Estate Sales

My neighbor and I went to a few estate sales today. I bought a big framed print and a beautiful wallet. I really love the print. It looks very similar to the picture below. I am getting a book at the library to find out more about it. As a bragging point, we stayed in a hotel in that area. It is a meaningful find for me.

Happy Anniversary and 5K

I ran in the Race for the Cure 5K today with some friends. There were 20,000 people participating and that made it a little hard to jog at times. You had to really work hard to zig zag through the crowd/mob and it made it a little frustrating when you reached an impasse. I wasn't able to run the entire thing yet anyways so it worked out. My only goal was to beat my time from last years race of 53 min. This race was done in about 40-45 min. So I am improving! It was a good girly time. Honestly, I don't think that I will want to do that one again next year. I like smaller races with maybe only a couple of hundred people...

Art Source Gallery
Later on that day, Willy and I had a date and left CM with a babysitter. We ate some amazing pizza outside while looking at the foothills. We drove around downtown a bit and we were considering going to an art gallery to listen to music but it seemed too serious. We were committed to having a very laid back anniversary. Willy had the awesome idea of miniature golf. So we went to a place just like Malibu in FL and did the arcade, golf (I won by 2) and batting cages. Willy hit 20/24 balls and I hit almost 12/24. It was my first time and I really enjoyed it. We laughed a lot together and won a snap bracelet.

Mom, we found the hat

I had such a good time with Jenna and Don's visit. It was a lot of fun seeing how much Cole enjoyed his Auntie Jenna and newly honored Unckie Don. :) S-P-O-I-L-E-D

I think they got a good first intro to Idaho. They got a taste of neighborly hospitality and some home made wine, Easter-Dallas style, Idaho City, snowboarding and hiking at Bogus Basin, foothills and our Hyde Park.

It made me feel so good that Jenna cried a few times on the way and at the airport. I will miss her very much and I am proud that our friendship has remained so real for all of these many, many, many years.

Here is a link to some pictures.

We also volunteered in the Unplug and Be Outside event. I think Cole and I may have been on the news but I wouldn't really know. We were filmed being cute and beautiful looking at an observation hive.
