Well, thanks to MeMe of Taste Catering, we had $1000.00 to spend between four people at Cyrus Restaurant in Healdsburg. We spent $1200.00. The experience was amazing. The following day was spent wine tasting and basking in the sun.

Pop's "TOP TEN"

If you didn't know, Jill spent last week with the golfer, Lee Trevino. It was a TV ad for a product Lee used to correct his back problem. Jill represents the product. The shoot took place in Palm Desert at the very beautiful Desert Willows CC.

Pop's gives us a few things overheard during the shoot.

  • 10. "BE HONEST.....HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A BETTER GOLF SWING?"
  • 9. "WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE MY INCISION?"
  • 8. "CORN OR FLOUR?"
  • 7. "TELL ME AGAIN. WHAT'S THIS AD FOR?"
  • 6. "WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION WE GOT TWO BREAKS?"
  • 5. "DID YOU KNOW THAT IF I HOLD A 5-IRON AT THE RIGHT ANGLE, I CAN LOCATE WATER?'
  • 4. "HOW DO YOU SPELL MICHAEL?"
  • 3. "AM I GOING TO BE ON COPS?"
  • 2. "AIN'T HOT DOGS TASTY?'
  • 1. "I THINK I'VE FINALLY HIT ROCK-BOTTOM"

Fun times in San Felipe





The six hour drive to San Felipe was well worth the trip. The kids had lots of fun exploring and playing in the sand. Carson loved the water. Owen played a little golf. And Regan found sand dollars and a "mexican ladybug" that spoke spanish.

"New" Car

All I can say is God is good :) this wonderful car was just dropped in my lap--such an amazing blessing! It's a '97 Ford Explorer and the color is pretty fun--easy to spot out of all the black, white, and silver cars! My mom and I took it down to get it registered and everything the other day and I must say it was fun to drive and I'm so very happy to not be driving the suburban anymore. I think it's pretty self explanitory why!

Walk For Cystic Fibrosis

Hi Everyone, I just wanted thank all of you that have donated for my walk. It is a cause that is very near and dear to my heart. Below is a video from youtube.com that I found. It is just one story of many that has touched me. I hope it does for you too. The little redhaired girl in the video was one of my favorite CF patients of all time. I've taken care of her for the past 10 years whenever she came into the hospital. Her name is Vanessa. She passed away on Halloween last year and I'm walking for her this year. She, and all the other kids I've cared for, is the reason I'm taking a stand against this horrible disease.http://www.youtube.com/user/designersforlifeThank you again for your support. It is with the help of my wonderful family and friends that we can make a difference and one day CF will stand for Cure Found.Here is the link to the Great Strides Walk page if you're interested.http://www.cff.org/Great_Strides/ErinSchmidtLove,Erin
