delicious chocolate pound cake with chocolate chips for lunch, a picnic in the park on tuesday left me wondering why I don't do that more often and cleaning on monday made everything sparkle, until the dust settles again...

cool whip clouds... june2610_1 june2710_1june2610_2june2510_1 french toast breakfast, summer party, trampoline jumping, homemade cookies with lemon zest, sister chats, toys carrying surprise notes to be found later, sunday morning photos, fresh blueberries...and in just a blink or two June will have passed, full of sunshine and a little gloom, with whispers of popsicles and days by the pool yet to come

three days june2110_3 june202110_1june2110_1june2110_2 june2210_1 three beautiful days...

on Saturday a five month old baby fell fast asleep in my arms and I toasted marshmallows with friends around the fire
...
on Sunday I laughed until I had tears, then laughed some more, a day celebrating Dad at the fair with the whole family, perfectly wonderful
...
on Monday a dear friend and I sat by the pool while her little ones took swim lessons and later Case, Hermie and I enjoyed dinner at the park

evening
june1410_1june1410_2june1410_3june1410_4
at the park
...
Dad treated me and Case to a Padre game tonight. Along with baseball we enjoyed a behind-home-plate-view, hot dogs, peanuts, ice cream and a hot chocolate for me about half way through.
...
We even had a brief earthquake during the eighth inning.
...
I'm not much into baseball, but anytime I get to spend a night out with Dad and visit his special brick in the stadium is perfect whether they win or lose (they lost).

{Thank you, Dad!! xo}
