Happenings

Well, it's been a while since I have posted something. Not much has been happening - oh, who am I kidding stuff is always happening, it's just not happening to me as of late. I last wrote mid-summer and now we are fairly well into fall. The leaves are changing and the clouds are rolling in and the rain is pouring down. Sitting inside my cute little house with an afgan and a cup of joe, reading Uncle Tom's Cabin (my latest read) sounds so good to me right now.


Me and my wonderful Grandma!


Tre and I went down to Santa Cruz, California for my Grandma's 88th birthday. We had lunch at a beautiful resort on the coast (where my cousin Steve got married in 2006 and where my parents tried to chop down their first Christmas tree -- great story, ask me about it some time). My Grandma was delighted to see everyone and she really took to Tre - by the end of our visit she was showing him the "right" way to brew tea and she gave us one of her beautiful paintings. Tre kept saying, "your Grandma is so precious."


We tried to go the boardwalk, but it closed at 10 and we got there too late to ride the rollercoaster. One of these days we'll do it. We had Katie take a picture of us outside of the locked down boardwalk. Isn't it romantic?



Speaking of romantic... Tre and I went to dinner for our 77th day anniversary. We were seated for a good five minutes before we realized that the restaurant had personalized our menu. Tre and I dressed up and had a great time. I love him sooo much -- He sent me flowers at work too. He's sent me flowers at work twice before - he sent me a peace lilly when I was having a hard time with my boss one day and a yellow rose after our first date. He is so thoughtful...
Happy 77th Day Anniversary



I found a nesting hummingbird at work. She's been sitting on her eggs for about a month now, so I'm getting worried that they're duds. She'd know, I just keep hoping they end up hatching. It seems like a weird time of year, but I'm probably worrying for nothing.

Here is a picture of her.
