Working in Santa Ynez

Today the whole gang worked long and hard to complete an entire DogWatch installation in one day. The property was on a beautiful ranch and they had tons of animals including 23 horses, 11 dogs, chickens, goats, and cows!

The horses were so interested in what we were doing


and they tried eating the green “grass” off the truck

Happy Quarter of a Century To Me!

It started with a yummy breakfast!

And I got pretty flowers!

Then we took the dogs to the park

We had a delicious picnic lunch!



Tanda surprised me with new fuzzy socks and cute turtle earrings!

Lasagna and parmesan rolls were on the menu for dinner

Followed by oreo cheesecake cupcakes

And Phase 10 (which I won!)

Thank you everyone for making my birthday super special, I love you guys!

BB King Concert!



Last night I surprised Casey with tickets to the BB King concert at the newly renovated Granada Theater. Casey has really gotten into playing his guitar and loves blues music, so who better to go see live than the King of Blues himself?! We couldn’t believe BB King is 86 years old! It was a great show and we had lots of fun 🙂
