Vacation Days, Graduations, PicNic's

 

 

Took a couple of days off work.

Purchased a new air conditioner and
had to make some major furniture
arrangements to fit it in the window so
the cord could reach.
Since hubby is still job searching he
was available to help.

 

 

 

I was exhausted and every muscle hurt. hah

Since we worked so hard on

Thursday - Friday was going

to be play, relax and enjoy day.

Woke up early and headed out

for breakfast.

Oh I love their Avacado Benie !

It was such a gorgeous day we headed down to
Pier Village. It is on the ocean and has shops
and food joints.

 

 

 After shopping we found  a nice bench, enjoyed the sun
and people watching. The ocean was beautiful also.

 

We shopped at Carter & Cavero.

 

 


 

I tried a sample of the Chocolate Balsalmic vinegar.
It was pretty good.

 

 

Hubby treated himself to some Fig Jam.

 

 
 



Then we headed home and I was going to

completely relax.  My Aunt lives next

door and has a nice deck.

 

Read a little Guideposts.  Love this magazine.

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saturday up early to do laundry.

 

Nice breakfast at our favorite diner.

I love their Avacado Benie.

 

 

Then we were invited to a free seminar.

It was really informative about healthy

living and eating. Dr Proodian is Armenian

like my husband and a Christian.

 

 

 



 

After the seminar it was time for a Graduation Party.

This guy here graduated.

 

 

I can hardly believe it, I have known him

since he was born.  Way to go Joseph!

He is off to college.

 

The party was wonderful blessed to visit with

so many friends and a special visit from

our dear friends Ian and Rosemary from

England. 

 

The food was fantastic these friends

know how to do it. hah

 

Grilled clams, salmon, strip steak,

chicken wings, all kinds of salads, hamburgers,

hot dogs, ice cream cake, chocolates

from England.   So good!

 

Sunday we went my mother-in laws

annual Armenian picnic.

More yummy food.

 

The Der Hayr or Armenian Priest.

The guy in red is my hubbies cousin Greg.

 

 

 

This is Chris, my husbands cousins Adrienne's husband.

He is a great guy who does a lot of the cooking.

My favorite part of the food is the grilled veggies.

So delicious.

 

 

Had a great time and headed home.
