Maybe Monday - Last month of volunteer

October is our last month to volunteer at the senior center unless the new company will request the volunteers to stay and continue doing the same work we have been doing.  My MIL, Sylvia and our friend Barb have started looking for other places to volunteer.  There's a place called Second Harvest or Loaves and Fishes.  Both places are looking for volunteers to help with their nutrition program.  I guess we still have a month to figure it all out or we can just take a couple of months break and start in the new year.  Does this mean I have an extra day to golf??

Talking about golf, this is the week of the Fry's Open and it will be near our area.  Guess who is suppose to show up?  Tiger Woods, that's right he will be golfing and I am sure he would love to win, but I sort of agree with Greg Norman, that "Tiger is done winning majors".  He still has a lot of support from his fans, but mentally I truly believe he is still not 100% - deep down inside he is still suffering from his career going down the drain after the "incident".  Maybe he can win, can he?

What have I done??

Soulful Sunday - Visitation Over

It was short and sweet.  Our Canadian friends Barb and Greg left today to continue their journey to other parts of northern California. We had a nice visit on Friday and again on Saturday.  For dinner we served a Mexican Meal which includes Carne Asada (beef BBQ) and Carnitas (pork) tacos, mango salsa, spicy jalapeno beans, Mexican rice, and for dessert - peach cake and ice cream.

They went to Mt. Harmon to do zip lining on Saturday morning and in the evening they went to watch the College Football - Stanford and some other team.  We were able to serve dinner early in order for them to get to the game on time.  Barb made an awesome Sangria with strawberry, lemon, red wine, triple sec, soho liqueur, and Sprite zero.  A very nice cool drink while we had our dinner in the backyard.  I cooked filipino lumpia, chicken BBQ marinated in Sesame garlic sauce, rice noodles (pancit) and for dessert, turon (deep fried banana roll). 

This morning we are having a grand slam breakfast by chef Jeff which includes dollar pancake, french toast, warm syrup, ham, bacon and eggs.  Since both Barb and Greg are not coffee drinker, Barb only tried our Chai Latte from Keurig. 

Unfortunately I won't be able to post their review of their stay at CPBB but as soon as I receive them, it will be posted for sure.  We wish them a safe trip back to Canada and hope to see them again.  We now look forward to our next guests A&R who will be arriving on 10/10.

Simply Saturday - Simple Nail Design

When in a rush this simple nail design is the perfect one to use.  I saw this from my daughter's blog and thought that I would try it one day.  So that day is today.  I used the OPI Katy Perry Blue sparkle.

Not as good as my daughter's nail design

Talking about simple, last Thursday we did not have anything for me to cook so we decided to go out for dinner.  We have not been at this small restaurant in the same plaza as Lucky's.  The menu has changed a bit and they had a family deal so we decided to try it out.  Check out these yummy meals.

String beans with chicken = not too spicy

Chili chicken - good but not as great as the ones from China Palace in Canada

Dumplings as appetizers for the family deal.

Remember the roses my MIL gave me last Sunday, this is how it looks now that they've all opened up.  That's all for today.  I hope to post a better one for Sunday.  Welcome the month of October.  Happy Birthday Nerges! ! !  I hope you have a great day and you are having fun with your friends and family.
