How Can People Be Anti-Avocado?

It's ridiculous.

Thanksgiving Comes Early At Camp

75% Fullkorn? Sweet!

The nee Paulson girls, two thirds of the chilluns and I had lunch at Cafe Aroma today. Mmm, lavender soda...












Upon seeing this statue, Jack exclaimed: "Dat guy's BROKEN!"

Friends, I Implore You,

don't let me watch any more documentaries about America's food industry! If I see one more dude reach into a cow's stomach through a plastic grommet in the cow's side, I will not be able to perform my duties as the camp's food service director. Ugh.

Monday

I was asked to make a cake for a surprise party being thrown for Sonya from church. Knowing that I would desperately need a helper to dump all of the measured ingredients into the mixing bowl, I enlisted the help of this little neighbor child, Lucy Tate.

We aproned up and got to work.

This is when the deadline was creeping up on us, and the wheels started to fall off a little. Deadlines make me cranky.








But we made it! It wasn't as beautiful as I'd have liked, but the mocha cream filling was fantastic. And just so you know, the message was determined by the cake's commissioner, and the ring pops are on there 'cause Sonya loves her bling.

The Wedding Of Derrick And Desire'e

We took a little break from camp's craziness to go to our friends' wedding last June. It was a very pretty service at a home here in Idyllwild.

I cannot drive behind this type of truck without imagining its contents spilling out all over the road and enveloping my car. They could have left the little "DANGER" flag off. I already know.

We love ourchothers.
