeps getting better and better.

I have been missing Greg -- he is in Yellowstone for the first time; attached are some photos he's taken along his journey. Although it's pouring rain there, he's managing to see tons of wildlife. I can't wait for him to get home.

Tally ho,

V

Things

If you haven't got all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have, that you don't want.

Fresh Air

So glad to be back amongst the living. The last two days Greg and I were down for the count with a bad case of the stomach flu. I think we are on the mend; now feeling 100% better. Beware! It's out there -- don't get caught with it.

On a happier note, I was able to visit and cuddle with this cutie of a kitten that is being raised by a friend who fosters animals. This little bell was so adorable with it's beautiful markings and crystal blue eyes. If you know anyone that would love to adopt, please let me know.

More importantly -- HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dear friend Lori. I miss you terribly and can't wait to celebrate in Vegas soon. You are loved and missed more than ever. Cheers!

Enjoy this day,
V

Peace

Every single day I pray for peace in the world.
