Summer 2018


Here are some more random pictures from this summer. :)  This is Mount Peavine with the moon above.  I took this shot while walking Max one evening.



We had Papa Vern and Papa Tastet over for a birthday meal.  Corned beef and cabbage, mashed potatoes and noodle gravy, corn on the cob, rolls and Oreo cheesecake.  Yum!  Papa Vern brought me these beautiful flowers!!



New house number sign for our house that my husband did.


Just goofing around with the girls. :)


Zucchini pie - one of my favorite zucchini recipes!


Krista from our church made this delicious dessert for our family and dropped it off as a surprise!


Working hard on school - third grade. :)

Flowers in my raised bed - they haven't bloomed but they are growing well.


Always relaxing to sit by the fire in the evening.


Passing out invites for our Friend Day!


Making sandwiches for our picnic for Friend Day - enough to share with others.  I made the sandwiches with layers of meat and cheese.  I put all the toppings in small containers.  Then I cut the subs into small size portions and slid them right back in the bag the bread came in.  Everyone was able to make their sandwich according to how they liked it.


Another wedding at Lake Tahoe - Edgewood Golf Resort.




End of Friend Day - hanging out with some of the teen girls.


It was a very warm summer for sure.  And we are still having 90 degree days in September.  Ready for fall!


Treats for our teen girls' Bible study. :)


Birthday meal at Olive Garden for our oldest, Addie.  She turned 15 on August 2nd.



Food that screams summer - ripe cantaloupe and breaded zucchini - yum!

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
