Out of Nowhere

Just prior to the "trip" I spotted this license plate as we drove down Tubbs Lane in Calistoga.

How crazy is that?

Birthday Shout Out

Happy Birthday to my Favorite Little Cowboy!

Parting is such sweet sorry

The anticipation is part of the fun;

The end is the hardest part when it is time to say good bye;

But what's in the middle keeps us coming back for more!

Enjoy!!

(And no I'm not getting a new car........but it doesn't hurt to test drive!)

Reality

We are back from a long weekend in New Mexico!

Time passes too quickly when spent with the grans

and this trip was no different!

Please stay tuned.....

More about our trip tomorrow........

Empty Nesters

We've been empty nesters now for almost nine years (had to stop and do some counting on that one). But our home is really not empty what with our lively life with the girls! But they have been away at "summer camp" now for over a week. It is crazy how empty our house is without them. Our home is very "girl" proof but now we can leave gates open and doors open with no worries. We can leave home without worry of being gone too long.......they don't like to left home alone. It is just sooooooo empty here.........I can't live like this! It is time to come home from camp ladies...............there is work to be done!

Keeping the gophers at bay!
