A little more from my quick trip to San Francisco.  Me and the Golden Gate Bridge.  What you don't see is what happened just before this picture.  I saw people standing up on a ledge for a better photo opt. So I decided I would do it also.  Not a good plan...I was the one who fell!! Hubby got a good laugh out of it.  So a little excitement before we walked across the bridge and almost got ran over by bikers.  It was all good though. Loved the experience!!

After another power outage last week, I am crossing my fingers that will be the last for the season. It puts a big damper in my cooking and blogging habit! Now on to this week..

This Week's Menu
Monday: Burritos
Tuesday: Chicken Puff Pastry Pockets
Wednesday:Lasagna Soup

Well Cross Country season is now officially over.  It is my son's senior year so the last race was a bit sentimental for me.  He had a great season and we finally discovered that he has a mitrochondrial disorder, which makes his passion for running a bit harder.  Even with this issue he was able to take 3rd place in Districts and 8th place at State.  It was incredible and I am so proud of him.  Now on to my daughter's basketball season....

Monday:Cashew Chicken
