ME. GRAMPS. WES. — ADVENTURE DAY: Breakfast at IHOP, included hashbrowns and orange juice. Drove to Grass Valley strolled around town, started to rain, got out my pink polka dot umbrella. Had hot soup and lunch at a quaint little restaurant and sat cozied up inside by the big window, watching people walk by. Checked out the art galleries, bookstore and some other fun shops. Bought my yoga bell and Nag Champa incense. Drove around town looking at picturesque houses nestled in the mountainside and surrounded by pine trees. Drove home listening to music with the rain falling, laughing and loving our conversations. Wes and I went grocery shopping. Made dinner. Went to the movies and then went home and ate rocky road ice cream next to our roasty toasty fire. PERFECT DAY.

P.S It was Gramps 88th Birthday on March 10. He is the cutest man alive. And I can't wait to see Wes and him in two weeks for the big TO DO — Chad and Katie ladies wedding!!!

Here's how this works, I LOVE making lists — so for almost ten years now I have made a WINTER WONDERLAND list (for the fall and winter) and then my SUMMER EXTRAORDINAIRE (for spring and summer) it's just a list of a bunch of fun things to do. Don't ever get to all of them, but I do quite a few. So I am about ready to make my summer list and every year it just gets longer and longer...
