So, the really hilarious thing about my last blog is that I accidentally published it on the Gold Coast Lady Anglers blog instead of my own. I laughed so hard I almost wee wee'd my pants! What a dork.

Jennifer, We are having Aiden story withdrawals AND we want to see pictures of the kitchen.

Matt got home today from camping on Santa Cruz island. That's what he wanted to do for his birthday, since he's starting at Nordtroms tomorrow. He couldn't get anybody to go with him so he went by himself. He left Saturday morning and got back home this morning. He reported all the envious details. Packing 1 mile up a Eucalyptus grove to the camp site. He hiked to the other side of the island, scouting where he wanted to snorkle etc. Unfortunately he broke his sling on his pole spear so no fish for him. He did have great snorkling, though. The only food he brought with him was a loaf of bread and some PB&J. Works! He said his favorite place on the island is the campsite, laying under the stars with the aroma from eucalypus trees, with out a care in the world. Sounds like a great Birthday. I am so happy that he "gets" what the finer things in life are.

Furcal

Just kidding. I still love the L.A. Dodgers! Go Furcal!

Go Dodgers!

Dani and I went to the Dodger game today. I'd like to say we had a great time. I suppose if you ignore the fact that it was 210 degrees and being in the stadium was like being in a cauldron, or the family directly behind us (and I mean directly: stadium seating tends to make neighbors, close relatives by the end of the game) who had vocal cords that would put Pavarotti to shame, or perhaps the very large, Prada sunglass, pig fingered (as Dani pointed out), hat wearing women in between us and the home plate. If we could ignore all that, we certainly couldn't ignore the entire beer that "Pavarotti family" dumped on Dani. But if we could, it would have been a great time. Lets get real. The dodger dogs ($5.75) are still sitting in my stomach. The Parmasean/bleu fries were pretty good but definitely not in 210 degree weather. Really, the best parts of the day was when Dani (drenched in beer) said lets go, and the water ( $5.25). So When I say "Go Dodgers". I really mean it . Go (back to Brooklyn) Dodgers!

Happy Thursday

I, also, have a life! Here are some recent pictures from it. Dani's team is 3 and 2 and she made a grand slam to win the game today. We ate Alaskan king crab to celebrate. It was the hit that mercied the other team. Oh, Baby!!!! Also, I've included pics of dizzy on a recent hike and the one on the sofa was NOT set up with props. She is so cute.

The other big thing in my life is that we are in escrow. I have my eye on a mobile home here in Carp. It has a great location, otherwise I wouldn't consider a "doublewide". It backs up to the Carpinteria cemetery (I love cemeteries. Kinda weird, I know.) on two sides and has an ocean/island peek from the front room. I could pay cash for it and have very low living expenses. Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards!

I am taking Matt on a fishing trip in May on my favorite vessel. I have learned that some "boats" are actually "vessels". And then, of course, there are ships! You can offend just about every boat owner by calling their boat by the wrong name. You can also look very ignorant to the people who relate to life on the briny sea. I'm learning.

We have had some Birthdays! Katie on the 18th, me on the 19th and Matt on the 29th.

Oh, and Jennifer, just to let you know, you have always been the standard that I strive to reach to be a good person. Just to let you know.

Happy Thursday!

Full price offer

What do ya know! The first people to see our house made a full price offer. It's contingent on them selling their house, though. Who knows, maybe it will work out! Then what........!
