New Grandma

Another baby granddaughter in the Miller family just yesterday. Welcome to the world little D. Mom and Dad are doing well and we look forward to seeing our new little one very soon.

Photos from our family reunion

Came across my photos from last month and of course I had to post one of us with the grandkids. They are precious and we miss them. I have a message saved on my phone from Oster and he is singing Happy Birthday to me. It is a keeper and it brings a smile to my face every time I hear it.

Cross Country

We had the pleasure of drivng with Brian to Alabama this past week. We had so much fun seeing his new location and a good part of the country. Each night we stayed in some nice Marriott hotels thanks to Smart Cookies coupons. They were so appreciated. It made travelling for 10 hours in the car very enjoyable.

We also listened to books on CD the whole way across the country. Pete Sampras and Flags of Our Fathers. They were both interesting but you have to be a tennis fan to appreciate the Pete Sampras one. I came home inspired to write my own book after listening to that. I figured that if someone could write a book entirely about a tennis career then certainly there must be an audience for a person that has had two broken knee caps. Now really, how many other people do you know that can say that.

I thought I was the only one but a young kid at the pool where I swim said that he had done the same thing while snowboarding. I guess I am not so unusual!!!

Anyway, Brian is surrounded by southern hospitality. What an experience. Plus he is engaged to a lovely girl, Taylor Parker. He met her at school this past year. Marriage scheduled for early 2011. Congrats to both of them.

We got to enjoy Nashville one night before we left for home. It is a beautiful city and we loved the White Castle hamburgers. Yummy!!

The New Digs in California

We just came home from visiting in sunny and hot California. The new condo for Casi and Pedro is in the background. The kitchen shot was when we were in the middle of cleaning and sorry for the repeat photo. Doesn't Casi look cute with her belly. Little D will be here in 8 weeks.

Very fun stay with the Diaz family and we enjoyed visiting the LA temple visitors center.

Fun Trip With Kar

Kar and I headed to Canada for the day. We had so much fun. We stopped at Wolf People and saw a couple of wolves that were in a pen in the back of the building. They looked like the big bad wolf in Little Red Riding Hood.

We explored Cranbrook and found a Liquidation World to do some shopping. Kar bought a few T-shirts. We bought some huckleberries in Bonners Ferry and ate dinner at the View in Cocalalla. Great restaurant. I am going to miss this girl when she goes off to school. I almost convinced her to stay home instead of go to college but that was only for about 2 seconds. She is moving on. So sad for me. Good luck Kar and have a great year in the books. Love Mom

Salt

Tom and I went to see this movie. The first of the summer. It was action packed and totally unbelievable, but fun. She would have been killed after the first stunt but hey, it's Hollywood.

Noses

Last night Tom and I went to see a free movie in CDA park. The Wizard of Oz. It was sooo fun. We brought our lawn chairs and watched the show with about 300 other people. I had never seen the show entirely before. I think I was always in the kitchen doing dishes or folding laundry before.

This morning we went to a baseball game in the park between the Mennonite Church and New Hope Church. Lots of fun and good sportsmanship. Then we went to the farmers market and I bought some bok choy.

Does the nose on the witch have any similarities with my nose??? Just wondering.

Love this pic of me and Parker.
