What I missed

While I was visiting family in AZ last week, I felt like a little something was missing from my life. 

When I returned home all it took was my first visit to the "ladies room" to remind me that,

 

I was able to use the bathroom uninterrupted. 

Lentil Spinach Soup

When it gets cold and rainy, it's time for a comforting, warming soup. 

 

In practically no time at all, it's ready. 

Mexican Food night at the Diner

Last night we me friends for dinner at the Campo Diner. 

 

Tuesday night is Mexican food night and it was pretty darned good. 

Starting Vacation Mode

I got my vacation mode going on today. My vacation doesn't officially start until tomorrow but I didn't want to waste any vacation time getting into the groove, so I didn't do anything I didn't want to do today.

I played around on a web site where you can make collages, it's free and easy peasy.

 

There are several templates to choose from and you are able to manipulate the photos.

Fields of wheat

 

I just love driving through the Imperial and Yuma Valleys, there is always something going on. 

This trip wheat was in the fields. When I drove through in December it was cabbage.

 

I love the different shades of green that is on one single stock of wheat.

 

Oh, I can smell the bread baking now.

And that's that

Don't tell anyone but...

I bought a pair of Crocs this weekend. 

I know, I know, they are considered the fashion disaster of the decade but...

Jarod's Nine

 

He turned 9 last Friday. All he wanted for his birthday was a swim party 

 

 with some of his friends, 

 
 

and hopefully the rest of the money he needed to buy the PS3 he's been saving up for. 

I think his 9yr old wishes came true. 

He deserves it, he's a great kid. 

Italian Beef

Beautiful rare roast beef that's been marinating in a spicy beef broth served on a hard roll. Please set aside the time to try this, it's truly wonderful.

Ready for some great food?...
