We celebrated my beloved’s 45th birthday with a house – cleaning morning, then our friends Eric and Crystal came over for dinner. I had this new recipe for cilantro lime chicken tacos. So good!! Also made cilantro corn salad. Yummy! Eric and Crystal gave David a sweat jacket that’s so "NorCal"…(inside joke).

Our final day was blessed with perfect weather. We had a late flight and decided to make the most of the day. First stop….the San Diego Zoo! At first, I was a little dismayed at the cages and exhibits the zoo had for the animals. I guess I am a little spoiled by the Woodland […]

<sigh>. Today was the day we bid bon voyage to the Ralph family. But first, we met up for a waffle breakfast at their timeshare, then some fun in the game room!! A quick trip to Target resulted in this photo op. None of us had ever seen ‘cart escalators’, and we had to test […]
