Sign Here

Amy Allen from Family Connections Christian Adoptions did the coolest thing. She held a signing ceremony for all the kids in preparation for the imminent event. Very sweet, very moving. Lynn wasn't the only one welling up. The twins were asleep; they'll have to sign at another time. Each certificate was personalized, and spot on; Amy knows them very well.

Last Day at Far Western Tavern in Guad

Rob and I managed to catch lunch at the famous Far Western Tavern on its last day of business in Guadalupe. The amazing part was that we happened to be there, quite coincidentally, for the motorcycle ride through the bar! Here are some other now very historical photos: http://JF2.com/121007/

Pumpkins Everywhere!

There is nothing like a trip to the Nipomo Pumpkin Patch! This is our third year, and it gets better every year. Believe them when they say it takes a good-sized truck to get some of their bigger pumpkins home.

Jen's Birthday Dinner

We were only a little late getting Jen's birthday celebrated this year. But thank goodness everyone understands that we rarely hit the exact day. Trevor came over a little early to help us get a jump on the cooking and the wine drinking. It was a familiar French bill-o-fare: Peppered steaks in a creamy mushroom sauce, leeks au gratin, a fresh garden salad including avacado, candied walnuts, and a cilantro dressing, yummy bread and butter, and apple tart. Oh, and we threw in some Banana's Foster for good measure.

Do You Take Cream or Sugar?

The man knows exactly how he likes his coffee. He'll fix it himself, thank you very much. Yes, that's real coffee. And yes, he's good for at least one full cup at McLintock's.

Robob took the whole gang to McLintock's for breakfast today, and we were even down one adult (Matt was in Colorado on business). Brave soul!

Threshing Bee

When was the last time you attended a threshing bee? Yeah, we had never been to one before either. What a hoot! And why did we not know about this Jack Creek Farms place?! Very fun, very family place to visit. And they have events happening all the time; at least it seems like that for Fall anyway.
