My Life 2009-part 2

I had an amazing trip to Las Vegas where I was a special guest at the Bouchon restaurant in the Venetian. I was treated by the head baker, Chris Herrin, to the best treats the Bouchon has to offer, including a personal tour of the kitchen. Totaling 9 different dessert tasting. YUM!

I painted my mailbox down by the road.There was a HUGE bee hive in one of the trees out by the barn.

I enjoyed every full moon. Caveman built a "cave" (aka shop).

Enjoyed my beautiful flowersHad many GREAT visits with my sister, Jen. Soaked up and loved every "Grammy" moment I possible could.

FAMILY

Started making a dream I have had for a long, long time start to become a reality.

Love to all,

Heaven

I'm in heaven

and the cares
that hung around me
through the week
seem to vanish
