David wrote a book! How rad is that! We met up for lunch so we could catch up and he could sign my copy.

 

For Stacey's 50th, my presie to her was to take her to a Rage Room - and we raged!

On the day I met David for lunch, he was running a bit late, so I found a geocache and walked around the Downey Downtown area! Love new spots!

 

I see you!

Well that's the cutest little cache container ever!

Rollerskating Banana




Our last game of the current Bowling Season!

And of course the Semi Annual Trip to Laughlin for our last Bowling Game of Sweeps! The whole team and spouses made it this time. We got a bnb with a pool! Sadly we had issues with the fire alarms (Friggin Fire Dept showed up!) and the place just not being ready in time cut into what pool time I was hoping for, but we did get some in. Just won't stay at this place again. Friday we headed out, dropped Libby & Glen off at the Casinos and Pat & I got to the bnb 1st. Jenny and Tim soon followed and Pat BBQ'd while we got what pool time we could. Sat was the bowling day. The boys stayed and gambled while Libby and I got some pool time in. We all had a great time. Probably a little too much drinking had by some and I got kind of tired of being the "mom" of the group, but what can ya do. I also bowled like absolute shit, and our team didn't do too great, but we made the best of it! Plus we got to bowl Anna/Sergio/Chrissy and Sean which is always fun!

Heading out!

Ahhhh finally some pool time!

Before we got to the bnb - Pat and I had lunch at a golf course and there was wild burros!!!

And a duck friend who walked right up to us

Burros!

Starting off the weekend

Always loves pictures of reflections

Saturday morning I was up early and out by myself. I do love desert mornings. It was already warm, but not hot yet. It was so very quiet and I just enjoyed the peace and calm before the storm.

Here we go!

Aw the boys actually carrying our bowling bags!

Great shot of Tim!

So pretty!


I do love a desert sunset

This was the boys right before their drunk asses ubered back to our place after gambling. Yup...they are as drunk as they look.

We were supposed to have a Girls Brunch, but it ended up being just Cori, Aimee and I - Libby popped by for a hot minute.

 


Hailey got her 1st car! 

Love this girl

Cori is quite the artist!

My sad attempt

Pat and I had a quick Temecula Wine Pick Up Trip. We left early so we could visit his Uncle Jeff which I of course forgot to take pictures of! Ack!

Corkfire Kitchen has some new menu items!


Rascal wasn't with us so Charlie got to hang out with us


I love him

Relaxing and Wine-ing
Had a wonderful brunch with Jen & Maria!
We hit up a new spot called Breezy and it was quite good! We then had one more glass over at Rancho Capistrano Winery.
I got the Ribeye Breakfast Bowl. Super yummy!


Jen was very proud that she was drinking faster than Maria and I for one hot second

One more glass...


Father's Day Pat made Huevos Rancheros for my dad and the rest of the fam. My dad looooooooves Pats Huevos and the rest of the fam was quite impressed!

Happy Daddy's Day Dad!

Later that day we hit up the Day of Music and had lunch at Les Amis. Next year we'll check out more bands w/o the pup. Then we hit up Susie's that early evening for a visit and tacos! Busy Sunday!
Got Rascal a bandana for the Music Day

Robin wanted to ditch work and go to Glen Ivy Hot Springs for her birthday this year. I'm always in for that!
