Summer Time

Not too much has been going on around here.  We are all back to work which is great! We have gotten out of the house a few times which has been great to alleviate some of the cabin fever; it has been serious during the pandemic.  We did find a tasty new spot down in Scottsdale that had a meal that was so reminiscent of me and my moms time in Paris.  Steamed mussels with garlic, french fries and rose.  What's not to love!!  I have taken the big girls on a few dates.  Jillian and I went to a  vibrant new brewery which is pretty close to our house.  The decor was unique and the beer was tasty!! We also did a socially distanced 4th of July staycation and we lucked out and got a great firework show. 

       

We've had some silly times being at home.  I was told the toilet was smoking and I needed to take a look, LOL!  The dogs have been loving having us home extra I am sure.  They are such snuggle buddies. 

We also really miss these munchkin heads!!  So glad they are safe with Ma'am and Dadgum but can't wait for them to come home!!  They will be back soon as online school starts in a few short weeks. 

Hope you are healthy and well!! XOXO, Amber

Albuquerque 2020

We made our annual road trip to take the littles to Ma'am and Dadgum's house for a few weeks.  It was amazing.  Their house is always magical but especially so in the summer.  We played with the hose, ran through the sprinklers and had a water balloon fight.  We had a catfish fry with fresh garden tomatoes. We had some tasty take out from Taco Cabana. I loved seeing their garden; the difference between their garden and mine is so interesting to see because of the different climates that we live in. They both certainly have a green thumb that I continue to hope rubs off on me!! The kids have been interested in perfecting their gin rummy skill so I am sure I will have some experts when they come home.  All in all it was a great weekend and I am so happy my kids have such a fun place to be always but especially during the shutdown for this pandemic we are having.  

Until next time.  XOXO,  Amber
