Hobby Lobby

I wish I was more crafty. I have a lot of ideas but not a lot of patience! I do enjoy browsing through Hobby Lobby imagining all of the cool things I could make if I wasn't so lazy and impatient ;) I saw these prints today and snapped a couple of photos because I think they would look so much nicer handmade on real wood with real painted words. So I'll ask Gary to make these for me. He's a lot more crafty and definitely more patient :)



The To Do List is so me & g!

Simple Reminders

I stumbled across the Simple Reminders Facebook page and spent a good hour reading through the inspirational quotes that are written on lovely photographs with beautiful fonts. These are some of my favorites, and much needed reminders for this time in my life! Check out their website and be inspired!

I hate goodbyes

Gary sent this to me after he left with the title "Driving Away". I'm pretty sure I was crying after that.
 
Long distance relationships stink. That.is.all.

North Etiwanda Preserve Trail

Gary decided to surprise me with a drive "down the hill" to have lunch at Panera Bread. It is a bakery-cafe and since I love everything carbs it was perfect!
Half of G's sandwich & half of mine :)
After lunch G wanted to drive around the foothills and look for a nice place to take photos of birds or scenery or whatever! I noticed a sign that said Etiwanda Preserve and since neither one of us had heard of it, we decided to check it out! Here is our spontaneous 3 mile hike as told by the iPhone :)

mile 0 of ?? approx. 2100 feet

Boulder Creek Ranch Harvest Festival

It's finally cooling off a bit here in the high desert and today was a lovely day to wander around Boulder Creek Ranch with B & K and their little man! G & I would probably never go to the festival because of the incident from our last visit ;) but it sounded like a great opportunity to enjoy the day with family! My favorite moment of the day was meeting "Jack Sparrow" and little man's reaction to him. When he is older my plan is to watch the Pirates of the Caribbean together and then show him the pictures to see if I can convince him that he really met Johnny Depp. Here are a few snapshots from the day, courtesy of the iPhone and a point & shoot. Check out GP McCash Photography for the money shots.
