Garage Sales

This past Memorial Day the family and I went to the Annual Point Richmond City Wide Garage Sale. This has become a family tradition for us for the past 6 years (although we didn't get to go last year, so you can say that we've only gone for 5 years).

We try to bring some of our family with us but only my brother and his family were able to join us. It was so much fun walking up and down the streets of Point Richmond seeking treasure. I felt like I was on a treasure hunt. When I found that one thing for only $1.00, I got all excited. All of us, even the kids, were finding really great stuff. ALB was able to get reunited with his old supervisor who happens to live on the tip top hill of Point Richmond.

Afterwards, we had lunch at Sizzler in Pinole. Then stopped at a few stores at the Plaza, then went home and took a 5 hour nap! It was such a fun time! Can't wait til next year.

Belated Mother's Day

My beloved gave me a gift for Mother's Day to support my latest hobby, baking cupcakes. Since he ordered it online it took sometime to get here. Today it came! Here it is...

"What is it?" Well, it's a Cupcake Courier, of course! I've been transporting my cupcakes in the foil pans with lids, that you get at the supermarket. Those worked fine until I had to bring lots, and lots of cupcakes. With the fear of having messy cupcakes, I would often frost them when I arrived to the location. With these, there's no need to fear. These are great. Here's a description from cupcakecourier.com, "The CUPCAKE COURIER is a rectangular, translucent plastic container that holds three stackable cupcake trays. Each tray has 12 deep cups to hold each cupcake secure. It has a comfortable handle, and 4 bottom latches that hold the base securely."

Yay! Thanks honey! I love you!
