My pending mid-life crisis (scheduled for Sept 14th).It’s all here and it’ all good!
I’m keeping the menu simple and family is helping but I am making smoking hot pom-martinis that will be ice cold and literally smoking from dry ice and
the Best Burgers.

Lanterns must be hung and chocolate cake must be made.But on tonight’s agenda we are tailgating before the Angels game as they go up against Oakland.
One thing I love about the Angels, Disney bought them years back and revamped the stadium with waterfalls and big rocks and the ushers are dressed in old-fashioned uniforms with straw hats. At the 7th inning stretch, they go down on the field and everyone sings.
You can see the Big A sign for miles off the 57 freeway.
The halo sparkles when the Angels win.
I love driving home from somewhere and looking to see if it is lit up or not.
Just a little tradition in the OC. 🙂
Have a great weekend!

wow… not only is this a very busy weekend… but an emotional one too!! First and last years of college are a big deal! Hope it goes well 🙂
How fun!! You are a busy bee! Have a great weekend!! xoxo
I’ve had trouble loading your blog all summer. I miss you! It worked easily this time must be my ancient computer.
Waterfalls? Sparkles? The Angels are a team I can get on board with!
You have a lot to celebrate! I fully understand all of the emotions. I just took daughter #2 to college last week. I didn’t have my meltdown until the next day. (Go Me!) Loved your letter to son2.
I’d love to see that stadium now that it is all done up Disney Style. Sounds like fun!
have a great weekend, it sounds fantastic!
Have a wonderful time and thanks for the recipes. They sound delish!
Have a wonderful time sounds like a blast!
Hi! Wow, this sounds like an amazing weekend! I hope all went well for you. The burgers sound great, but the pom-martinis sound even better! Would love to have one with you. Maybe one day when we are old spinsters, we can share one!
I hope your sons have a great year, remind them that this is the time of they’re lives.
Have a great week, and I want to hear all about your weekend!
XOXO

I smell a burger in my immediate future! Your recipe looks divine! Will make it this weekend!
