Great Party

We had the privilege last night to attend a party at the Wedding Pantry. The vendors and decorators arrived at almost 2 to put up the decors. We had fun in helping out. Just as we thought how we could accomplished so much in such a short time when people started to arrive.
Next the Soho Taco guys came. They were a friendly bunch of people. As the vendors and people arrived, tables were set up for their products. Everyone was so artistic and talented. The tables were really well set.
More and more people came and the line for tacos were so amazingly long. We jumped in too to get a taste of the vegetarian tacos. It was really good and there is a container of really hot Jalapenos sauce. So much sweets and food all over and so many people.
There were cupcakes different kinds. Horchata, Mexican chocolate, Mojitos cupcakes etc. Then there was the cotton candy lady, and also some natural tortilla chips, and Vodka mix which we didn't try...cuz we are not drinkers of those.
The DJ was playing his music and everyone loved him. He played nice music and made the surrounding happy.
We got to meet Landon, Darla's baby and held him. He is such a cute baby and he cooed and smiled when we spoke to him. Such a dear !
Then Henny and Gabriel came and i got to hold him too. He is growing so big and was a little shy. He is now looking more like a white boy. Hahaha.. He loves his mom and cannot be away from her for too long. We had a good time together though.
It was a long night and people left the party late. It was wonderful meeting up with old friends and meeting some new ones. A fun night at the Wedding Pantry !

Trip to San Pedro Aquarium

What an amazing place to visit ! This is such an interesting place. There is a live pool where you get to touch live star fishes and corals. The curator explains about these creatures and tells you how you should touch/ treat them. It is a very informative and exciting place for little children. The children in my class enjoyed such trip and I am sure it will stay in their minds for a long time. It is exciting and fun to touch live starfishes and corals.
If you have small children and they lack excitement, this is the place to take them. After learning about the live creatures, you can walk around to see other creatures of the sea. Lots and lots of learning fun at this place. If that is not enough, you can also take them to the beach which is about a stone throw away from this aquarium.
Spend the whole day there in this amazing place. Let the little ones run wild and enjoy their day. You can relax and enjoy yourself too. What a time to spend with the family!

Our trip to Sedona, Arizona

A group of us crazies love to make trips whenever there is a long weekend. That year, it was on Labor Day some 3 or 4 years ago that we took the trip to Arizona. Our friends, Grace and Victor own a house in Arizona. They were gracious enough to put us up in their brand new home in Mariposa. We then drove to Sedona in our van and visited this place called Sinagua. This was where we ate and shopped. There are little stores where you see souvenirs and cutsy things. I got a good deal here as well. A crocheted shawl with beads and fringes for only $2. They were selling at $5. But the lady gave it to me for only $2. And it was a beautiful baby blue shawl too. It was a very memorable place for me...hahahaaa...cuz I bought a cheap thing there.
But seriously, this is a nice place to visit. Like to go back there again sometime when the gas price is better. This is not the only attraction. There are lots of nice places to walk and hike around. Visit it some time when you can.

Highly recommended

This is certainly a very interesting place to visit. This home belonged/ belongs to Mrs Ellen G White who was the founder of the SDA's church.
It is called Elm's Haven. The story of how she bought this house was a miracle of its own.
Well, I will not spill the beans and tell you everything because it is more fun for you to visit it on your own, and learn of all the interesting and inspiring stories about Mrs White.
Believe me, you will enjoy the beautiful stories the curator will tell you. I did !
Try visit this place someday soon.

What bargains !

Some people, like me, like to shop at the thrift stores. Some days my trip there can be very fruitful and some days not so.
On this trip to the thrift store, I found a brand new Japanese bread machine. The cost is only $4.95. A brand new machine ! On top of that is this brand ! What a bargain ! Oh, I am making croissant right now. And it comes with a recipe book too.
The yarn is not from the thrift store but you do get such yarns at times. I had gotten many yarns of such nature or even better ones from this particular store that I often go to.
But this cotton yarn from Sugar and Cream was from Michael's. The regular price for this yarn is about $7. At Walmart, they sell for $6 something. On this particular day, I got the cotton yarn for only $1.30. On the for sale shelf it stated $5. But when the cashier rang it, it was $1 something. What a deal! Guess what, I went in and got myself a couple more...many more than a couple. I love it ! I love deals, don't you?

A day out with our best friends

A day out to the Nethercutt Museum. I have never heard of this museum until today.


Mr and Mrs Pitts standing by one of the very vintage cars.

Look at the horn and the seats on this vintage, but luxurious car!

Do we love these cars ! It was an eye opening day and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip.
I would recommend anyone who is interested or who loves vintage cars to go have a look.
Promise you won't steal one of them for they are all functional and have gas in them.
They are all very well maintained and are ready to be driven. I advise you to look at their prices when they were brand new. It is interesting to see how many cars the Nethercutts have. You will also enjoy the musical boxes that they have stored over there. When you go up to the top floor of the building, you will enjoy the most beautiful and enchanting music played from those ancient musical boxes... Make sure you make reservations before you go or you will not be allowed in.
It is a trip worth going and we enjoyed every part of it. The music played by the 5000 pipe organ is the best of all. Try it and you will love it.

Quite an exciting trip

Having fun at Ah Fook's Ranch. A very interesting place where you can buy dates and learn a little about mysterious Ah Fook, the China man.
I recommend this place if you have the time and good vehicle to take you there.
It is not too far from Death Valley. It is by Shoshone... i think.
Make a trip there and you will like it. You can also enjoy the natural spa....
Look it up.
