There is this awesome little Euro deli right around the coroner from my office. It has the largest collection of cheese (isles and isles) in a HUGE walk through refrigerated warehouse. It also carries a tons of imported vinaigrette's , oils, chocolates and Euro goodies! We stop in there for lunch once in a while and today when I was in there I found these. 4" x 8" tiles. I've been looking for coasters for the coffee table for a while and haven't really found anything I like, but these babies look great on my black coffee table. Woot ! I love old vintage posters so these were right up my alley. One of my favorite artists, Mucha ! A Czech! I wish they still made adds like this! Wishing everyone a wonderful, sunshine filled weekend! Much Love!

First fire of the season ALREADY!!! Its about 10 miles up the road (canyon) and there is almost no chance it will make it down this far but still...... From the last I heard they had it pretty well contained and no building or houses were in danger. Whew!!! http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=141839&catid=339&GID=jvitZ2C0g69tesRGrJsnU62dEY1NI5tba6YvXVbQ5Sk%3D Above is a link to an update on the fire as of 6/26/2010 10am! The view from our deck looking west up the valley! Its hard to see all the smoke but it's pretty intense! Eeeekkkkk !! Sending out much love....

and......bought a new TV. It's a 42" Sony and I got it at an incredible deal! (Thanks DB :)) Bought a new TV stand to go with it and in a few paychecks from now there will be a matching book case next to it. We still don't have cable and haven't had it since we moved in and it's been really great not having it but I'm ready for a little connection to the world out there. Maybe in a month or two we'll see. Stella started tennis camp this week. Hopefully I'll have some pics of that up soon. Happy Monday! Much Love...

Stella's been in soccer camp all week and loving it. I got a chance to take some time off today and watch her play for a bit and take some pictures. This girl loves to play soccer. Her and all her little camp friends were having a blast. She goes from 9-3 everyday and then hits the pool with my mom after to cool off. By the time I get home she's good and tired but the girl still has energy to go play with her friends. Oh, to be a kid again and have that kind of energy! Can't think of the last time i spent 6 hours running around a field! Ha She loves to play goalie! She gets home and almost every night she's practicing kicking and dribbling the ball. Big thanks to mom and dad for shuttling her back and forth! Much Love!

For 5 minutes today make someone feel that their life is better because they know you, because you are there for them, because you knew when they needed a hug, an ear, a smile, a laugh, a shoulder. Because.....you woke up and everything after the sun rose along with you is a bonus!

Sooooooo much to catch up on. Things have been super busy the last few weeks but really great. This last weekend we installed new windows into the house. We still have a few more left but I can't even begin to describe what a difference it makes. I started a new job a few weeks ago and dad had his 60 th birthday party. Lots of pictures to post and lots of stories to tell and it's all coming. Stay tuned.... The master craftsman (aka: dad) cutting out some extra drywall for the new windows! Crisp, clean and white. It's such a difference from the black, nasty metal windows that were in there before. And a mojor plus, they are WAY more energy efficiant, WOO HOO. A lot more pictures coming! Much Love!
