11 year old Scouts

Mike had another weekend away. This time he was with 3 boys and another scruffy guy. At Camp Herms in Orinda, Ca. They woke up to a foggy 40 degree morning. Had workshops all day and the boys were able to pass off a few things. Mike was tired cuz the boys were insistent on gettin up at 5:30 am.

Friday night was Tin Foil Dinners.

Saturday Morning, sausage/egg McMuffins.

Lunch, Roast beef sanwiches. The Boys chose the menu.

Do you think I like Sweets or Something?

I enjoy a good dessert now and again. Okay more like NOW..... Mike doesn't care for dessert unless it's Chocolate. I prefer fruity medleys. So in order for us to both be happy and have our sweet fix. We've been trying some new desserts and sharing them with our Friends once a week. There are no pictures as to not make anyone jealous or left out. If we haven't invited you yet... it's probably because we didn't know if you liked dessert.

Memorial Day Outing

Delta dawn..... Went to the Antioch Delta at the butt crack of Dawn to go water skiing with the Hoggans. The water was chill at first jump but then after that it was nice. I used the boom to get up on the one ski! It is tons easier than the rope. Did good at getting my back foot in the ski and balancing while we were just getting going. Still having trouble in the turns....I've always had trouble in the turns. Mike drove the boat while Shaun was skiing. Ethan, Greg and Kara had fun skiing and kneeboarding.

**Pampering **

Every one needs a little pampering now and again. Today was so great. I woke up late and did a few chores. Planned out my day and out the door. So what makes it so wonderful. I had time to do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted..... Almost like being single.

Had so much Fun with the girls! I would have had pictures but there was no memory card in the Camera.... 6 of us total. Rockband was the highlight! I had fun, while mike is out of Town! )

**MIKE'S Birthday CAKES**

Mike had a good birthday. He got all the things he's ever wanted.... a few acessories for his new truck, the remote to the TV, the satisfaction of saying "you can't yell at me it's my birthday" & Yummy birthday Cake! I was planning for the German Chocolate cake and buying the needed items. I don't make this often so it's a special occasion when I do and made with LOVE! As we are walking past the bakery on the way out, someone's eyes got really big. "ooohhh look at that! Yyummm". It was Beautiful. Layers and layers of Lady Fingers, real Whipped Cream, Fresh Strawberries, drizzled in Chocolate.... So we had 2 Cakes. We have problems finishing a cake ourselves so we went to the Hoggn's and Celebrated with them and the Michaelsons. It was fun to relax and get away. Tyler is helping Mike blow out his candles. His lungs are younger and fresher than MIke's in his old age....29!
