Tahoe – Rubicon Trail to Emerald Bay Hike

As expected, it’s just glorious up here in Lake Tahoe. We’re staying in Incline Village for 5 days with our good friends Greg and Dianna. There is still quite a bit of snow up on the mountaintops making almost every view simply gorgeous. The crisp, clean air just makes the colors seem much more vivid [...]

Beach Toy Advice

I have a feeling we’re going to be making quite a few trips to the beach this summer if we’ll have as much fun as we had this past weekend. Here in Northern California the weather at the coast can be hit or miss in the summertime – you can have a gorgeous sunny day [...]

Boy’s Game Night

I must say, my Grandsons are just so much FUN right now! Westly is just chatting up a storm lately and Hunter, well, he’s just the absolute handsome angel that you see in these photos. I often get a bit jealous that Pops is retired and can spend so much more time with them just [...]

Gardening Season Begins…

and I’m so ready…YAHOO!!! Finally, our weather is becoming “Spring-Like” and I’m just loving my mornings out in the garden. Here’s a few shots of what’s blooming so far: It’s truly unbelievable how quickly the weather has changed. We had 22 out of 25 days of rain in March. I know my yard has enjoyed [...]

Plane Food Plan

Yes, we flew to Hawaii today..phew we made it even after all my guilty-feelings and preparations. Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support. I’ll admit it takes me a bit to get motivated to go somewhere, but I’m NEVER sorry once I get there. I can tell this trip will be no different! Since it’s [...]

Tulips

Even though I’m a tad bit manic today trying to prepare and pack for our upcoming trip, I thought I’d take a sec to share some photos of the tulips Pops brought me on our anniversary. I love that he got me flowers I can plant in the ground and enjoy for years to come [...]

Confessions of a Guilty Traveler

I have something to confess…. For all my efforts at making our household greener and more eco-friendly, I fail terribly in one specific area – TRAVEL. I do feel a lot of guilt about this. Unlike my normal reaction to guilt this guilt does nothing to move me to change this behavior. It all began [...]

Cure for the Blahs…

It’s true, last week was pretty blah for me, but, today… I found the cure. It’s these 3 guys…Westly, Pops & Hunter. Pops loves to take these two monkeys to the park on Saturday mornings. I felt like today, Bubba & I had to show up unexpectedly and invade their “boy” time to join in [...]

Fabulous Friday

Using the word “fabulous” in the title is my secret way of trying to uplift myself today. Sorry, I’ve been a slack blogger this week…I kind of have the blahsssssssss….. AND I can find no reason why! Which, I suppose, is a good thing. I started trying to figure out “what’s going on”, “what could [...]

Winter Weekend in San Francisco

Happy Super Bowl Sunday!! Though the “big” fun we had this weekend had nothing to do with watching the big game, I hope all of you are having fun cheering for your favorite team – hopefully with a big crew of friends and lots of high calorie snacks. Our “big” fun this weekend was heading [...]

Ciao Texas

Today, we left Texas. I’m sure we’ll be back soon. We had a fun trip and loved seeing and catching up with family! Tomorrow, back to reality…and oh yeah….work :) Happy Tuesday, ~ Lita

Ft. Worth Stock Show

Because we’re here, and the Ft. Worth Stock Show is going on today, we headed there for the afternoon. I’ll share a bit of it with you now…and much, much more later. I really got a big kick out of a lot of the signage around the show. There’s lots of Texas pride here – [...]

You know you’re in Texas when….

You know you’re in Texas when chocolate is combined with Bacon: Day 2 in Texas started with a java, a bit of Twitter and then a lovely pedicure and manicure…trust me, though it’s winter my tootsies needed it! Sorry, you probably didn’t really want to see a photo of my feet, but today, there wasn’t [...]

Texas Visit – Day 1

Day 1 has been very relaxing so far. Happy to say, Pop’s mom, Mimi (yes, our youngest daughter is named after her) is doing well at 90 years of age. She’s a real Southern lady and still makes it to the beauty parlor every week to have her hair and nails done. She also always [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Holiday of Lights Fun

Earlier this week, Pops and I took Mimi, Hunter and Westly to Gilroy Gardens Holiday of Lights. It was a chilly night here (no, not compared to the rest of the country), but we kept super warm laughing and having fun with the boys. Here are some photos from the fun: Let’s just keep the [...]

Wordless Wednesday – All Bubba

All Bubba All THE Time Photo shot by our friend Wendy Photo shot by our friend Greg Bubba hiking in the rain – wearing his Mickie Mouse raincoat Photo shot again by our friend Greg Another sweet shot taken by Wendy And, finally, Bubba “action dog” leaping for Wendy’s son Daniel ~ Lita

Wordless Wednesday – Holiday Colors

One of my Christmas trees is decorated in blue and white….. and one in red and gold. Both seem equally magical to me. Happy Holidays ~ Lita

Wordless Wednesday – Santa Baby

Santa Baby This is what it looks like when you set a Santa hat on a tired bulldog!

Christmas Parade

There’s one thing the little town I live in does big… CHRISTMAS! It began last night with the annual town center tree lighting and caroling. After which we started a new tradition at our house of having friends over for homemade soup. I made the potato soup from the recipe I posted a few weeks [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Ranch Beach

Just a quiet little beach to walk on…aaahhh

Ranch Protea Garden

Here, at the Ranch, our friend Larry has a parcel that has been in his family since the early 70s. His Uncle, after visiting the Blue Mountains in Australia and seeing the beautiful protea plants growing there, decided the climate at this Ranch parcel was similar. Larry’s uncle, after returning from Australia, began an incredible [...]
