We had a great 4th of July over at Karen's house. The Boys Next Door played and they were awesome! They'll be back at the beginning of September!
Grandson Jacob made the promotion list a few weeks ago and sent these pictures of his pinning ceremony! So proud of you Jacob!

Wednesday, July 6th I headed to Dixon, CA and had a visit with my mom and dad at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery. It's been awhile so it was time.
On Thursday I headed over to meet up with my sister Linda and her family. We met for a later lunch at Lagunitas Brewery before heading over to Dillon Beach for a few days. Linda always rents a home over there once a year. She invited me / us and who could pass up the chance to spend a few days at the cool beach?! Bonus, nephew Dusty, his wife Chelsea and the two adorable kids, Owen and Cassidy would be there too. 💜💜 Nephew, Jesse came Saturday for the night.
As soon as I got out of the car and slammed the door, I knew I'd left my keys in the ignition. We have a hide a key somewhere, but I called Triple AAA and they were actually there in about 10 minutes. 😊
We all had a nice lunch thanks to Linda 😋 and headed over to the beach about 25 minutes away.

What a great couple of days. The weather was cool and foggy, but it was awesome!
Saturday was Miss Cassidy's 4th Birthday..she's so cute! Such a little princess! I've never had a daughter, but watching her open presents was so special. She'd say "Oh I love this"..💗 She definitely enjoyed her birthday.

| Happy 4th Birthday Cassidy! |

We went to a late lunch at the Boathouse near Bodega Bay. Again, courtesy of my sister 💙 After we came back to the house we all headed towards the beach for an hour or two.
I ended up staying up with my nephew Jesse until 0100 or so. Don't see him often so I'm glad I visited with him until then.
Sunday morning it was time to cook some breakfast and then get ready to head home. It was an awesome trip with family💙💙 Thank you again, Linda and Bobby! 💖
Glad to be here after a long drive home!
Tuesday we headed into Gardnerville and Walmart to do some grocery shopping! Eric, Mason and a friend, along with Russell are coming today! Looking so forward to it!!

Our baby boy turns 44 today! Happy Birthday Russell! See you soon 💙
Looks like a good time all the way around! Love the wood stove, the perfect addition to your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm hoping cooler weather comes sooner rather than later so we can use the wood stove! :)
DeleteAgain, congratulations to Jacob.

DeleteCongrats Jacob and Happy Birthday Cassidy!! Did I mention one of my best friends lives in Dixon? GREAT little town. That stove ... it's awesome!!! Great family times ... you guys are so lucky.

ReplyDeleteBeach times are always fun even without sun!
Oh yah, I know all about sanding metal now! ♥
Thank you Patsy! Yep, love the beach, too bad it's too$$$ to buy a place, or even rent for more than a few days. I thought of you when I was doing the sanding on the stove :)
