Hello World! Welcome Friends! Well we are back from our California Traveling Adventure. It started in San Francisco then Saratoga Springs for a wedding Greg officiated. After the wedding, we headed to Reno to drop Greg’s dad off at his house and then we headed to South Lake Tahoe to show Chloe where Greg and I got engaged. After Tahoe we drove through Yosemite down towards Bass Lake. If you have never been to Yosemite, be sure if you are ever in CA to have a look. It is truly breath taking. After a short stay we headed down to Disneyland and California Adventure. If you missed any of our travels, pop on over to my Instagram to have a look. It was really wonderful to see Greg’s dad, brother and uncle as well as having time to explore areas I never got to when I lived in the East Bay of San Francisco. We are happy to be home even though the cats are giving us total attitude! LOL!
Now it’s time to show off your pretty!

Kathryn, I can only imagine how hot it is in Texas when we’re having 96° today in WV! With humidity at just (just!) 45%, it only feels like 102°! I know you’re busy with just getting back from vacation. Catching up with all the home chores sometimes makes the rear view of vacation seem too far in the distant past. I hope you can relish the memories!
Thank you for hosting, and thank you once again for the Sunday Showcase feature (here and there!).

Hi!
I tried to add your button to my blog– but it is not working at all…..I even tried to make the code match a different button’s code…. any ideas?
Thanks,
