Thank you all so much for wishing me a speedy recovery from my hideous cold/flu bug. You guys are the best.
Last Tuesday when Mimi started feeling better, the Mister decided we needed a little break from our chores and projects here at Mimi's Cottage so we got in the car and drove to Los Angeles.
The Mister had a lovely time at Westec. It's a huge convention/expo with all kinds of manly things like machines, tools, and lots of testosterone. He loved every minute.
While the Mister was at the convention, Mimi had a wonderful time here...
And here...
I was having such a good time at places like Anthropology and cute little shops I forgot to take pictures. But you get the idea...
That evening we went to Santa Monica for dinner.
We walked out on the Santa Monica Pier.

Mimi wanted to go to this school but it was closed. Darn it!
One of the things Mimi misses most about California is the ocean. I lived my entire life until 2002 just a few miles from the beautiful Pacific Ocean.

The next day we visited with some very important people. Our adorable grandgirls! Oh, and their parents. We went to an Open House at the sweetpeas's school and saw this. Move over Vincent Van Gogh!
Such a nice Kindergarten teacher...
And a warm Saturday morning watching a soccer game...
This cute girl scored a goal for her Mimi...

Now we're back in chilly Utah. We have carpet for the basement coming today. I have a lot of catching up to do. We had lots of fun in California but it's so good to be home.

I'm considering blowing up some of your images and pasting them over my windows, for something happier to gaze upon for the rest of the week. Looks like happiness to me. :)
Mimmi, glad you had fun in Santa Monica, I love road trips. I missed you here in Utah! Darn...Mindy broke her leg and it's my turn to go and help. It's fun being with them no matter what! love the grandkids. I love catching up with you on the blog!

Hi Mimi Sue, I'm glad your feeling better and I'm so happy you and your sweet man went on that road trip. I wish I could have gone with you to the antique mart. I hope you'll share what you found. And how fun to see your grandgirls. What wonderful weather. Sorry you had to come back to snow.
John and I are leaving Easter Morning for St. George. We'll be there for a week, staying at the Abby Inn. I'm taking my sewing machine and a new kit I bought for a quilt. Plus I will be checking out the antique store.
The next week though, let's meet at Just a bed of Roses again, OK.
Big Hugs
