Today I am....cough....cough...choke....

forty years old....

Austin got me a wonderful little fan on a necklace at the Dollar Spot at Target. I also received 2 fireplace lighters (huh??? I'm still confused about it). The kids also got me a Rachel Ray cookbook. From my mom I received some BBQ accessories and some moulah to buy a new knife set. Mark had bought me a new Weber grill before Mothers Day!!!!

For my birthday, my family and I went up to Santa Cruz and went on a train ride at Roaring Camp Railroads. It was fun. We rode up to the top of Bear Mountain and it was a beautiful and sunny day.


Last Saturday, I bought and adorable childrens rocking chair at a garage sale for ten bucks, and then my mom and I sewed a little cushion set for it......

Here's Ryleigh saying "YUCK, this thing is hard as a rock!"

And here she is showing off the new cushion....it matches a wall hanging that I made during the wait.....


I've been quiet this week...I went back to work (sort of). While I've been out we've meen minus a full time Administrative Assistant in our office, and we finally hired one. A GREAT one!!! I went in this week to train and give her a little bit of an orientation. She's wonderful! I return to work "for real" on July 3rd!!

We're going to go camping on the 20th in South Lake Tahoe (anyone of my lurkers live there???) for 6 nights or so and we can't wait!!!!

I'm not all that far behind you on that particular birthday...sputter, gag. Ahhh, age IS just a number (or so I keep telling myself).

Ryleigh will have a much more comfy bum sitting on her cute chair cushion!

Happy Birthday!
