Hey, all!

Yeah, yeah, I know, it's been awhile since I've posted, but just plain ole busy around here. To start off the month, we celebrated my daughter's 25th birthday with a big backyard/pool party. She said she invited all her facebook friends! Lucky for us they didn't all show up, but there was still a pretty big crowd. We made most of the food, which included dozens and dozens of cupcakes. I wish I had pics, but I'm still waiting for her to upload them, grrr. I think the last of the guests left around 2am. I'm glad she had a wonderful time.

Just this last weekend we went to Las Vegas. I hadn't been there in such a long time, it's not that far (well, not really, about a 5 hour drive), but I just didn't have the interest to visit. Now, I want to go back!! We saw Jersey Boys, great show!! The weekend went by so fast; we walked, shopped, ate and just basically hung out at the lounge and listened to good music. I didn't gamble, not my thing, maybe that's why I never bothered to go, but there is so much more to do than gamble. Oh yeah, but you still need to bring a lot of cash!! Here's our view out the window.

I'm tired of my curtains in my kitchen, so I've decided to make new ones. I had this idea to make matching curtains and table cloth. I went to Cost Plus Worldmarket and bought two tablecloths, one is going to be the curtains.

This is going to be such a simple project, I don't know why I haven't finished it yet!

Enjoy the weekend!

Happy Birthday, Ange!

Today is my daughter's 23rd birthday. (yeah, I'm old) Just a shout out, I don't think she knows I blog, but I couldn't let this day go by without saying "happy birthday". She's planning a pool and bbq party for this Saturday and has invited around 30 people. Okay, ..... yikes!

Today I won an ebay auction of these cute Mexican Motifs for kitchen and breakfast nook. I've wanted for a long time and now I can't wait until I receive them. Hopefully it won't take me forever to embroider them like everything else in my life!

Woohoo, she's a college grad!

I've been absent for the past few weeks because it has been a whirlwind month for us. Our beautiful daughter graduated last Thursday from Cal State Long Beach and it is a been a big event for us! We couldn't have been more proud to see her walk up the stage to receive her diploma! It is a day that we will always remember and keep in our hearts.

We had a party for her on Saturday and in spite of the "June gloom" weather we all had a great time. I wish I could explain the emotions I felt to see her happy that day with her family, friends, co-workers, and those that have known her since whe was a "little one", just to see her so happy, laughing and enjoying the day was worth everything! Even spending the day before with her shopping for food, drinks, decorations, the cake, and having lunch together -- I can see she was looking forward to this special day that she so deserved!
