Eton's Mess

In celebration of Catherine and Prince William's wedding I made my own Eton's Mess.  It is supposedly Will's favorite dessert and just a little different version of one we used to make.  Delicious!

Back Home, April 2011


I am back home in Lake Almanor and have much news to add but it will have to come later.  I am trying to clean my house and get rid of everything I don't need, and it is exhausting me!!! 

I am not ready for this, I have no energy.  Oh, well, I will soon.  And spring is on the way.  I can hardly wait.   In the summer my yard will look like the above.  

Right now it is covered with many, many broken branches, a little snow and lots of twigs and such...what a mess!  Will I be able to clean it up as i usually do??  For some reason my half acre looks more like an acre this year...

Party at the Hardy's Before I Go Back to Lake Almanor

The night before I left we had a little party at the Hardy's. We ate and played some silly games. We learned a little more about Maria's new husband Johnny and he learned a little more about us.

James and Camber are always very generous with their home and welcoming everyone.   

Maria and Johnny had been moving furniture all day and were very tired.

I had a lot more pictures but this is the only one that survived for some reason!  

Grandma and Kelsi

Before I left Rancho Santa Fe Kelsi and I shared a picture. She is always such a delight to me.

Happy Birthday Kelsi!

Kelsi and I share a moment as she wraps herself in the "I Love Grandma" comfy blanket I made for her. Kelsi is a Big Five on April 13!

Maria and Johnny Marry











 

Back Home for Cake!

On April 2, my daughter Maria married Johnny Rasimas, to start a new life together.
This is a backward story of their wedding.

After the wedding on the beach we all came back to their beach house on Law St for wedding cake.  There was actually two, one her friend Vickie had sent which is pictured here.  It was Maria's favorite carrot cake.  And another beautiful white wedding cake that Michelle Hinton, Johnny's sister, furnished.  Both were delicious.


Feeding each other as man and wife.


Kelsi like the top of the white cake.

Krisit is having a baby daughter this month.

Meagan enjoys eating her cake while Keira gets passed around.

Canber and James share the cake.



Loving couple, Meagan and Matt.

The carrot cake--so good.

Beautiful setting in Pacific Beach at the end of Law Street.

The clouds had come in but this scattered the crowd.  We had the beach to ourselves.
