YaYa Weekend

Cheers Ladies! Lori, Terrell, Rochelle, Evelyn and Mary. We had a great YaYa getaway weekend to our girlfriend Mary's cabin near Silver City in Mineral King California. Cocktails, eating, laughing, tears, hiking, thirsty neighbors and Ro's rodents in the night!

The "Mojito Queens" - Evelyn and Rochelle

"The Happy Wanderes" (Lori, Evelyn, Rochelle & Mary) - hiking along the Cold Springs Nature Trail

Along our trek we found a lovely little picnic spot along the creek. I have the best girlfriends!

Snow Bunnies

My sister Kelly, brother-in-law Casey and my nephews Chris and Aaron had a great day in the snow at Badger Pass this winter. I sure miss the mountains of California and the wonderful smell of the sequoias and sugar pine, not to mention the grand views of Yosemite. The gum trees in Oz just don't seem to have the same affect on me.

The YaYas

My fabulous girlfriends back home: Mary, Rochelle, Evelyn and Terrell. I miss them so much and can't wait to catch up with them in June. It's been way too long and way too many cocktails we've missed together! HULA!

Kanine Fashion

We discovered our border collie 'Bindi' was sensitive to blooming clover in our yard. Her poor little paws became so red and swollen we decided to cut up a few old socks and make her a pair of protective gloves! Aren't they lovely? Ben poses with the fashion model!
