Grandma Carole & Taylor

The diploma

Back to the house for cake and ice cream.
Then Taylor was off to celebrate with
some of his friends.

Graduation Party

Goat cheese spread and bread sticks

to start the party.

Erin, me & Cathy

The patio is ready, with fun banners

that I made to make it festive.

Cold drinks - check.

On the menu:

Two kinds of baked Ziti

Tomato Mozzarella salad

and crusty bread.

Dessert later was cream puffs
with fresh raspberries - yum!

Cathy, Megan, Scott, and Erin.

Brian & Heidi put together a fun Poturalski

family Jeopardy game for us all to play.

Very creative and fun

with categories and everything.

Later, we had a guitar jam session by the pool.

Everyone was amazed by Chloe's amazing

singing and newly acquired guitar talents.

She rocked it!

It was a great evening!

Good Food,

Graduation day

Last day of school for the kiddos
and Taylor is graduating!
I can hardly believe it... where
does the time go. I am so proud
of him (we have certainly had our
challenges this year...) but I sure
am proud of the fine young man he
has become. Last night we had a
little pre-graduation party with
all the Poturalski clan - needless
to say, my head is feeling a little
sloshy today. It was a fun evening.
Pictures to come after the fog
clears away....
Graduation ceremony and more
celebrating tonight.

Huevos Rancheros

Yummy sunday breakfast.
Got the recipe here - super easy
and really tasty.
(I added a little green chili salsa
under the cheese, mmmmm.)

Mom's day highlights

Mother's Day breakfast - chocolate croissant
and coffee. Perfectly delicious.

Setting the table for lunch with Mom

Menu:
Grilled salmon with herbs,
pea salad, fresh fruit
and the mango and avocado salad, (again...)
sooo good!

Raspberry tart with vanilla ice cream
for dessert.
(tart and choc. croissant both from Trader Joe's)

Later I took a nap on the couch.
Oh yeah - it was a good day!

Mother's Day

(card from Logan)

Hope your Mother's Day is filled

with handmade gifts, and

heart felt expressions

of love from your family!

FYI - BMF (best mother forever,
said Logan...
my heart has just melted...)

Happy Mother's Day!

Dinner last night

I made a delicious salad for dinner last night.
Herb spring mix with fresh avocado and mango,
drizzled with a white balsamic vinaigrette.

Served with grilled steaks, garlic and
herb fingerling potatoes.
Yum!

Marketplace

The new marketplace has opened up at
Arcadia Farms.
It's filled with delicious baked goods,
gourmet coffee and espresso,
to go salads and sandwiches,
and gourmet kitchen goods.

It turned out so cute - Caroline has done
a wonderful job in putting it all together.

Come and enjoy!
