Little nugget

Last night I had dinner with the absolute best company!  Our dear friends Melissa and Colin had the handsomest baby boy a few weeks ago, and last night I made them dinner.  I have been lucky enough to play with Finn a few times now, but I loved getting such a long visit — just the four of us!

Peaches and Cream

After dinner, I had planned on a little shortcake action, but the day got away from me and the biscuits were not baked.  Dessert ended up just peaches and blueberries, tossed with the faintest bit of amaro and topped with loosely whipped fresh cream.  The little sprinkling of salt and sugar didn’t hurt, but man – I forgot about how awesome just peaches and cream are!

Nothing quite makes your day like a hand written card in the mail … on Wednesday, there were two!!

Olympcs 1984

The Olympics start today!  I LOVE IT!! I get crazy involved, load my DVR to the brim, plus watch as much as I can live…can’t miss a minute.  Swimming and track are my favorites by far, but I’ll watch someone win (and someone else lose) in just about any sport. ;)  This photo is of the Opening Ceremonies in Los Angeles in 1984, my first Olympics as an attendee.  Note the Coliseum… which is apropos – along with Team USA, I will also be cheering on the 39 USC Trojan athletes worldwide.

Champagne & Poker Chips

And speaking of LA, I am headed there now … some dear friends are having a Monte Carlo party that I wouldn’t miss for the world!  It is going to be a bit more glamorous than my plastic chips and champagne in Tahoe, but you get the idea.  Not to mention, I will get to see their cute little nugget too!

I’m sure there will be lots of good pics to share from this one.
