Travel pictures

Since my last blog entry, I have been to Asia twice. I wanted to share some pictures of new countries I saw on the last trip. Cambodia and Vietnam...

Murder of my beloved Tomato plant

About 1 month ago there was a crazy green, almost weed like plant growing in the front yard. As the day's passed I looked at the plant and realized it was a tomato plant. Wow!!! how did this get here? This mystery is still not solved, some say crows leave it behind. Anyhow this was excited since I have always wanted a tomato plant. Soon enough this plant was thriving and growing the best tomato's I have ever had. Every other day I would pick my tomato's and sing to the beautiful green weeds with the bright red fruit.

On Tuesday morning I walked outside to see if the fruit was ripe and ready for another picking, sure enough, ready to pick. I would pick my tomato's after work. Ready with my picking tongs I went outside... This is when I realized there was a murder in my front yard and my plant was the victim. My heart cried out, I think I heard it crack. Such upset to find out that the gardner hacked my plant. :(

You can see by the picture below, the red beauties just lying on the ground. :( :( that is double sadness.

Summer Fun

So much fun this last summer I do not even know where to begin. All I know is I can no longer wear white shoe's even if I am in California, and labor day has passed. My one goal this summer was to get better at wake boarding, and boy did I try and try and fell many times. I can say by the last trip out to the lake I was good to go and have conquered my goal for the summer. The Mr. also got very good, it was fun seeing the leaps and bounds. Here are 2 pics below, both at the beginning of the season.

Earth Wind & Fire

Do you remember a time when a song brought back such good memories? That is earth wind and fire for me. The Mr. and I went to the Greek theatre with some of our close friends and we just danced the night away. Great people watching and the beautiful weather to top off a great weekend. Here are some picture to share.

The River AZ

We went to Lake Havasu this last weekend for some R&R but got cold and rain for the first two days we were there. When Sunday rolled around; the sun was half way out and we were able to go out on the water. I love it when it is about 100 degrees and my body is in the water. It only got to about 80 but I got some great pictures that I wanted to share.

Are these clouds Chem trails??? Ever listen to Coast to Coast... No actually I really like this picture below there is such contrast from the water to the mountain then up to the sky.

Odd Quirks

I was so delighted to find that I was tagged by Snow White's Legacy to share my 6 unremarkable quirks. Here they are:

- I dry off completely before stepping out of the shower "no wet floors in my bathroom"

- When I am thinking I take my thumb and touch it to each my fingers and go back and forth... I think this helps me concentrate

- When ever the ice cooler gets full of water I must remove the water from the cooler - kind of like rainman "yea water".

- When ever I go to the grocery store I always search for the use by date and if it expires soon I will not buy it. I also will reach in the back because that is where the best dates are found.

- The toilet paper always needs to be over the top not under... I have been known to go into peoples houses and change it to the right direction.

- I love Naps, I mean I really love naps; I look forward to my weekends where I can take a nap. I have been known to nap while at the river, in a car, or just about anywhere that I can lay my head.

Regrouping

Here are some pictures I took around my new area around the office. I have been regrouping my thoughts and thinking of some new ideas and things. I found that there was such beauty right under my nose.

1st nite in HK

We are in HK on off to Big Budda today. We went on the star ferry to Central to eat last night. My Husband found an ice-cream truck that suit him well "Mister Softee" (so cute). This was his first day to arrive in HK, I think he likes it. We met up with my cousin Liza and her BF John, check out there blog at moseyandadventures.blogspot.com. A good read, they are here for another 3-4 months traveling through out Asia
