<br />
<br />
<br />From the sublime to the ridiculous! I had a wonderful Mothers Day lunch with family at a great Thai restaurant. Food was amazing, esp. the mimosas! Then in the late afternoon, went on a mother/daughter trail ride in the Superstitions that ended with a cook-out. The ride was fun, although a bit warm, you know, around 102, and our cook-out dinner consisted of hot dogs and chips. I think that was the best the men-folk could pull off. Still fun. Scenery was gorgeous, and Kasey had a blast...</div

First time since Xmas, and there were lots of changes. We had an impromtu B-day party for moi at Kristi and Tim's fabulous new home, which is coming together quite nicely! Can't wait to come again and see the progress. Sean showed off his bachelor pad. Very swanky. I'm going to move in on his balcony. Sean has quite the retreat working over there. Diana is busy rearranging her home after downsizing the occupancy and will probably require more visits, but next time, we'll have to take a shopping break to Taipan...?is that the great store?Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08470363300749498089noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6228920046477312359.post-9830893218040636222008-10-17T21:15:00.000-07:002009-02-18T07:19:25.464-08:00first posting... test run on my new blog!Dianehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08470363300749498089noreply@blogger.com5
