Well I just went to the store and got my watermelon for the holiday, I asked the produce guy where the corn on the cobb was and he said there wasn't any. The watermelon sucks here. Its pale pink and not sweet at all. Last summer I would be slicing up big beefsteak tomatoes and grilling corn on the cob. I would be putting flowers in my urns for the porch and cutting the grass. Jasper and I would be on the porch reading the paper waving to the neighbors.
Here my front door opens to two other peoples front doors, that I never see! The people next door to my enclosed patio have a whole wooded deck patio that I would die for. They never use it. Well, I can't blame them, I can't use mine either after 10 a.m. It gets so hot even the dogs can't go out there. Well, at least I can still walk them early morning and after dinner.
Its Memorial day. Lets take a little time to remember the many many people who have given all they had for this country. The families they left behind. If it were not for them, we would not be able to freely enjoy this day.

It RAINING in Colorado!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally, it is raining in Colorado. I just realized how much I miss those days, rainy days, sitting on my couch under one of the many fleece blankets I have made, hot cup of coffee, at least 2 or 3 books I am reading all at once, a warm doggie snuggled in a round ball next to me and looking out my window at the rain drizzling down outside. Cars driving by on the shiney roads. Sometimes a familiar truck pulls in my driveway and makes my heart jump.
I never realized how much I miss those rainy days. You never know what you have until you move 2000 miles away from it. I have always loved my simple life. I always said I am looking for my own Stars Hollow. I didn't realize I was already there. I already had my peace and serenity. I got greedy and wanted more out of life. It took a really big change in my life to realize what was really more important to me and what made me happiest. Sometimes winning the lottery isnt the best..................

Dim Sum Saturday
Another favorite past time is going to Dim Sum with my work family. These are the people I work with and we are very close. Chongmas my best friend, her husband Vincent and thier baby Kaila! Look at how big she has gotten. Celene is my manager and her daughter Bree. Roi our Team leader, Andy his wife and baby and Theresa my holistic tree hugger earth friend.
Dim Sum is like a chinese brunch of many many good appetizer type foods. We just spun that lazy susan around and enjoyed. Our last excursion was to Swing Tai, that was fantastic too. Of course we are missing more of our work team. More food for us...............
What is Dim Sum?
What is it, exactly? Let's start with what it is not. If you're the type that enjoys browsing through a menu, then a dim sum restaurant is not for you. There's no ordering; instead you choose from a wide assortment of snacks that the waiters bring out on carts and trays. Also, if you're looking to have a romantic lunch, then a dim sum restaurant probably isn't a good choice. First off, the atmosphere is hardly conducive to romance, what with the clattering of trays, people calling out their orders, and large groups of people talking at each table. Besides, the best way to enjoy dim sum is with a large group; otherwise you'll fill up on a few items and miss the opportunity to sample everything.

Cabin on Easter Weekend
04/15/2006
Now if I was home I certainly would not go for a walk at 6:52 a.m. while it was snowing. But here I am walking the dogs on a chilly morning, snow fluttering down. We can see the Vega Reservoir, its 80% frozen. There is snow up to the table top next to the cabin and snow covers the firepit completely. There was a nice big shovel near the door when we got here. Maybe I will get ambitious. Right now I am building small fires with the firewood I brought on the hibachi I have for cooking. Note to self and any others listening. Do not buy the cheap charcoal and fluid at Walmart. But the firewood is working much better and it’s kind of nice to have the campfire right on the front porch actually. The front porch is concrete. But the fire place in the cabin is cozy! We will be snuggled up to that this snowy afternoon. We have lots of books and magazines and I brought 2 huge knuckle bones for the boys. My plan is to tie each dog so they are just out of reach of each other to enjoy the bones completely.
I gotta go check the sausage on the fire.
