Summer Fun

Scott and I have been enjoying the last days before we have to go back to school. We are trying to shove lots of stuff in before it's time for work to begin again. We played golf a couple of times this week. I definitely need some practice!!!! We played Monday in Tracy, and Friday we played in Stockton with John Grimes and George Vierra, two fellow 6th grade teachers.

This week Nancy, Kierra, Ken, Cyndra, Emily, Nick, and I tried out a new business in town called Color Me Mine. It's a ceramic shop where you pick the piece of ceramic you want to paint. They bring you all the paint you need and then they fire it for you. My first project was a deviled egg plate that I did in a spring/Easter motif. You can see pictures of us all having fun. Friday night I picked mine up and it looks great! I think I've found a new addiction.

This week Nancy's new sun room was finished. Or is it the solarium? Or maybe the conservatory? Kyle did it the conservetory with the steak knife. . . .

So anyway, we sat for a few hours drinking cosmopolitans and enjoying the new room with the cool Pier 1 furniture. And what do you know, it's blue!

Today Meggin and I had a long, leisurely lunch at Wente. We'd been planning to do this all summer and we finally got to. Our lunch was a wonderful drawn affair that lasted from noon until 3:30. Then we went to one winery for some wine tasting. It was a very fun afternoon. My suggestion for dessert at Wente is the Mexican pot d'creme with homemade churros. It's the best fried dough you'll ever have!
