Hello My friends again

This weekend we took off and went to Occidental again. On the way up there I called Johns sister and asked her and her husband to meet us for dinner. His brother and his wife were meeting us, it should be fun. I was only able to leave a message, she is always out somewhere, running errands. They own and run a dairy, and there is always something to be done. We didn't know if they were going to meet us or not, until we got a message later on at the restaurant. As it turned out, we all got to get together and have dinner, have drinks and a very fun time. us girls can sit and talk and laugh all night long. there is always something to say. those guys can drink and talk all night long, there is always more to drink. lol. Its really a lot of fun to get together. we are all going on 25 years of being family together. My sister in law and brother in law and myself are considered the outlaws in the family. its a joke with us cus when they used to take family pictures, even after we were married into the family, we would be told, just the family. which excluded us. So, we would take our own separate pictures as the outlaws, none of their family. We thought it was funny, maybe you just had to be there.

Before the night was over, we had decided that part of the family would come over the hill to our side of town and go wine tasting. We could rent a limo or stay in a hotel up there. I have tried to get Johns brother and his wife out here so many times, but something always happens and they cant come out. I cant blame them for what happens, its not their fault, but I keep trying. we are all pretty busy, so its might be a challenge to find one weekend that we can all get out together. we will figure it out though.

We got up early this morning around 8 and went for breakfast. it was so yummy, but neither of us could finish it. we both got denver omelette's with biscuits. we usually get something from each other. I'm glad we got it. the bell peppers and onions were grilled separately and there was lots of cheese in them. oh, they were good. That is my favorite omelet. After breakfast as we were leaving town, I asked john to drive up some roads we had never been on up in the back of town. we found a bed n breakfast inn that i had heard was there, but didn't know where it was. I went in and got some info and a price sheet. It is twice as much, but also has twice as much to offer, spas in the rooms, breakfast, wine tastings, private balconies with views. I want to go there next time i think. www.innatoccidental.com

So after we got home, I had to go pick up a prescription at walmart. On the way there, i stopped and got some more fabric to work on the quilt i am making. when I was at the fabric shop, I gave my extra coupons to another couple to use, since i couldn't use them. They were making a memory quilt also, and I told them a few pointers I had discovered, no sense in making them learn on their own. After, I went to pick up my prescription. I also bought a new pair of work boots. on the way out, i dropped my debit card. it was in a small envelope thingy along with my drivers licence and costco card. I didn't realise this until I got home. I panicked and drove right back to walmart. I parked near to where I parked before, walked the same path i waked before. as it turned out, the card was turned in to the store, everything in tacked. I was panicking. I don't carry a purse, just that little packet of my info. but some wonderful person turned it in. Thank you to that honest wonderful person. I know this may seem silly, but i think if you give it comes back to you. maybe giving this coupons to strangers helped my karma for a stranger to help me. I don't know, but I am so very grateful.

I just went and looked at how long this has gotten. I think its time i ended for today. see ya all later.
