Trip to Stockton, CA

On March 7, my coworker Mary and I flew to Sacramento, CA and rented a car to go on to Stockton. On the way there, I could see Lake Tahoe and snow covered mountain tops from the plane window. At the airport were some interesting works of art (look at the pictures!). It was beautiful country up there. Driving from Sacramento to Stockton, we saw a double rainbow, vineyards and almond trees. When you see the photos taken just before we landed, you'll see the flooding that continues to plague the area (the opposite of here!). The next morning, we set out to meet the Stockton Library Literacy Bus, "Training Wheels". We later met up with their bookmobile as well, and flew back to Las Vegas that evening. Good trip--we learned a lot, and we're even more excited to get our own bookmobile out there. It's in the shop getting wrapped, and should be ready any day!

Visit to Texas

Click on the links below to see pictures from my whirlwind visit to San Antonio, Boerne and New Braunfels. I had the best time, but it was way too short. I didn't get to see everyone that I wanted to, but almost! Anyway, I'm just glad that I got to see as many family and friends as I did.

Cozy Kitties

Elbie and Nothing have a favorite place to rest--a place where they feel safe and comfy--especially since Hubby put a jacket up on top of the cabinets in the laundry room. There's a hole, as you can see, right beside their resting place so that they can come and go when they please. And, Henry the Dog doesn't seem to know about it!

Acting Class

Below are pictures of Sonny doing some improv in one of his acting classes. He likes them a lot, and says that he's really learning a great deal from the experience!
