Faye's birthday party

a tu salud, Faye!

(updated Sunday, 29 April 2007)

The party was a howling success! Around 40 people showed up (nearly everyone who was invited!) Everyone seemed to enjoy it...lots of food and drink (beaucoup champagne) and chit-chat and laughter. Lilly gave a great "Ode to Faye." Kyleigh took up residence in "her" bedroom and made a cameo appearance just before her bedtime. Maggie had more snacks than she's probably had in a year! Great fun!
Sorry Jessica & Rachel couldn't make it. Barbara was the "chief photographer" and Lee did his usual great job as bartender.

Will's Fargo

Here's a shot of the two of us taken by the bartender in a great little pub in Carmel Valley called Will's Fargo. This is definitely going to be a "must" stop when we return next year!

Capitola and Carmel

Our Unit #40

Our Deck


We're back from out trip to the coast. I can't begin to describe the wonderful 4 days we had. We took 55 pictures for our "slide Show"...here are a 5 of them.
Our unit was topside in the ranch house shown in the center of the picture in the previous blog. We had the entire top floor. Shown are the front, Donna sitting on the back deck which overlooks the meadow which runs to the ocean, a view of the meadow (complete with sheep) and the ocean, Donna in our living room, and Our sheep enjoying breakfast just below our deck Sorry, no photo of Donna at Karioke...only locals with their stuff at the piano bar in the Mission Ranch, but a lot of talent!

Capitola/Carmel

Today is our 3rd anniversary and we are off to a couple of our favorite places: Capitola and Carmel on the Pacific Coast. We will be staying 2 nights in Capitola where a couple of our favorites are the Shadowbrook Restaurant and "Restaurant Row." Our suite is back there among all that color. From our window is a panoramic view of the coast and the wharf.
In Carmel, we are staying at the Mission Ranch -owned and renovated by Clint Eastwood. We spent an evening there last year and fell in love with the place. We are looking forward to Ms Donna belting out a couple of tunes during Karioke Nite at the Ranch. We'll be back in Roseville on Saturday.

Ready to go!

Taylor during lunch

Taylor just watched and played as the "old folks" had lunch: Mommy, Aunt Barb, Great-grandpa Clark & Great-grandma Donna.

The Hike with Taylor

My doctor said "If you want to make your walks more aerobic, carry a weight...at least 15 pounds." So, here we go...

Easter 2007

Kyleigh and Sara had a belated Easter Egg Hunt at the Haroff residence on Saturday, April 14, 2007. Many eggs and lots of fun! Donalyn & Kevin, Barbara & Lee, and Johnna were there to cheer them on. A great dinner followed, coupled with a not-expected 3rd Anniversary celebration (that was the only way Donalyn and Kevin would let us go into the 2nd bottle of champagne). What fun!!!

RGS

It was a fun family outing to watch Kyleigh and the Honeybees of the Roseville Girls' Softball. What action! What skill! Both teams were so finely honed and skilled that the game ended in a scoreless tie!
