My Family (and the Lakers) Rock!

Silly me....I didn't post a picture from Jeff's birthday dinner....Here he is with his two favorite boys....Neil and Jordan really liked the booth...they kept playing with the buttons...and Jeff kept telling them that they had to behave because they were in a "nice" restaurant.

The pink cake is the Guava Cake from Vienna Bakery...it's wasn't from Napoleon's or Leonard's Bakeries in Hawaii...but, it was good!

Did I mention that my family rocks? Gary and Preston gave me the tote for my cricut machine...I love it...can you see the cricket in the stitching?

My other brothers gave me the below books...I love it!!! Sewing, Knitting and Jewelry making...sigh, my favorite hobbies!

Speaking of sewing...we had to go to Salinas yesterday afternoon because Jeff had problems with the torch that my Dad let him borrow. First he was out of one of the gases he needed, so, Dad brought him a new tank at lunch Saturday. When he got home he realized that the nozzle did not fit...so, he said that we were going to Salinas...and my Dad cut the barrels....hmmm, I could have sworn I SUGGESTED THIS A FEW MONTHS AGO....anyways....I was able to go to Beverly's in Salinas.

They carry a lot of different material than Joann's. It was fun looking at the material with my Mom. I even found a new pattern from Amy Butler that were really cute. I ended up buying the Madison Bag pattern...and when I went back to Mom's, I found some others online...that were FREE!!! I am so into FREE patterns. (Julie --- check out the site...I think you will like it!)

Oh well, there goes my plans to put away the sewing machine for a while....

And finally, the NBA Finals...the Lakers win....99 to 86....deep down, I am glad...but, it would have been nice to see it go to a game 7.
