Going Digital??

I'm trying digital, but don't think I'll be totally digital . . . I still love to "feel" the paper and embellishments of traditional scrapping! Plus I've got too many photos already printed out to stop traditional scrapping!

Here's one of my attempts at digital:

Isn't he the cutest puppy ever?

Fourth of July Week-end of FUN!

We had a really busy, but fun Fourth of July week-end! It started Friday, July 1st - we had dinner at Gino's Trattoria with Debbie and Jarod. Good food, good wine, good friends!

Me and Glenn

After dinner, we went to the Canyon Club to see Ted Nugent! Good music, even though I really didn't listen to him growing up except for "Cat Scratch Fever." Uncle Ted, as he calls himself, is very outspoken, very conservative, very supportive of the military, and very much in favor of the NRA! It was fun, but my ears are still ringing!

Glenn had to work Saturday, but we took a little motorcycle ride on Sunday, July 3rd, with Debbie and Jarod. We went the back way to Ojai, then rode to Cold Springs Tavern on the 154. There were so many bikes, and cars. They had a band playing out front! I think we rode around 200 miles that day! Awesome day for a ride!

Patriotic boaters!

Ojai Valley from the top of the 150 (right past Dennison Park).

Cold Springs Tavern off the 154 - I don't think I've seen as many people there - crowded!

The band playing - harmonica, bass, banjo, and snare drum but he used a cardboard box!

And on the Fourth of July we celebrated at the house - 1625 Valley High Avenue.

Vegas Baby!!

Donna and Lynda flew out to CA for a week; and we went to Las Vegas for 3 nights. We stayed at MGM and had fun! We went to Hoover Dam, walked the strip, saw "Bodies", and rode the gondolas at the Venetian. And yes, we gambled a little bit too!

Guess Who's Turning 50 Tomorrow???

That's right! 50 years old! He's finally catching up to me!

He's still the most handsome man on earth to me - - - - wouldn't trade him in for two 25-year-olds!

Love you honey!

Michele's Baby

Meet Davis! Michele adopted him about 3 weeks ago; however, he was sick and had to stay at the doggy hospital for a week and a half. He had a severe case of pneumonia. Poor baby - he lost weight, wouldn't eat, no energy. We were scared it was parvo or distemper.

He's so much better now. He's put on weight and doesn't look skeletal now! He loves to play and run around in the yard. He also loves to sit in the sun! So cute.

This picture was taken at Carpinteria State Beach on Mother's Day.

Harley, or Stuart . . . our newest family member!

We haven't decided if it's a Harley or a Stuart, assuming it's a boy, but this little guy was in our pool today. Glenn rescued him from the skimmer! Last week there was a snake in the skimmer but he was dead. Makes me wonder what will be in there next week!

We went to Pet Smart and bought all the necessary stuff for the little guy.

Isn't he just too cute!
