A Mickey Mouse Day...Nice, Really Nice..

This is but another glimps into our life here in La Quinta. My husbandTony is a collector of Mickey Mouse Everything. One of our guest rooms has Mickey Mouse from top to bottom and even on the bed. If you come over here feeling bummed, I guaranty that after about 5 minutes in this room, and listening to the music boxes you will come away with a different point of view. We did some shopping today. Went to Trader Joes and got a few things. Love thier potatoe salad and salt free chips. Also they have great vegetables and fresh fruit, and I love their floral bouquets. Their fresh food is pure, no additives. I like that. Eggs are only 99cents a doz.
I love their fish especially their cod and salmon. It's not real hot today, only about 102 deg. but a nice wind. We love the desert. Our neighbor just got back from San Francisco, he and his wife ran a marathon there. They enjoyed a break from the heat, but hell, they've lived here for 20 years. We just moved in. Saw the movie Ant Bully in Imax/3D it was darling, love those ants. It was also awsome in Imax and 3 d. Ate dinner at Marie Calandars. Love their salad bar and corn bread. Yum Yum.

Another Gorgeous Day

Our back yard, ain't it purty?
Gosh it seems like forever since I last Blogged. So, what do you think of Mel Gibson's Faux Pas? I can't help but feel sorry for him as I am a recovered alcholic myself. Been clean and sober now for over 25 years. It's not easy either. It's a tough road and the liquor ... monkey is hard to get off your back. I guess some people have an easier time of it but I find that hard to believe. I hope he gets some help. What a huge disappointement that must be to his family and friends. Not to mention how he must feel. I thank God that I am free from it. But it is still a never ending battle with temptation.
