Tidbits

We went to a fundraiser for Finally Family Homes over the weekend, where we played bingo and bid on silent auction items. 

Here I am with Christina, our friend and FFH's leader, with my winnings. Our bid was highest for this wine basket, which includes a gift card to a nice restaurant. I can see that being a nice dinner out for us for our 20th anniversary later this year.

Bingo! Poker was also on the cards - ha ha - but not for us. We stuck to what can be easily learned and played!

Coming home from my daily walk, I saw this group of vultures on the ground near our tot lot. I think they were finishing off a skunk, based on the fur I could see.

On another walk, just after our fishing weekend, I came across this VERY unusual sight on the paseo. The fish was huge! And it smelled! By the next day, it was gone. I'm sure some wild animal enjoyed it. Or vultures!

As part of a Mother's Day treat, Violet coated these strawberries in chocolate. She still has a sweet tooth, and is so good about making things to satisfy it. She also regularly makes mug cakes for dessert - single-serving microwaveable desserts.

Liana celebrated her 13th birthday with a backyard camping-themed party. Here, Violet is playing the "chubby bunny" game, where you win by stuffing the most marshmallows into your mouth.
