We had a really fun weekend with Becky. We had not really had any good one-on-one visiting time in a good long time, so this weekend was special. She got here around lunchtime on Saturday and the plan was to have tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches....I had agreed to make them. Thankfully we had a lot of bread and cheese, because I didn't think the griddle was heating enough and burned the first set of sandwiches :>( - things got better from there.
After lunch Jim and Becky went to the driving range and for a quickie tour around the golf course. After they got home and Jim started dinner (hey - remember I made lunch!), Becky and I worked on her resume. She's graduating in June and needs to start seeking out opportunities. She has a lot more experience than she thinks she has, along with some very good leadership skills. I hope potential employers see that.
Dinner was delicious and nothing got burned. We made home made ice cream (yum) and watched TV.
Sunday brunch at The Nines is a must do for visitors to our house, so we did that after a quick tour of downtown Rio Vista (that takes less than an hour!). After lunch we came home and visited a little while. It's a long drive back to Santa Cruz, and Becky had papers she still needed to work on for school, so she was on her way.
It was such a nice day we decided to drive into Antioch and get some flowers for the patio. Off we went to Target. We bought a few plants and found a bench cushion that matches our patio set perfectly.
With daylight savings time in effect, we had daylight longer, so we moved the patio furniture out of the living room (it's been there since before Christmas!) and started rearranging everything in the back. It's beginning to look pretty good, but still needs a little work. After my Kare Bears meeting today I'll plant the flowers. While I'm off at the meeting, Jim said he would get the flower pots filled and do some more rearranging. It's all enjoyable work.

PICTURE OF THE DAY
This is the t-shirt Becky gave Jim last year for Father's Day. While he wears it often on the golf course, he can't wear it while he watches Fox News because it gives him a political rash. He seems to be ok wearing it when he watches Real Time with Bill Mahr... :>) Don't you just love the expression on his face - he seems to be saying "I'm wearing this for my granddaughter."
Love to all,
Corrie and Jim
