Going to Sacramento again today. Maybe I will actually get to see Chrissy this time. She didn't show up yesterday. She was having "issues" with her storage unit. Lol Honestly , that is what she texted me. I had to laugh.
Monica, the beach and a book. Sounds perfect. Have fun.
Spring, Bravo Zulu to your sailor.

Good mornin' Ladies. I'm up a bbit early, but at least have coffee in hand. :)
Waiting to hear if my son got his other references for his paperwork. A year seems so far away (til he graduates highschool), but I'm sure it will go fast.
Now on to job hunting, and then doing homework.
Have a great day!PS - Happy 4th! No fireworks here this year.

Good morning, Still haven't seen Chrissy yet. But she is here in Northern California. She was supposed to met us at her sister's house last night but that didn't happen. Now she says she is coming up here for the Fireworks tonight.
Well, I did get to hold baby Freddy yesterday for like a minute , when he cried Liz snatched him back, He is 6 weeks old and weighs 13 lbs!
Happy 4th of July to all Nor Cal Moms and Dads! I know it is only the 3rd, we do things a day early here in Amador county. I don't know why but the Lions club has always done the fireworks on the 3rd.
