Quack, Quack, Quack, Mr. Ducksworth

You can't help but quote Emilio Estevez when watching a Ducks game. Last Monday, April 28th, our friends, Wendy and Jason, took us to see Game 3 of the Sharks v. Ducks game. I have only seen a couple of hockey games, and play off games are by far the best. Every seat was filled, and people are excited. The great thing about the Honda Center is that is was built for hockey and doesn't have a bad seat in the house. We were in the second to last row, but saw everything perfectly.

Check out the short video after the Ducks won!

Thanks Carvers!

Cottage Cute

My friend Bethany turned me on to The Lettered Cottage a little while ago. Layla is a designer with a cute cottage in Alabama. She has wonderful budget friendly decorating ideas.


Today she is showing off the work of Grace of Coastline. Grace has beautiful things for sale online. Just check out this burlap runner;

I'm always on the look out for fun new things to expand my decorative style.

Stagecoach

Last weekend (April 25 and 26) Kevin and I headed out to the desert (Indio) with two other couples for two days packed with country music; otherwise know as Stagecoach. I have to admit I was a little uncomfortable, I don't do well with extreme temperatures. It got up to 90 degrees during the day and dropped to 60 when the sun set. I'm a little bit of a baby, though. But the music was great. Darius Rucker was probably my favorite on Saturday. I really enjoyed his country music, and he brought back some Hootie music, too. But on Sunday, the best show had to have been Kid Rock. Explicit lyrics aside, he put on an awesome show. He played multiple instruments and sounds just as good live as he does recorded. Brad Paisley out on a great show playing great videos behind his performance. It really was cool! Unfortunately, we didn't get to see Kenny Chesney on Sunday night. We had to head back to Riverside and couldn't wait to stay through the 9:30 performance.

More 66ers

Jen just sent me some more pictures of Rachel, Brendan, and me from Kevin's birthday at the 66ers game.

In case you can't tell the difference, I am in the short sleeves with the necklace and Rachel is in the tank top. I was shocked myself at how much more we look like each year.

Days With My Father

My friend Sherry posted this from her blog yesterday and I loved it so much I wanted to share it with you. As Sherry said, "It's a fabulous photo essay about a son's love for his aging father."
