DINING IN THE GARDEN


We've added a dining area to our garden.  We found this table and six chairs on Craigs List and put it in place under the grape arbor.  Sunday evening we had our friends Rick and Edie over for wine and salad in the garden.  By the way, the floor is a fresh layer of hazel nut shells.

SKP VISITORS


Yesterday we had a delightful surprise when Paul Martin called and said he and Terry were passing through and wondered if they could stop and visit.  We invited them to use our guest RV site and just after coffee break in the afternoon they showed up.  We first met Paul when he sang at an evening campfire in Quartzsite.  We crossed paths again at the SKP rally in Stockton, California, which I think was in 2007.  His site was across the road from ours and he joined with the  Boomers for happy hour.  He and Terry have been traveling together for about a year and from here they are headed north into Washington.  We shared dinner and wine and spent a wonderful evening in conversation as RVer's are wont to do.

PREP WORK


Friday was Phelan's 7th birthday.  With the boys help, Marlene made cupcakes and the boys made colored frosting.

READY FOR THE CELEBRATION


When everything was ready, Ryder arranged the table.  It was a beautiful day.  One of the best we have had so far so we were outside on the deck for the decorating of the cupcakes and the lighting of the candles.

THE ARTIST AT WORK


When everyone had their fill of the fresh, warm cupcakes, Ryder got serious about making creations of colors and textures.
