Purrdy Flowers

The other day, my Hunny brought me these colorful flowers to brighten up my office. Luckily my vase (not seen here) showed up just in time.

Father's Day

Our family didn't get enough of each other during the two weeks we spent together in Europe so we had our Father's Day celebration a week later on Sunday. Actually, several of the fathers didn't get to go on the trip so we decided that the food theme would be a tribute to the palpable provisions from Portugal: roast suckling pig, seafood paella, boiled veggies, fresh fruit, and a whole lot of other yummy stuff. See food here.

Playboy JazzFest 2007

We went to the 29th Annual Playboy Jazz Fest. I loooove live music. We had an awesome box seat that Charlie and Mills so kindly shared with us. Since this is our second year coming with them, we were all pretty well prepared with artichokes, caprese salad, other tasty snacks and of course... BOOOOZE. Dave made a sweet sangria, Charlie brought the brandy, and we wet our whistles on the wine. Did I mention the cheese? Well, there it was. =P
Btw... Etta James is one crazy (and NAAASTY) lady. And did anyone ever notice her freakishly huuuuge hands?! But I have to say this... as wHack as she is... she's an awesome performer! Check out the pics and videos from our fun night here.

Travelling Me

Our family just got back from an amazing trip to Spain and Portugal. We had a blast with 18 of our crazy family members for two whole weeks! I do have to say that I found Portugal to be much friendlier than Spain and the service waaaay better. When they serve you food at a restaurant in Spain, they plop it in front of you and then you never see them again! But in Portugal they come back to make sure everything is alright and even joke around with you. I also brought Pablo along. That crazy monkey kept popping into random people's pictures.
P.S. Pics of the trip to be posted on my picasa site here. I have a few from Spain up, but I took over 2000 pictures so give me another week or so to sort thru them.

I'm back!!!

yay!! It works now!! more to come!!
