Fall Company

Fall has been a lovely time for company. Thanks one and all for sharing time with us.

Loved the Girls night out in September at Chart House to celebrate Mary Margaret's birthday. If you go be sure to try the Lava Cake.

The Mirandas joined us for our second annual Sunday morning General Conference Feast on the Word Breakfast. We had the Paula Deen French Toast Casserole and an egg dish similar to this link with green chilies, and dressed up with salsa, sour cream and my favorite - guacamole. Yummy!

I love hearing our spiritual leaders give us guidance. I am looking forward to getting the November Ensign and highlighting the messages and reliving the insights again.

Baby brother Matthew came to visit from Maryland this week and cousin Rene from New Jersay was also in town at the same time visiting Aunt Karen. We spent a lovely evening eating Eric's delicious kabobs and catching up. Matt is 'on tour' and playing several venues in SoCal, Salt Lake City, Santaquin, San Francisco and back to Costa Mesa. I really enjoy his acoustic music.

I also enjoyed a lovely day with Luke. We went shopping at Trader Joe's to replenish Keileigh's college cupboards. (There are some things you can only find at TJ's.) Then we made a great Vegetarian Polenta dish that we enjoyed in New Hampshire with Ben & Caitlin. Luke said discovering polenta was like the day he discovered couscous, it just makes you happy. We had great fun and good conversation. I'm so glad Luke added us to his fall break itinerary!

We love having company here in California. Hope to see you too!
