Made it to Cherry Valley!

We had such a good time in San Diego.  We enjoyed time at Jim and Della's.  On Thursday she had her famous spaghetti dinner!  Elaine Williams had made brownies that were to die for!  When we arrived we found Kelli enjoying the spa after her six day bike ride from San Luis Obispo!  I'm not showing the picture of her before she realized we were there, let's just say we could have probably made some $$$$ on it!


The weather was wonderful for sitting out on the patio!  Phil, Elaine and Marion were enjoying!


On Friday we met our friend Jeri Gutowski at Barona.  We had a couple of hours of gambling and lunch in the cafe.  It was a lot of fun!  We hurried home to let Max out and made it to Jim and Della's in time for Jim's yummy ribs and beer can chicken.  Della had made a ton of salads and her yummy sweet and sour beans!  Her friend Kim made a marshmallow/cream cheese sauce for strawberries that was also a big hit!

We got the group together for a red lips picture!

On Saturday I met my friend Peggy Price for lunch in La Mesa.  We enjoyed lunch and then while I was getting my nails done, she came in with pumpkin spice cupcakes and cream cheese frosting...my favorite!  I think I gained 10 pounds this week in San Diego...yikes!

In the afternoon we attended the Su-Hi grand re-opening!  The school looks great.  I managed to get a few more pictures:

After listening to speeches, roaming the new halls of the school and buying a t-shirt to help the football team, we headed back to Jim and Della's for left overs and quiet conversation!  It was a fun day!

Sunday we met our friends Jeri and Stach Gutowski for brunch and then we opened birthday presents...past, present and future birthdays!  Stach was May, I was July, Jeri is August and Ted October!  It was fun doing it all together!  Jeri found red lip luggage for me...too cute...and a beautiful Paris neclace and earrings!  She got Ted an Amazon gift certificate (for his Kindle) and two 24 oz Starbucks tumblers that she had added pictures too!  They were so great...loved them!

We are now in Cherry Valley, waiting for a new drive shaft for our truck.  We are hoping it comes in today!
