Working on the patio

Jose has been a champ while I've been flat on my back sneezing and coughing. He's almost finished paving the back patio. It looks great and is so much better than before and more room for Miski to play too :) last pic is of our very own home grown spinach that we had in a salad recently. It was great!

My two puppies

How cute are Miski and jose! I love this photo and the very contented look on her face :)

beautiful sunset

we had a beautiful sunset last night and i could not resist taking a few pictures. miski is so lucky that the window goes all the way to the floor and she watched all the birds fly over the house on their way home or wherever they go at sunset.  i love our view. more photos here

tired jose and veggies

Poor jose is so tired from all the work outside. How cute are they! Also planted some more veggies and a semi dwarf mandarin tree the other day. Loving the garden. Got two Chinese horse statues for the garden too :)

hanging more photos

got this great frame at a garage sale and I put some of our peru and other south america pics. love it!

Playing wii and patio work

Jose has been enjoying his time at home. Sadly I have been flat on my back with the flu. Oh well it means he's had uninterrupted wii time :) we rented another jackhammer and jose made quick work of the last of the cement out back. Just have to pave it now whee! Wish I could help. Jose has also been driving me around now he has his license. It has been awesome.

red velvet cake heaven

after all the stress I've been under and the travel I guess it shouldn't be a big surprise when I woke up very sick with the flu. Great. Poor jose, every time he comes home I relax and get sick. Anyway the day before I got sick we took Miski for a run and I made red velvet cake from scratch. My favorite!
