Gone to the Beach

DH came home from a business trip this morning and we snuck out of town a little after 6pm. Traffic wasn’t too bad except for the border patrol check point in San Onofre which began moving promptly again at precisely 7:30 pm. Illegal immigrants must abide by the holiday schedule as well, you see.

So we’re all settled in and looking forward to a couple of carefree days. Have a great weekend!

The TeePee Cake

I figured since I talked about it so much, I better share it. The cake was baked as part of my son’s annual Blue & Gold dinner for Cub Scouts. Each year a different theme is chosen for the cake decorations. We’ve done sports & games (a 3-d chess piece), space (a 3-d Vader’s Tie…

Into The Woods

ByKristen Koster

Last night, we took the kids to see “Into the Woods” at the Starlight Theatre here in Balboa Park. We’ve been there several times and I’d never realized there was an outdoor ampitheatre there. Apparently, the theatre has been a San Diego tradition for over 40 years. The seats are darned uncomfortable, but that’s expected….

Jackie Barbosa, Historical & Contemporary Author

It has been said that the romance community is the most supportive and generous of all the genre communities and I have seen the evidence many times over in different situations. Last week one of our beloved authors, Jackie Barbosa, lost her seventeen-year-old son in a car accident. Although most of us will never be…

Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s time once again for hearts, chocolates, diamonds (no dear, that’s not a hint) and of course free reads from the Romance Divas, who have just wrapped up their third annual e-book challenge where the members are encouraged to write a story and put it up for free. THE DIVAS E-BOOK CHALLENGE…

Slow Return to Normalcy

ByKristen Koster

We just received news that 20 staff and over 340 students in the Poway school district have lost their homes. Staggering news. In order to get the community back into normal routines, they have canceled the half week off school next week for Parent/Teacher conferences. Guess it’s a good thing we hadn’t planned a trip…

Just For Andi…

ByKristen Koster

  When is one-third, not one-third? Say you have a math homework problem and you’re eleven years old and you HATE fractions with a burning passion. You ask your mom across the room, “What does ONE DIVIDED BY THREE equal?” You get extremely upset with her when she offhandedly (and quite innocently) replies ONE-THIRD. You…

  1. Border checkpoint? Then I’m guessing you went to Mexico? Hope it was a great long weekend. 🙂

    1. Actually, we went north to Huntington Beach, Ca. And yes, 68 miles north of the US/Mexican border, they have a weigh station where the border patrol agents do a look-see into all northbound vehicles on the I-5 interstate. I guess they figure they get a second chance once people relax an hour past the border on their way up to LA.

      It just cracks me up that at precisely 7:30 Friday night, they were off the clock and traffic suddenly started moving again.
