Sweet Day

How I wish everyday was like this one.

No school, no meetings, everyone getting along, sunny skies. My kids served me breakfast(Peanut Butter with flax seeds on toast), in bed...well, except for Cody, who was too engrossed in Super Hero cartoons. Then we headed out to a nearby trail & did 3 miles.  After exercise, we went to the town of San Juan Capistrano. I love this place. There are some great little shops, some have Mexican folk art, some antiques, etc. & lots of cool restaurants there. There is also this little historic street by the railroad tracks, with old houses & lovely plants, & the occasional rooster walking around....

Retreat

I am back from a weekend get away in the Palomar mountains(near San Diego).  So I sometimes have reservations about going on trips like this. You know...ice breakers, sometimes awkward "spill your guts" sessions, shacking up with a lot of people, crammed into close quarters. Ha ha. But I like to make myself get out of my comfort zone every now & then & just do it.  Anyway, it ended up being fun, had some good conversations, met some new people, went hiking...even went on the zip line(which I was pretty scared to do).  The interesting thing about the whole place was when I got there, I realized I had been there 20 years ago, at high school summer camp with my church.  So we would be at certain spots in the camp, & I would be having flash backs of hanging out there before, all those crazy years ago.

Emerson

Hello.  Here is my new girl, Emerson.  I still have a few finishing touches(like finishing her hair in the back). Thought I would show her though...
