We gathered to celebrate a very special birthday lady. Our friend, mother, grandmother & mother- in- law turned 89 years old. We are all so blessed by her life. This woman is a dear friend and support to me. I love her completely. |

| We took the train to Fresno and picked up the motor home. What a fun day we had. Of course, the kids are making jokes at our expense but they all are very interested in going with us traveling. |
 |
| Precious Son and his friend took turns behind the wheel. |
 |
| And our Cheeky Baby honked the horn too! |
 |
| I know that by tomorrow morning, Darling Husband will remove this sticker, so I had to get a picture of it while it is in place. |

Who could turn down such an invitation? Eating while in England is such a treat. People always tell us the food isn't good in England. Our experience after traveling there on five different trips has been that the food is very, very good. Steak and Ale Pie is my favorite. Don't even get me started on afternoon tea! The very best idea that has ever been put into practice. Yorkshire Tea and scones with jam at 3pm, you bet; count me in. |
| Hanging baskets filled with bright flowers are everywhere. The joy of never needing to water must be wonderful. |
 |
| I love that people name their homes. |
 |
 |
| Lunch at Jamie Oliver's restaurant in Oxford |
 |
| Mushroom, buffalo mozzarella cheese tart |
 |
| Pear, walnut, balsamic salad |
 |
 |
| Time to redo my back porch. |
 |
| I see a Crockett game in our future |
 |
| It is almost 100 degrees at home and yet I am so tempted to get firewood together! |
