Taco Tuesday




Last night we gathered with some friends to attend Taco Tuesday at the Oarwood Resort. It was located near a marina; a small hole in the wall, this place had a good menu, some mean tacos, great specials on drinks, karokee, some vintage cars, and a great group of people. We can tell it was a popular hang-out and a great meeting place for boaters, motorcycles, and common folk like ourselves.
We are sure to return.

Beating the Heat


Hi all,

Since it was 110 in Antioch on Sunday, we decided to beat the heat and visit San Francisco. The temperature was about 40 degrees cooler in the city.


We had a great time walking along the piers and admiring the crystal clear view of the bay bridge and the goings-on in the ocean with all the sail boats and cruisers.


We made a jont over to Golden Gate Park where we listened to some music, admired the Japenese Tea Garden, and peeked in on the Botanical Garden. I love that area - it always has something different to offer. There happened to be an AIDS Walk during our visit. Tons of supporters, walkers, and activities.


I love visiting San Francisco.

Sun City Carnival Tour


Howdy,

The time has come and passed - the Sun City Carnival Tour visited San Francisco. This is the world famous yearly Kenny Chesney (and friends) concert. This year the performers were Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert and Kenny Chesney. Sugarland was scheduled to perform but the lead singers voice was shot and they had to cancel. We were all bummed!


Nonetheless, the concert was very good. Kenny always brings in the crowd! His show is electrifying, energetic, and powerful. Every song he sings is or has been popular; everyone knows the words and everyone sings along. He's a great entertainer!

Erin was kind enough to drive so we all exchanged stories in the car. It was great meeting her friends Sherie and Brittney. Thanks Erin for being our personal driver.


We will all look forward to next years tour.


When the sun goes down, I'll be groovin,

Senorita Margarita


Hola,

Friday was my first Senorita Margarita Party hosted by Erin! All us girls had so much fun. We had a chance to buy some Cookie Lee jewelry and some Mary Kay products. There was even a door prize (YEAH - Monica won!)

The margaritas (even the virgin ones) were super yummy! There were some mexican appetizers, an ice cream cake and some brownies.

We finished off the night with some karokee - the teens present had some powerful voices.

After our departure, we headed for the golden arches for a late night snack.

Adios,
V

True Love


Hi all,
Today is my parent's 57th wedding anniversary. This is a marriage of true devotion, love, honesty, and dedication.


I am fortunate to have such loving, caring, and devoted parents. All my life we have been one strong family unit. I treasure all the lessons learned, all the roads travelled, all the special memories, all the time they unselfishly devoted to their grandkids (my girls), all the family culture, and most of all, all the love.
I am blessed and love my parents more each day. They are a great example for me and I cherish their existence.


Love and hope,
Veronique
