Thought you would enjoy some pictures of things we've been up to lately.  The ice skating rink in Walnut Creek was fun.  The kids did better than I expected and for me, it was the first time I had skated since the hip surgeries.  

Tuesday was Jacquie's funeral.  Heidi dressed the kids all cute and I had to take these shots of Blakey.  He's in the "cheese" stage, smiling at the camera and posing.  What a guy.  I catch him tinkering on his quad with his screwdriver and that gives me a smile.  

This was the only shot I got of Kira, with her cousin Paisley, at the church.

 Dinner at Lark Creek Cafe in Walnut Creek with Sue, Denise, Jacquie's cousins; Heather and Erika, Walt's sister.

In the back on the right are Eric, Walt's cousin,  and Joyce, Eric's wife.  The Maddox's and Zoran are on the left.

Aaaaaaand I got my Lexus!  I wrote all about it on my blog and I am so stinking excited!  Yeah.  Oh, did I tell you about how we got rid of the old couch, chair, and barstools on craigslist?  I took pictures and posted the couch and chair for free.  Within about 20 minutes, a lady emailed and said, "Can you hold the couch for me [for 40 more minutes]?  I wrote back and said, "They are first come, first served, but as of now, it's still there."

10 minutes later, a couple pulled up and took both the couch and chair.  Someone else wrote, "Do you have anything else for free?"  Jeez.  People will take anything if it's free.  I had posted the barstools for $20 and a lady emailed that she would pick them up after 11:00 am.  We had left for Walnut Creek and told her to leave the money under the mat, and she did!  Craigslist!
