Monday!

Choko resting on his throne enjoying the day. This is where Choko surveys his world from and makes sure everything and everybody is where they are supposed to be.
Our old house. Jessica, Bonnie and Kaitlyn lived in this house. The memories...
When I arrived at Mom and Dad's, Mom had plans for us today. Errands that needed to be done and places to go! So we headed over to "The Market" for lunch. Similar to "Whole Foods" we were able to fix ourselves a wonderful salad AND a great bowl of soup. I had the Chicken Tortia which definitely had a bit of spice to it. Just wonderful!!! The salad was great also. Just to many items to choose from.
From there we headed over to the shops and wandered around for a bit. Afterwards it was time to get the errands done. Cleaners, Great Clips (as seen here) and corn relish had to be found.
Upon our arrival back at the house it was obvious that Angie was terribly upset by our departure and just had to take a nap to get over the upset of being left behind...
For dinner we were able to meet up with Rick, Candy and Miss Taylor. Its always so good to see
them when we come into town and tonight was no different. We all met up at a favorite Mexican Restaurant and had a lively conversation about all our teen years. I won't go further with those descriptions but know that we all left still a family and friends, just little more informed.

Wow! I mean WOW! I can't believe Taylor is so big now, I forget she is about the same age as Kaitlyn and Kristina. And I didn't know that was Rick at first... I do miss everyone down there and hope to visit sooner then later.

And Does our house at Mountain Pass ever look smaller then I remember. Yes... the memories! I miss it all!

Wow! I haven't seen Rick, Candy, or Taylor since 1998. Nice to see and hear they are doing well. Haven't seen the old house since 2004, so that was a flashback. Ah memories. Wow, I am still in shock. Please pass on hello's and hugs for me.

I knew when I put that pic up that you two inparticular would be commenting. Kaitlyn was to young to remember it. Doesn't it still look great though! The back yard still looks the same. Maybe I'll try to get a pic of it for you guys.
Taylor is actually older than Kristina by 3 weeks. Hard to believe. She is just precious and so sweet. You guys would just love her.

Well of course we would comment that's where our first memories are. I have a correction for Jessica.... last time we saw Rick, Candy and Taylor was at my wedding... 2000. So almost nine years have gone by. I haven't seen Grammie and Papa since our trip with mom and dad when Elizabeth was just 6 or 7 months old. I would one day like to get a newer four generations picture.

I was telling the girls some stories about mama climbing the trees, hunting for eggs and sitting outside the window drawing with chalk... that is before Bumpy caught me and I got into trouble! OOPS!

There are tons of stories to be told in that house, I still have dreams of us in it. It will always look great!
