blog forgotten

I seem to forget I have this blog and I am constantly ignoring it! That has got to change! Had an awesome fun time this past weekend with hubbie's colleagues. First, on Saturday was an all day party at Chateau d' Joan Hally (one of Matt's attendings) in Sonoma, CA. Matt was the Mojito Masta!! Getting everyone sloshed on awesome tasting Mojitos. Charlie was the cooking Masta!! cooking good grub such as Beer-boiled Brats, Chipotle Shrimp tacos, some kind of Pork tenderloin and some kind of Salmon cooked on wine-soaked cedar planks. Started with the fog over the top of us but that soon burned off and people were enjoying the pool, the bocce ball court and just hanging out! We left late...like 10pm...but it was good fun.

Sunday, friends from across the bay came over for a dinner bbq. Their little girl, Julia, is such a smart 3 year old. She already knows how to spell and read simple words. Her favorite animal is the shark and she told us all about it. It was so nice to have them come over and hang out. We will miss them.

Packing is coming along nicely. Utilities are in the process of being set up. Just 2.5 weeks more to go before the "big" move!

Gone Ghost Huntin'

It was set on Saturday evening. The San Francisco Ghost Hunt woo-oo-oo!!! My sis and bro-n-law were up for the weekend so we decided to go on the Ghost Hunt. It was real fun. It is a 3 hour tour (2 hours walking, 1 hour informational) in the Pacific Heights neighborhood. It begins at the Queen Anne Hotel which has its on friendly ghost...Mary Lane. The guide, Jim, is perfect for this gig. He tells us the history of the hauntings in the hotel then lets us wander around the hotel on our time. The hotel is decorated to be about 1900. It is totally cool. There are all kinds of great furniture pieces. I sat in what looked to be a piece from when the place was an Episcopal Church and my sis took a pic of me. In the picture was something quite strange, something Jim calls a glowing ball of light. It was on the chair next too me. at the same time the picture was taken the chair had gotten very, very cold. These are all indications of a ghost encounter according to Jim. I had a ghost encounter on Saturday!!! Wooooo -oooooo -oooo .

Jim tells great stories as we walk around the Pacific Heights neighborhood about both the history of the area and hauntings. If you go, you will find out about a voodoo queen, Flora, George, and Claudia among others. Here is the web address to find out more information.

Ghost Hunt

Well worth the time and money. I highly recommend it.

Yosemite!

Just visited Yosemite over the weekend. The waterfalls are AMAZING!!! So full, thunderous and gorgeous. I've never seen the waterfalls so full before and there are waterfalls where I've never seen them before. The road to Glacier Point still has lots of snow. So much that you could go sledding in areas. The dogwoods are in full bloom and there are tons and tons of different wildflowers to be found all around. It was a truly amazing sight that I hope lots of you get to enjoy.
