" Mamma Mia... You got me singin"





Went with Robin L and Queen Anne to see Mamma Mia......

I LOVED IT !!!! Anne wasn't sure it was her cup of tea , but was won over by the whole ABBA thing, Robin liked it but thought once was enough.. I went right out and bought the soundtrack, with the song words.....

Can see I could be singing along to this for sometime before I get tired of it and will have to see that movie again.....

A week of "GIVEAWAY'S"

check it out www.vanillajoy.com

Also Don't forget Scrapbook Queen Contest at Craft Warehouse is going on this week

Dave's been at it again.....


"CISCO DUDE" aka Armando Garcia-Davila

Writing that is.....
My brother in law wrote this story and so kindly changed the "name" to protect the innocent.....




Cisco Dude by Dave M.





We have lovingly been committed to each other longer than I care to think. But I have recently realized my wife has a secret crush on someone. A gourmet cook, landscape contractor, local poet and author, a real renascence man.





Her heart throb’s name is Francisco but I call him Cisco Dude, not Cisco Kid, just Cisco Dude. With puppy dog eyes and a school girl’s giddiness my wife pines for anything Cisco Dude writes. In wide eyed wonderment even a shopping list is a thing to swoon over. No matter what it was it would be met with a breathless “Francisco wrote it.”





For me Cisco Dude is a source of constant ongoing good hearted ribbing and poking fun on my part. As she leaves the house for one of Cisco Dude’s readings with a smile on my face I call out to my wife “Give my love to Francisco.” Although Cisco Dude is not fully aware of my wife’s crush, I fear she could someday become part of a court order.





There is an article and accompanying photo of Cisco Dude that appeared in the local news paper that is permanently sealed in clear plastic and rest prominently in her top drawer, beside her most all the work day long.





She may have a silly goo goo eyed school girl crush but my wife still comes home to me

Robin's feeling GOOD

Have talked to her and am going up to the hospital to see her after work...

Says she feels pretty good, doesn't know when she gets to go home yet, Cory is bringing the kids up to see her soon.

Get well soon ROBIN



Robin had her surgery yesterday and I just want to wish her a speedy recovery...

Cory called me about 3:30 to say it went well, but a bit more scar tissue than expected so it took longer than planned..

Will go by and see her after work today....

Get well GF !


Fun evening at Brooke's last night, just a casual get together for the girls with snacks and margaritas, yum....

Thanks Brooke, so good to see you.

"HOT HOT HOT !"






don't have to tell any of you locals that it was HOT yesterday...

108 as a matter of fact, 101 in Portland.... Andy doesn't have AC, said "his ankles were sweating"

Well made several trips past Roosevelt School, didn't think it would be so emotional for me, Andy went K-6th and we lived on Reddy across the street until 1995....But it still was aspecial school. Lots of other folks down there watching the demo who had many many years involvment with the school.. still makes me sad.

School registration today, Robin is offically a SENIOR at North....
I was saying how my baby is almost out of school and Robin Landers reminded me her "BABY" Jordan is starting Kindergarten.....

Yeah I remember those days...

Didn't go to the coast today , but sure wish I was, going to be another HOT one here. Wendy and Jackie are making offers on houses I think , so have business to take care of here in town. Really liked the Eagle Point houses on the golf course, good prices if you are in the buyers market.

Going to Scrapbook King to crop tomorrow...

Also I have an extra ticket to Monday Night OSF "Daedalus Project" paid $30 , turns out mom will be out of town so can't go. now you will get to sit by me.......let me know if you are interested.

KEEP COOL .........

Wendy & Jackie's Big Adventure

Well after work yesterday, I drove out to moms to meet up with the girls... They were still in Central Point so met them there.

They were looking at Crater High School and ran into the FB coach so spent some time talking to him, Jackie's brother plays football and will be a freshman

We headed out to Shady Cove just to show them the river and while out there ate on the patio of Migels Mexican Rest, have to keep our strength up....

Drove back to Eagle Point and looked around, they liked the looks of town and the new grade school... Went by the High School and Jackie wanted to get out and look around Wendy went with her and Mom & I sat in the car.. first person they ran into was the Principal so he took them on a tour and answered all the questions. That Jackie she does her homework, what a sweetie is 21 and up here scouting for her family.

We then drove thru the Golf Course and picked up real estate flyer's.. lots of houses for sale, then across the street from the Golf Clubhouse.. not sure what the neighborhood is called but it was getting dark, loved the looks of it so they are driving back out today to look in the daylight.

I will meet up again after work and check out the East side of Medford... Tomorrow we are going to drive over to Grants Pass to look around and then Drive over to Brookings take a picnic lunch and they will head home down 101 and I will head home , Anne is riding with me tomorrow, (MINI DAY VACATION !!) going to get my ocean fix.

WHEW !!! Saturday is the 10-10 crop at SBK !!!! Will be there !!

Wendy is back up house hunting again, this time Brian and Sophy stayed home. But she brought her friend Jackie whose family is looking to relocate in the Rogue Valley too.

Came into town yesterday afternoon and I met them in Ashland for a lite dinner and a beer, cute Irish Pub on Second St. Anne meet us there when she got off work at the College. GF Janie was able to get us some last minute tickets to see "The Further Adventures of Hedda Gabler" one of the funniest, crazy, zany.... what can I say we really enjoyed it. Gotta go see it if you get the chance.

Janie I can't thank you enough GIRLFRIEND !!!

So after work today going to take Wendy and Jackie out to Eagle Point.. Central Point and west hills. Jackie is 21 her parents are looking for a small acerage and she has school age siblings so schools are inportant. Looks like we may even take a drive to Brookings on Friday check out Grants Pass...

Sunday Drive











So the family went for a drive out Agate Rd, saw Mel Morris pulling out of the driveway with the BBQ trailer, Hi Diane,...

Out to Shady Cove for the River Art Walk, lots of booths along the River, these fella's, Alpacca's were the sweetest thing, they were "humming".....

Then back to Eagle Point to Butte Creek Mill, I have never gone in , I know I have lived up here for 30 plus years....Looked around and drank a soda on the porch...thinking the wood walls would be a good background for senior pictures...going to take Robin's and probably TJ's..... so getting ideas....

Got home and had time to go to the scrapbook store but decided to take a nap instead !

And that was my day.

Kellee and family are having a good time in Disneyland... Doc and family are off in Hawaii... Debbie and family in Tahoe... and Lori's dad visiting from Texas.... Ashlee and I are working this week.....
