Summer Concert!

Summer Concert 2015
My best friend from college invited me to a Summer Concert downtown tomorrow!  We went last year and had sooooo much fun!

BUT, we are not "Summer Concert" regulars, so we are going to do it right this year.  :)  Last year, most people brought what I would call "Fancy, Summer Concert in the Park" food--wines, cheeses, delicious appetizers, etc.  It was such a fun experience--the Latin music playing in the background, a full dance floor (with us on it most of the time!), people sitting at tables enjoying their fancy food and beverages.  It looked so festive!

We, however, had a bottle of water.  Period.  :)  So THIS YEAR we are more well-versed in Summer Concert protocols, and we will participate fully in the festive atmosphere!

I told my friend that I would bring the food.  So I was contemplating the menu today, and I think I've selected a few things:

  • Caprese Salad a la Carmela (mine is not the traditional version)
  • Turkey Curry Wraps  (I LOVE curry!)
  • Fresh fruit and berry salad (IF I can find good quality fruit)
  • good quality crackers, cheese, and wine (I'll go to Trader Joe's today)
  • maybe some simple, good ol' chocolate chip cookies
We can pick and choose from that.  Plus, my friend said she'll bring some stuff, too.

I'll take pictures and post them next week.

I think that's it for today!  Short and sweet!

Missing You

We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Another Layout

Credits here . Can you tell how I've been spending my free time :) I had the most fun taking these pictures! I just asked Ashley to tell me a story (she is quite the storyteller and quite the drama queen--she takes after her aunt, lol!) . As she was telling her GREAT story, I just used the "continuous" mode in the fancy, shmancy camera and shot away. Went to Seal Beach today with Teena . So fun and relaxing. Why don't I have pictures to share? Ummm, I kind of forgot the CF card (to store the pictures on) at home. That's only the second time in less than a week that I've done that. Aren't you proud of me?! In case any of you were wondering, yes, I am a total "spaz." :)
