Cowboys

Not only am I a Dallas Cowboy football fan, but I like anything cowboy!  Look at this great find from the thrift store!  When my daughters were young, we watched hundreds of Sesame Street episodes.  I wouldn't say Big Bird was their favorite, but cowboy Big Bird....yeehaw!

Nicolas Sparks

It is always fun to meet the person behind the pen!  Such was the case for me last Friday when I headed up to Borders book store for a book signing of Nicolas Sparks new novel "Safe Haven".  Little did I know it would be such an event!  The store was packed and they had run out of his books!  Thankfully I had brought along my copy of Dear John and he happily signed it for me! 

Geraniums

I don't know what it is but geraniums seem to grow so easy for me.  I never have to do anything to them, just an occasional watering and pruning and they look just beautiful all the time.  The leaves are always green and pretty colored flowers come and go.  I have learned to plant them in containers otherwise they just take over the area.  If you have a hard time growing flowers....geraniums are the way to go!

Another fun Cal game

Here I am writing about another fun Cal game.  Even though Cal lost, the game was a blast.  My daughter was on the field photographing and I was having fun in the stands with my friend from kindergarten.  This time the game was in Reno at UNR in a beautiful stadium on a beautiful evening.  The fans were great and there is just something exciting about being at a football game! 

Cal Football game

There is such a great feeling about being in Memorial Stadium for a Cal football game.  To think that years and years of football have been played here is so exciting.  It is also super exciting for me because my daughter is a photographer for Cal....Go Bears! 

San Francisco

One of the most beautiful cities in the world is San Francisco!  San Francisco here we come!  This visit we took another free walking tour, the best deal in town!  We walked the wharf and learned so many exciting trivia facts.  Of course we then had some of the famous Boudin Havarati cheese bread made right there on the wharf, so yummy!  There is so much to see and do in San Francisco, I could go back again and again.  If you go be sure to check out the billboard near AT & T park on 2nd and Brannon....that is my daughter's photo,  woot woot!

Professional Women's Soccer

Wow!  I went to my first women's professional soccer game on Saturday, what fun!  I would not even know about WPS....Women's Professional Soccer....if it wasn't for my daughter photographing them.  Let me tell you, the game is exciting, the venue is beautiful and quaint, the fans are wonderful, the sponsors are terrific, and the players are amazing!  The one voted best in the league is Marta and she plays for FC Gold Pride....she is incredible to watch in action, she is right up there with Landon Donovan!  I won a free T-shirt too!
