Erin & Gracie

A few weekends ago my friend Erin came up for a visit, and she brought along Charlie's pal Gracie.

We had a great time together and the weather was beautiful! We hiked Garland Ranch out in Carmel Valley where the pups had a swim in the murky pond (Charlie's new to the whole swimming thing so I don't really care where he swims - it still amazes me!) and then we took them down to the beach where they chased each other in the waves.


The rest of the weekend was spent lounging around the house, barbecuing, watching movies and just hanging out.

It was great to have our friends visit for a few days!

I is for Apple


I remember the day I swore I'd never have a cell phone.

Then I got a cell phone but I swore I'd never use it.

Now we don't even have a land line and I have all the modern conveniences (and more) available on my phone.

Lovin it!

Peonies

Are back!

Another reason I LOVE Trader Joe's.

Free Coffee!

We've had some really great times the past few weeks and I am realizing how long its been since I've logged in. I'll catch myself up eventually, but for now let's talk about coffee!

Jason's parents hid some mulaa in the house after their visit last week...sneaky!

Sold our old coffee maker for $15 on craigslist even though it stopped keeping our coffee warm - yes, I made sure the buyer was aware...

Found a coupon for 20% off...

Sent away for our $10 mail in rebate...

And that means FREE COFFEE (maker) and hot coffee for hours!

This morning I am enjoying a cup as I sit by the window on my Friday off :)

Oh how I wish this was an actual photo of our kitchen...LOVE the wall paper!
