Good Sunday Morning to all!

Good Sunday Morning to all of you and I hope that you are getting the much needed rest to face the week ahead.

Yesterday was a blast! Thanks Steve for organizing such a nice day for all of us to share the great outdoors, friendship, food of course, and Tom's Farm.

I have never been there and I have to tell you all the highlight of my day was taking my grandson, Hunter on the carrisol . He was bouncing himself up and down waiting for something to happen. It was pretty cute. There was a little boy who was 2 next to us and that poor little guy cried his eyes out the whole time! Hunter kept looking at him like what is wrong...this is fun.

Then the next highlight was Rhonda's daughter and Hunter having only eyes for each other and their food. I am telling you it was hillarious. Sarah was eating food out of Hunter's hand and she was trying to feed him with her spoon. All of Rhonda's kids are really great kids and they showed a lot of attention to Hunter. He does not get to be around other children very much so this was really good for him.

Naomi and Heather are star STUDS of the boards gals. You have not really seen how awesome they look. Heather was there less than 2 weeks out of TT and boobie job with her balls a hangin and look fab! And Naomi...I think ps shaved years off you...you seemed so bright if that makes sense...it is like your whole face is just lit up. I am happy for both of you!

Jeannie Beanie...I am sorry we did not get to talk more....you are looking as pretty as ever. I hope you and Ms. Diane got a chance to chit chat more and get a picture!

Diane did you and Doogie have fun later? You looked great for sure...and dang you sure got you some good looking long legs girl!

Monica W you are looking fab and it was so great to finally meet Jordyn. She is absolutely adorable. Great seeing your mom again too. Give me a shout when you come back this way. I enjoyed having you here!

Donna and Tina and Mr. Kayden. OMG what a surprise to see all of you. I cannot believe it is only 4 weeks until you are due Donna. You have that great mother to be glow about you. Kayden is too cute for words! Good luck with the birth of your 2nd son!

Sheryl...you look fabulous! I have not seen you for so long....I gotta go check me out a wonder bra....I seriously thought you had a job done! Hope it is not years that we go without seeing each other again.

Judi I saw you and a hug by....you are looking great too along with Miss Nadine! Hope school and stuff is going good!

Gus and Anna....great seeing you as that is all I about did...you both are looking so great!

LuLu...you crack me the hell up...well you and Rhonda both...OMG the present that is too hillarious and no I am not using it!

Rhonda I enjoyed your family a lot and I am glad you brought them all so we could meet them! Hunter really enjoyed them.

Julie it was really nice to meet you even though we did not get a chance to really talk. You really had yourself quite a trip home...OMG I think I would have turned around and not even came liek a few people didn't, but glad you did!

Steve for sure thank you so much for doing this and it is always great seeing the D-man. He is a really keeper...okay well both of you are!

Sherrise....Miss Maybelline...hehehehehe you look marvelous GF!!!

Celest, Gary, Suebee....always great to see you all....it is hard with big gatherings to talk with everyone!

I know I am missing people that I saw and talked with at Farm thingie....but like I said it is hard to get around to talk with everyone. I just glad that everyone was able to make it there too and get home safe.

Nikki did you get your car issues resolved. I was so bummed you did not make it as I was really looking forward to FINALLY meeting you!

Jen, your Tasha is just a beautiful dog. I had a german shepard growing up..she was a mix with husky, but nevertheless truely wonderful dog. Glad you are walking her. Hope you are not chomping at the bit too.

Jess did you make it to the comedy club last night? Sucks about having pink eye...I am so scared of getting it sometimes with all the funky kids I teach!

Barb you are so sweet for the nice compliment. Did I mention I love your avatar? Do you play an instrument? I would love to play a sax myself!

Little Michele I saw you in a stroller by and a quick hi before the stroller. I wanted to meet your grandchildren :-( but never got a chance! Still good to see you!

Kim S isn't the furniture to die for at Tom's Farm? I would love to have some of that leather furniture for sure...okay not until dogs with big paws are not around for sure!

Jodi...I hope things are okay there in your neck of the woods. Awful all the fires again!

Joy how are you doing? Have you had any good weekend plans? I think you were meeting up with someone from here yesterday if I recall.

Well hope you all have a terrific day. I will get pictures to people sometime today and share with you the cute pic of my grandson and Rhonda's daughter...way too cute of a Kodak moment for sure!

PEACE OUT!  

 

Good Morning All,

First I want to say that I hope and pray that everyone is save from the fire and that no one has been or is in harms way.  For all of those who has been effected, please say a prayer for them.  It is not nice to be a victim of a fire (I know from personal experience).

With that being said, the pasadena full/half marathon has been postponed due to bad air quality.  I can smell the smoke all the way here in L.A.  As I was getting dressed this morning, I received a phone call from a runner that I was going to be carpooling with that it has been cancelled.  Oh well, maybe they will be able to reschedule the run. 

Janine-I am glad you and Hunter had fun at Tom's Farm.

More Love,

Kim

GOod morning Janine and all my Cali buds
yesterday was a blast for sure.....and Janine I am sorry we didn't get a chance to talk more....but we will soon....I had a great time and was sorry I had to leave early but with the freeway closures I was a little nervous about the drive home....Thank god for Doug and Diane and others that gave me good directions home so as to avoid the 91 freeway....I am not a freeway lover to begin with and going out of the way - well - not comfortable for me.  It took me a little over 2 1/2 hours to get home with bumper to bumper traffic practically the entire way....(it only took me an hour to get there in the morning as that was before the fire).  So to say the least, by the time I got home and got out of my car I was so exhausted.....but I made it and I pray for all those affected by this disaster....I hate fires...

Nadine and JudyAnn - I hope you guys are ok .

Diane - I am going to upload my pictures today and will get them posted.  It was so great to spend tie with you - I just love you to death.

To everyone else I met - what a joy - Lu, Nadine, JudyAnn, SueBee, Steve and Darrol - I know there is more but I am brain dead this morning.

Steve - thank you so much for organizing this huge event - you are awesome for sure - and my REAl bear hug was way better than the virtual ones......

Ok well time to go get a cup of java and read the sunday paper - today is a total relaxation day for me - absolutely nothing on my agenda - woo hoo......

Hugs to all

Good Morning Janine and Cali,

It was great seeing you yesterday and getting to meet mr Hunter.  What a doll.  Sorry that Jordyn was her usual diva self.  I will be so glad when this phase is over.  We had a good time and got lots of veggies to make food for her.  The drive was a bear.  We drove past the fire on the way and that should have told us to turn around but we have been shut in so long there was no way.  It took well over 3 hours to get home and I have to say my lil one was quite the trooper.  Our sky is covered with smoke so we will definitely be shut in today.  Every one be safe.  Much prayer for California.

Sorry to all of those I saw but didn't get to chat with.  Next time for sure when I'm more on the mend.  Boy am I sore today but its a good sore. 

Monica

Good morning Janine and everyone,

I have to agree with you Janine, yesterday at Tom's Farm was a blast!!!  THANK YOU STEVE FOR ORGANIZING IT!!!  My grandson kept saying "Thank you Grandma, for taking me.  It was really fun."  We went on the train ride and they were putting up the Christmas decorations so it looks like we'll be making another trip to Tom's Farm to see the lights.

It is very hard being able to talk to everyone, but it sure was GREAT to see everyone again and meeting new people.  Everyone is soooo nice!!! 

Janine, I have to say....that little Hunter is a little cutie!!!

and Monica, so is little Jordyn.  She is so cute.  It was nice seeing you and you look great!!!  I hope you feel better with every day that passes.

As for the drive home for us, once we past the 60 fwy it then wasn't to bad. 

As for the fire, I will keep everyone that has been effected by it in my prayers.  I am watching the news right now and boy the fire looks terrible.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Michele

Good morning everyone!  It was wonderful to meet everyone yesterday!  I brought my sister in law with me to meet all the wonderful people from the Cali boards, and she told me she had a great time.  Janine, thank you for the shout out (blush).  I understand what you mean.  This has been one heck of a journey and I thank all of you for being on this board.  Monica, sorry I didn't get over to say hi to you, but was glad to see you.  The ride home was interesting...took the 15 south to Ortega Hwy (scary road) to the 5 north and got home after about 2 hours.  Steve, thank you again for organizing this "event."  It was my first time there and I felt like a kid in a candy store. 

Prayers to all those living near the fires and to those who lost their homes.  Have a peaceful Sunday everyone.  Oh yes...Heather you look awesome!

Goodmorning Janine and Cali Guys and Gals.

Janine I think we are going to have to talk pre-arranged marriage here!  Sara and Hunter are just too cute together!  He is so adorable.  We can at least arrange a play date that would be fun!  I think there is a children's museum out you way or I am sure a cool park or something, Maybe we can do a picnic or something, the kids would love it.  Sean is so in love with you, all he could do was talk about you and pretty you are and how nice you are!  All my kids had such a wonderful time.  It was great  seeing everyone and I am so glad that Steve arranged this event, it was a blast!  Hope everyone is safe and well with all these fires going on.  Everyone have a wonderful Sunday and get some rest and try not to breathe too much today, with all the smoke in the air.

Take Care,

Rhonda

Email me...I do not have your [email protected]

 

I love your kids Rhonda...they are some of the best behaved kids I have ever been around. However it is their winning personalities that get me...not to mention they are very cute children. You tell that Sean I am gonna smooch him all up too!

Good Morning All!  It sounds like i missed a wonderful event.  I am sure Jayden and I would have had a great time!  

We hung out here and I took Nick and Jayden to Round Table so they could have pizza and play the hunting game.  I had some stuff from the salad bar.  Thought I was being safe having kidney beans, some bacon bits cheese and a little salad dressing  Something upset my gallbladder and I ended up not feeling well the rest of the day. 

Jayden's mom was doing Christmas and Birthday (dec 11) shopping for him and sent me a picture and asked me to check and see if our Wal-Mart had the item.  So, Jayders and I headed over there and sure enough they had it.  I told him I had to get it for my nephew (pulled a faux list out of my purse) and I was sorry he really wanted it, but this one was for Mason.  Even pretended a phone call to my brother to tell him to cross it off my list.  The kid was so bummed and is still convinced I bought it for my nephew.  His mom texted me.........." You are toooooo good" when I told her the story.  Now, it's hidden in a box in back of my car that is disquised as a box of clothes for his mom.  Hehehehe.   I am gooood. 

Today brings not much of anything.  Good weather, and I'm feeling ok so far. 

I hope everyone stays safe and away from fires!  I know about smokey air quality - ours really sucked up here early this summer for 60 days straight!

Good Morning Janine, and Cali

I hope everyone made it home safely yesterday.  I am praying for all those people that have been affected by the fire. 

I am so sorry I missed the event.  But when I saw all the smoke off the 91 and heard they were closing it......I turned around and came home. 

Sounds like you all had a nice time, and I have to admit, I am envious. 

Steve, you are awsome to arrange this.  I will be at the next event for sure. I look forward to meeting you

Jean, I know what you mean about having to take ways your not familiar with.  I don't enjoy that either.  I had to go to pasadena on Friday night, and I didn't like it at all.  I don't see well at night to begin with, and then driving on freeways I am not familiar with........Hated it!

Nothing planned for me today, hangin out at home, doing laundry.  I hope everyone has a great day

Linda
