I asked ‘R’ what he wanted to do for his birthday this year. His response: Outdoor skateboard party! Well, his birthday was in March, and the weather was too risky for hosting one outside, so I gave him the option of an indoor party at the time of his birthday, or wait for better weather. […]

Except for my dear hubby who had to get up super early to play Worship, the rest of the house slept in! The Easter bunny did a fabulous job of decorating the table and window with the kids sleeping 10 feet away! My nieces received Easter “stockings” with goodies in side… I made a quiche […]

We were beyond blessed to spend Easter weekend with my mom, brother, and niece. They all flew down from WA state. My brother and niece spent the weekend, and my mom stayed for another week. They arrived late Friday evening. Saturday, we took a country drive to some of the nearby towns, and had a […]

Our friend, Tim, brought his two boys down from Washington during their spring break. My boys knew his youngest son from a previous visit, but had yet to meet the older son. The second they met, it was like they had known each other for years. There was never a silent moment during the ride […]

I had been to Chinatown and expected Japantown to be similar. I was surprised to discover how different it was, and not in a bad way. Japantown does not have the open markets, or the ornamentation on the buildings that Chinatown has, but the cool Japan centric shops are set within three or four small […]

Whenever Grandma Margaret is in town, it’s a given we will head for San Francisco for a day of re-visiting old haunts, and exploring new ones. Uncle Paul joined us for the day as well. We decided to go to Japantown first. Just outside of Japantown, we spotted a neat store to explore. So glad […]

The weather was nasty last week. Stormy, rainy, windy, icky. We were homebound for a few of the days, and spent the time watching videos and playing games. When there was a break in the weather, David offered to watch the boys so Margaret and I could get out for a while. We went to […]
