Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mother's out there, especially my lovely Daughter. Tom surprised me with these beautiful flowers. Was I shocked as I cannot remember the last time he actually bought flower for me. He also asked what I would like to eat that day, as we all know he is a great cook as well. All of you know me, steak and lobster. So off to the store we went to buy lobster tails and steak. Will have to take more pics. of that event to post. Just wanted all to see my beautiful flowers that my sweet husband bought for me, and to wish all a very Happy Mother's Day!!!

Nature"s Beauty


One of the most amazing features about living at the Lake is Nature's beautiful flowers she gives us. In this case we have these amazing cactus growing in our back yard. At night they close their blooms, but when the sun rises, they open up to show these beautiful flowers. Many of the humming birds are attracted to their sweet nectar as well as some bees.

Tom and I enjoy sitting on our deck and watching nature at her finest, sharing these beautiful flowers with us. So many beautiful sites to see here, which Pasadena never gave us. We are truly lucky to live in such a beautiful, peaceful and serene place.

New Addition to American Trends

Most of you know that on Thursdays, I work at my hair dressers, which is senior day. One of the stylist there, and one of my dearest friends has been expecting her first baby. She has had numerous showers and the customers have been very generous with gifts. We even had a pot going as to what day Terri would deliver. I missed the pot by one day, darn it. The customer that did win though gave all the money back to Terri, which I thought was very nice. If I had won and the rest of the crew agreed that we would have given the pot to Terri as well. On Fri.,
April 23, Terri gave birth to a 7lb 13oz baby boy. I present to you Tristan Christopher Molina!!!! He is quite a doll. I feel like another Grandma to him. I finally got to see him and held him when Terri returned home from the hospital. Congratulations Terri and John, you did good!!!
