This is what you must have to fend off the "dreariness" of another rainy day. Beef Barley soup, whole wheat toast, iced tea, and a sweater I stole from my Tall Friend Amy as she was leaving town.
And yes...I know I should not be eating in the studio. Get over it.
It's a pot-luck of pictures today. This is everything that was on my camera. Now I can start fresh with summer fun now that the children are HOME!!!
I don't really care. It doesn't make any difference to me at all. I haven't watched a single game. But when I read that the Lakers beat the Spurs and lead the series 3-1 I knew my friend Denise would be upset. So this is just a little Spurs CHEER from Idaho. (and Denise...I'm crossing my fingers for you!)
The children have gone off to Colorado for a week of fun with the Grandp's. First stop, Grandma and Grandpa Mort's house. Today they took a picnic and headed to one of my favorite places, Rifle Falls.
I last fished Silver Creek in the Colorado Rockies over 11 years ago... I went back yesterday.
The last time I fished it, I was the news editor of the Mountain Mail in Salida, Colo., and Liza and I were childless, and about five months away from leaving Colorado for California. Now, we've got two great kids and life is good...
Thankfully, Silver Creek is, too...
It was a lovely day. I got some flowers and some T-Shirts and some matching earrings from my Tall Friend Amy. My lovely Mother-In-Law sent me a cool heart rate monitor that is great for working out (I burned 782 calories at my workout today) My Mommy sent me some shiney copper bracelets and some beautiful bowls with sheep on them. (I do love things with sheep on them!) Chris and the babies had my car detailed and when we went to pick it up it was not acceptable. So we were very brave and took it back and said "do it again!" It looks very nice now and I love a clean car!
We went to the chinese place for dinner and had the whole place to ourselves...bought a lottery ticket with our lucky fortune cookie numbers, scratched a ticket and won $10!!!
Mrs. Nelson just came by with a large print book (LOL) called Everyday Greatness. It has inspirational quotes and stories and I love it.
Wayne took me out to lunch for a chicken sandwich at Rupes and I drank a gallon of iced tea. Doesn't that sound like a great birthday/
Oh, and I stopped by the bank only to find my friends singing and bearing gifts. (I love living in Idaho Falls - and I love my friends!)
