BACKUP .... important info & photos!!

Tis' a sad sad story .... ripped my heart out! and a bit scary too!!! ALL my photos (over 4,000) disappeared, as well as my tax information and financial stuff. My harddrive literally disappeared ~~ fried ~~ gone ~~ forever!! oh my oh my!!! It's a sad day!! I know it could be worse, lesson learned!! so learn from my stupidity and mistakes. m

let there be LIGHT!!

 
 
 
 
I firmly believe that YOU CANNOT HAVE ENOUGH lights! I happened into a light store today and it was if I had walked into Willie Wonka's Chocolate factory. I walked around dazed. Prices all over the board. Wow ~ let there be light! I also firmly believe if you can install a chandlier in your laundry room ~~ DO IT!! & if you can install a girly frilly chandlier above your tub ~~ DO IT!! I had fun .... XOXO, m

the 3 H's

YES! that can be Hazy, Hot and Humid ... and it can be Hot, Hotter & Hottest ... living through it ... hope you all have a great day! and BTW, the computer is ill and will probably be diagonosed soon and I'll be more regular at posting photos. Just another transition. love, m

dinner party ... for 3 ... last night!!

 
okay, let me clarify I DO NOT KNOW many people in my new location! Therefore, when darlin' D said he'd like to invite over his bosses (because one of them and his family are also relocating from TN) ... I said 'sure, why not!' with a smile on my face. Little did I know it would be 108 degrees .. no biggy!! I decided to scout out my local area ~ and what to my wondering eyes should appear ~~~> Glicks meat market! located off Goshen Road - 2 lights past the Rawhides Baseball stadium. Oh my ... oh my! the prices are excellent, and the tastes is superbly excellent!! I now know where I'll be purchasing my Christmas steaks!! had to share. It was a great evening! when everyone is relocated we'll get the families together! have a great Wednesday! m

olive TREES ....

 
 
I could barely stand it ... FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE ... I saw olive TREES! so here are the trees and up close of the olives ~~~ the fruit! Doug and I drove up to the Sequioa Park ... lovely drive however; still very very hot! 110 degrees.

FRUITs ... how many & what????

 
 
 
FYI .... truly it is harvest season ~~> fruit that is!! look at Arnie's peaches ALL HARVESTED from one tree! and sooooooo very deliciously. Miss Mary and her hubby, Arnie, invited us over for supper. What a treat! and when you don't know ANYONE, it's truly wonderful to be included. Carissa (sp?) is their youngest ... and just beautiful! she will be a freshman and school starts Aug 17 ... exactly one month away. back to the topic: FRUIT!! how many do you eat EACH DAY???? & what fruit is your favO'rite? I personally love love love peaches, nectarines, cherries and WATERMELON!!! BTW, I normally DO NOT blog on Saturday's but this happened last night and I wanted to post it posthaste!! and ... Arnie gave Doug some excellent suggestions for 'fieldtrips'. Those of YOU that know me, know I always have a filefolder full of ideas/suggestions of roadtrips and fieldtrips! the journey continues!! have a great day, m
