TGIF!

Greetings from Sunny Northern California. This is a view I see while walking every day - today is was really clear. I love all the "hills" (yes, we call these hills because they really are not that high above sea level). I just love living here...you can drive one direction and be on the beach within 45-60 minutes or drive the other direction for a few hours and be in the mountain and snow...you can enjoy multitudes of vineyards, wonderful wines or enjoy fresh fruit and veggies at the local farmers markets. It is great!

The next group of flowering plants are taking over - while the flowing trees have finished and now are adorned in their greenery, the daisies, roses, iris, day lilies and so on are in full bloom. That is another thing that is nice - for when one group of plants are done flowering, there is another that starts up...HOWEVER, that just mean another set of allergies start up - so the stuffy noses, sneezing and watery eyes seems to be haunting my family again. Oh, well...sometimes with the good comes the bad.

Sitting at the hockey rink hasn't lent itself to much stitching for it has been mostly a social hour for me. Which is not a bad thing, for it is always nice to connect with my fellow hockey moms, catching up on all the gossip or helping each other deal with the growing pains of raising kids now-a-days.

Anyway, just wanted to say "hi" and wish you all a good weekend. Take care and remember...

Live, Love, Laugh and Stitch Often!
