Flowers on the Water


Today is Juliana's 23rd birthday.

I took her to breakfast at Pancake Circus and then we went to the Sacramento Bridge to toss flowers on the water in memory of my mother and Juliana's grandmother.



She did a very good job of naming all of mom's children and grandchildren, we even tossed one in for grandpa Butters!






We tried to run over to the other side of the bridge to get pictures of the flowers as they floated on the water, but the current had quickly taken them away.

Then we went by where Juliana works just so I could check the place out!

Maria Leaves for Italy



Shopping with Maria has always been and adventure. She is super picky and if there is one small thing wrong with the item . . . forget it . . . we leave it behind.

This makes for a long day trying to find the right kind of clothing. But when we find it I usually say buy it no matter the price because of how hard we worked to find it.

I'm thankful I can bring my own chair now. I use it! After it was all said and done we went to three different Target stores, Walmart twice, and seven other stores over a period of two days. These are not counting the stores that Maria went to on her own all in pursuit of finding clothing that works for her.




Before we went shopping I told Maria I would only buy her ONE pair of shoes. She tried to bribe me into buying more, but I wouldn't budge. She got lots of nice clothes for her trip.







Now you can understand why I say "BUY IT" when we find it!

PC World is my home page. Computers fascinate me. This particular article caught my attention because the love affair between Wall-e, the trash compactor, and Eve, the sleek robot, is cute. There are several examples of pc cases that might interest you. However my favorite was Wall-e. The picture will take you to the article and THIS LINK will take you to a Russian site that shows picture by picture how this this pc case was made.
