The Thing About Bubble Wrap...

What IS that thing about Bubble Wrap? Why do I find popping its little bubbles so addicting? I recently found it on a moving van company website and even virtually it is so fun to pop! and pop! and Pop!

You Try it!

Apples to Pie - OH MY!

I came home this weekend to an already early crop of ripe Apples! We are about 2 weeks ahead of our usual piking time for apples at Ferme' LaFournaise. We picked the first large bowl that we could hold today and there are still more waiting on the tree to be picked over the next week or two. So off to the Temecula Berry Farm to get some fresh blueberries to add to our fruit pies. Mmmmm Fruit Pies!

It is time once again to start my creations, I am wondering how many this year we will get from our little crop. I think I just may call in some friends to come over and have them put together their pies to take and bake :-) Wouldn't that be fun? So who would like a KK Pie?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAREN! I Love YOU!

My super best friend Karen is celebrating yet another year here on our glorious planet! Yeah! How lucky am I to be counted as one of her friends to make the journey thru life with. I tell you I am glad she is a big help in my journey :-) I am so grateful to her for all the many hours she spends listening and counseling me as a good friend does. I love that she never judges me, but gives me an abundance of courage and love like the big sister I always wanted. I know that good or bad she is always here for me. She is one of the most giving people I know, with her heart, her wisdom, her wit, her time and her friendship. I love Karen for all the things she is to me and to others. I admire the Mom that she is to her kids. I am touched by the dedication and love she displays for her husband. And the time she commits to her friends! Yes, you could say she is "Wonder Woman", but I don't think I was supposed to tell anyone, so keep that under wraps ;-) But as beautiful as she is, that costume would fit her well!

Today I raise my shot glass of tequila (which I rarely drink, but it is her favorite) and I make a toast to my Super Best Friend in Life Ms. Karen Black! Happy Birthday! You are so very special to me :-)

Love you!!!!

June Gloom....

While the the first days of June are actually perfectly sunny and the perfect 75-80 degree days... the Gloom came more in the form of flu! :-( My poor little Lilly has been laying on the couch for 3 days now just absolutely ill! I feel so bad for her. She wants so badly to be up and playing with her sister and her friends at school. The flu-gloom is one of the hardest things as a Mommy for me to watch my kids go through. I feel so helpless. I want Lilly to be better and like she wants, so she can be cheery and playful again. Well off to pet her back and stroke her pretty blond hair so that she feels comforted while she endures the worst virus ever!
