Had a great Memorial Day Weekend. DD turned 11 on Saturday. We went to a local restaurant of her choosing (Hawaiian-Japanese casual cuisine) and saw Star Trek at a small theatre nearby ($5 each). DD got a digital camera as per her wishlist. We will have a small birthday party at our home next month - her birthday is not on the best weekend for a party. On Memorial Day, we had steaks from the freezer (bought on sale); fresh french bread (free with coupon); carrots; olives; baked beans; and salad. For dessert I made a peach upside down cake with peaches from FIL's peach tree. Yum! FIL is drowning with peaches - they are small ones that don't last once they are picked from the tree. I have been busy flash freezing them for later use.

Also trying to get ready for our trip to Texas this weekend (and yes, DH wants to drive!). Seems Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas will all be about 90 degrees. No surprise, but I know I will have a jolt in Texas with the humidity. Southern California is pleasantly dry! Hope to visit a bit in Texas - any ideas near Austin? The Citywalk in San Antonio has been mentioned. The Gulf does not look too far on the map - maybe there as well. No plans for Houston though. FIL has a ranch that we want to visit out in the country.

Have a great evening!
