SJU 37 Year High School Reunion - March 27, 2010

We had so much fun on Saturday at our 37 year High School Reunion. Hugs, laughter, stories, good food, lots of photos. I cannot wait to do this again.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES

I woke to a gloomy, cloudy and somewhat foggy morning. The weather guy got it wrong again. It is even cold here in Northern California. We are supposed to get sun this afternoon. I hope that warms us up. I hope you are all enjoying some nice Spring weather.

PINEAPPLE SAGE - CUT IT BACK OR LET IT GROW??

I love my Pineapple Sage but am not sure what to do to keep it growing healthy. I bought it last year around this time, and it was small with lots of green leaves. It bloomed in December through February bringing lots of hummingbirds. It has lost a lot of leaves and is blooming again. Do I cut it back or let it continue growing?

SPRING FORWARD FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH OSCAR

Every year they take an hour away in the Spring and every year they give us back an hour in the Fall. Are they totally insane. It takes forever for all of us to catch up, if we ever do. Is yawning contagious by photo because I cannot stop yawning.

GETTING OSCAR TO WEAR HIS ST. PATRICK'S DAY HAT

"I do not like this hat!"
I am going to keep trying to get a good photo of you wearing this, Oscar
I do not want to wear this hat or take a photo
A quick photo, hat on head and done for St. Patrick's Day, 2 days early.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN

We had a nice dinner last night to celebrate Dan's "55" Birthday which is actually today, March 14. Left to right, David (hiding), Bill, Telle, myself, Dan and Donna went to Romano's Macaroni Grill, here in Elk Grove. Erik was unable to join us as he had to work.
After dinner Dan was given a small yummy chocolate cake with a lit candle in it and 6 forks to share it.
Three of the waitresses, including ours to the right in the above photo, gathered at the end of our table and sang "Happy Birthday" to Dan in Italian.
We came back to our house after wards to visit for a bit snapped a quick photo before Bill and Telle had to leave. What a fun time the 6 of us had celebrating Dan's Birthday.

OSCAR THROUGH OUR WINDOW

Kind of interesting taking a photo from outside our front window. I captured so many things including Oscar and me in our tv.

DAFFODILS

We shopped yesterday and nearly every store had Daffodils for sale. I bought two closed bunches and this morning they were almost totally open. I love the Spring and the flowers and of course the 70 degree weather we had here in Northern California yesterday. Hope you enjoyed your day as much as I did.

GOTTA LOVE TWISTED WHISKERS CALENDARS

DOVE ON OUR FENCE

This morning the birds were chirping and flying around in our backyard. This dove was sitting on our fence as they do very often.

PLANT FROM MY MOM'S NEIGHBOR - DOES ANYONE KNOW THE NAME OF THIS PLANT?

Yesterday I planted this plant that my Mom's neighbor pulled out of his yard and gave to me on Saturday. He does not speak clear English, so I am not sure what this is. He has lots of cactus and exotic succulent plants in his yard and they reproduce, as this one will and flower.
