I've been so glad that I am here in Cali with my daughter. She had her wisdom teeth out last week and since she is no longer a teenager, it's been pretty painful. I am so glad she is doing well and healing. We've had quiet days with me taking care of her and enjoying some quiet time myself.
They are so pretty
Yesterday I had the chance to meet a blog friend for lunch! Betsy of My Salvaged Treasures and I have been online friends for several years and have been planning to meet sometime when I came to Cali to visit Ashleigh. This time our schedules worked out and we had lunch...A 3 1/2 hour lunch!
We talked and talked and could have gone on and on but Betsy had to get back home.
Thank you Betsy for driving down to meet me, the sweet gifts and especially your friendship!
Back home all is well. Sara is back to work and the kids started back to school this week.
Tiger had his first day of 3 yr old pre-school
Before school Tiger had some end of summer adventures
Tomorrow I leave but guess what?
I'm stopping in Denver for a long weekend with my friend Kathe! So excited and you know there will be photos!
Wishing You JOY,
Linda

I had so much fun visiting with you Linda. I still can't get over how fast the time went by and never a dull moment!! I know it's going to be hard to say "see you soon" to Ashleigh, but you'll be back together in no time. Hope she's feeling much better. Tiger is going to be so excited to see you. Have a great time in Colorado!!
So glad you get to meet not one but two blogging buds! Tiger is getting so big.
I'm glad Ashleigh is doing better~! And that the two of you have had a good time together. And how fun to meet Betsy! Oh, preschool is such a first "big boy" step! Congrats little man!! You and Kathe are so on my mind! I am so freakin' excited for both of you!
School already? Tiger is growing up so fast!

Glad you had a nice visit with your blogging friend. It's amazing how time flies...Tiger starting school. My daughter, Jess, is a Montessori school teacher here in Ottawa. She is on leave right now being home with Gwynn. I'm sure Charlie will be so happy to see you. Hugs
Sounds like fun- not counting the wisdom teeth!!
I love those boots - what a sweet pic!!
Have fun!
Well you have had just a good time meeting up with blogging friends, how fun and online friendships have become even more real. Love "Warrior Tiger" in those boots, you should frame that one, Linda. He is so cute.
Love this post! So happy all worked out well and your daughter is on the mend. Tiger is so cute!

My, it has been a good week for you and what great photos! Thank you for sharing all the smiles with us. I'm glad your daughter is better after having her wisdom teeth removed. I remember having a couple removed when I was a teenager and it caused quite a bit of pain the night after.
Hope you continue to enjoy the rest of your week!
Tiger looks so much like you up close. I'm glad you got to spend time with your daughter! And you got to meet Betsy! I am SO jealous! What a cute photo of the two of you...happy smiles!!! What a fun trip you're having! Sweet hugs Sis!
Warrior Tiger! I love that photo! And already in school and learning :-) Only about 10 hours until I pick you up at the airport!! Squeeeee!
oh,boy, preschool!!!Time flies. You have had a very buys summer! How fun to meet a blogging friend.
warmly,

You DID have a great week. So glad you got to meet Betsy... I hope to meet her one day. Tiger Warrior...soooo cute. I can't believe he's already 3. Wow.. time is flying by! Glad you were able to be there for Ashleigh and that she is healing!
So glad you could be with your daughter--had my wisdom teeth out at 28 and could have used my Mom :) She picked out some lovely blooms! My Ginger Grand also starts Montessori next week. My oldest daughter will be visiting at the end of the month & I am counting the days! Hugs, Cecilia
Linda, so glad your daughter is doing well and you had special time to meet a blogging friend. The kids look ready to get back to school, we start on the 18th. I went to register Little Buddy today, he qualifies for our public school pre-k program, hooray!
Hugs and have a great time on your stop before you get home.

Glad to hear your daughter is doing well and that you're having a nice time Linda! Lovin' Tiger's new boots!!! Enjoy your weekend visit and have fun:@)
It is good to hear that Ashleigh is doing well now. I love her choice of flowers. Sending wishes for safe travels! Tiger will be full of lots of stories. xo
Hi Linda....So glad you have had some nice moments with your daughter.
Tiger sure is growing up! Bet you will be so happy to see him again.
Hope your flight home is terrific, too. Susan
Coming to say hello from Betsy! So nice you two got to get together for a while! What a nice treat! What lovely flowers and blooms, so pretty! :) Have a good weekend! xo Holly
I love little Warrior Tiger and that you got to meet Betsy.
A bloody great post
I just love this post Linda. Is there any flower more gorgeous than fuchsia? Tiger is looking mighty cute these days. How cool and fun to meet a fellow blogger, and you get to do it twice. Yay for you!
Linda, The fuchsia is such a pretty plant. Sounds like a great trip!

Sounds like Ashleigh is doing better. She's a lucky lady to have you come out to take care of her and especially for the visit. My husband is in San Jose right now with his son, helping him to move into his new condo - that needs a lot of work on before moving in. Also how neat that you met up with your blogging buddy and love the pictures of Tiger!! How he has grown!! Safe travels heading back this way!!
The cuteness of Tiger just melts my heart!
It's kind of nice to be able to be a "real" mother again,isn't it? Sure you wish your "baby" wasn't in pain, but still....!
It is Always delightful to meet blog friend in real life! Hope you enjoyed your time with your daughter and are enjoying your weekend in Denver! Tiger is adorable! Blessings, Cindy
Oh your poor daughter! I hope she's doing better. My husband had his out about 5 years ago but didn't have any problems.
Sounds like you had fun minus the whole teeth thing. I can;t believe Tiger is going to preschool already. How exciting!
Thanks for visiting 15andmeowing,I thought I would check out your blog. Very nice and I love your cat-adorable.
How fun to meet up with another blogger. I know you both loved it.
Tiger is so adorable. He really is a good looking little fella.
Did I ever tell you that my girl's name is Stacy LEIGH and her girl's name is ASHLEIGH...:)
I am so glad you are having so many adventures! I redid my blog a few weeks ago and now I have none of my blogs that I follow on it. I just know your blog's name so I was able to goggle it. Oh well, I never have been a great technology person! This weekend was the world's longest yard sale and I remember all the fun we had last year! I did not participate but I did shop a little! We had the best month ever in the booth during July. I just love having a booth and Jeff and I shop for it every weekend! We have found some great flea markets so when you are up my way, we will go!
I'm so glad that you are having such a great time on your well deserved vacation!
Hi Linda,
Sounds like you are having a wonderful time.How cool and fun to meet a fellow blogger, and you get to do it twice. Have a good weekend!

So nice you got to meet Betsy from Mt Salvaged Treasures I always read her blog also.
I just love meeting bloggers
Hi Linda! Wow in a blink of an eye that little Tiger grew up. What a cutie pie. Glad your daughter did well with the dental stuff. I just had to take my youngest in to get his baby tooth pulled. He is 13 now and it was the only one left and no sign of being loose. Nice you got to meet some blogging peeps too. Cheers!
Hi Linda! I just met a couple of blogger friends as well. It's always so wonderful to meet people, finally, that you have known online for years. It sounds like you had a wonderful three hours of chat!
I am thinking that Cali meant California?
Sounded like a lovely visit!
Mona :)
Oh my! They are all getting so big!
I'm glad your daughters wisdom teeth went well!
Seeing all those glorious plants and flowers would sure distract you from worry!
Just catching up on your posts. SO many cute things, and you've been very busy! But I believe Tiger is the cutest thing of all! Him in his little boots...doesn't get much cuter!
Erica :)
