Other view of the suite at Monte Bleu.

How I spent my birthday at Lake Tahoe. Suite at the Monte Bleu that cost $60/per night!

Last week, 4 we admitted newly hatched chicks. Smallest I've ever seen, probably just hatched that morning. Unfortunately, they were not there when I came back to Sulphur Creek this Saturday.

My desk after burglars broke into the office. Hubby says it doesn't look much different than normal. Grrrr..

Front office, small change all over the floor

Someone kicked in the door and broke into our office in Livermore, CA. Went through all our desks, threw stuff all over the place, but fortunately didn't do any vandalism. Took about $150-200 in petty cash. It could have been worse.

Taken just a few minutes ago. I love this place.
