OK, this is just nuts....Dog collar and dog ID tag

Well I pretty much already have our new dog Remy a collar and his ID tag...but was looking on-line just in case the one I have is too big for Remy. I found this very pretty crystal collar....The website said it was featured at the Oscars.
Guess how much this collar is? ..............................................................................................................$245.oo dollars. Is the world nuts? I also found a diamond ID dog tag for $3,000.00.
I guess for some money does grow on trees.

It looks very pretty bigger and comes in different colors, but there is no way in the world I would ever buy my dog such an expensive collar. I don't even recall what website I found this on.

John's corporate picnic...3 Cheese Tortellini dish

I made this really tasty 3 cheese tortellini dish for John's corporate work picnic yesterday....Their end of the year picnic. It was super easy to make, boiled and drained the tortellini, added cut up celery, green onions and diced up Virgina ham. Then covered it in a couple jars of Alfredo sauce. I thought about adding more ingredients, but figured some would dislike if I added olives, peas, marinated artichokes hearts or bacon pieces.
Everyone at his office seemed to enjoy it. They played softball, John came home some nice size scraps from sliding into home.
It was nice they could all get together one last time for a SUMMER PICNIC before it started raining this afternoon. Feels like fall already....50's to 60's here today in Sunny California...LOL

New fall changes made to the blog.... viewed negitive.

I loved my new fall look, but John wasn't crazy about the new look. So I changed it AGAIN.....sigh. Now it's these pretty brown flowers.

A few Wedding pictures from 14 years ago yesterday....9/18/04

I wish I could have found bigger pictures on our computers, but this is what I found. John and I on our wedding day.


Here are just a few pictures of John and I 14 years ago. So glad he got rid of the mustache...LOL

Happy Anniversary...14 years WOW

Last night we went out...just John and I to celebrate 14 years of being married...Wow 14 years already. We went to a restaurant called the French Garden...were we had 4 course meal, a few glasses of wine. It felt so good to be alone for such a short period of time away from the kids. We spent way to much on dinner...but it was well worth the alone time and just seeing each other. Not having the kids there was nice because normally they fuss and sometimes fight at dinner time.
I will have to upload some wedding pictures later. I thought this was kinda cool how this one of two lions heads turned out...In front of restaurant.
Playing around with the tint and coloring.


Lions head....original color

Rachel's first BURN..maybe a 2nd degree burn

Last night was not a good night.
Both the kids decided at 9pm that the needed a snack and went and open the fridge after us(Dad and Mom) telling them to wait and we would get them a snack. Nathan wanted strawberry yogurt and Rachel wanted cut up peaches in a snack pack. Well they decided they couldn't wait one of us to help get a snack and went and left the fridge open for awhile. All of a sudden we hear screaming and Rachel crying, this is her first burn...... She says she got burnt on the fridge light. I went and touched it and didn't think it was that hot.
Well 2 hrs later, several ice packs and a lot of LOVE from Mommy, she finally feel asleep around 11am. She was in sooooooooooooooo much pain, that I wanted to cry with her. I could not for the life of me find our 1st aid kit. So I will be trying to figure out where we placed it after our family camping trip to Tomales Bay later month. Bad burn....This really hurt.
More pictures of the burn, I bet it's going to blister.
