KEEPING IT REAL - Calinia is going to FIDM!!!!

Calinia is IN!!! She had her final interview with the Director, it went well. It was a very busy week, she had to do 3 projects and 2 essays and needed 3 references. Bravo, Calinia you did it. You went over and beyond what was asked of you. The Director noticed this. Now we have to line up the financing. Yeah !!!!!!!

KEEPING IT REAL - What's this show call Wipe Out?

Have you seen this show? It is on Tuesday Night's at 8:00 pm. If you want a good hour of laughter you need to watch it! Where do they get the people? It is scary to think that people purposely make themselves look so foolish for millions of viewers to see. I guess that $50,000.00 can make people do crazy things. You should also see the show " I survived a Japanese game show", it is as funny with a different twist. With all the laughter I do on Tuesday night, I am set for the week.

July is almost over, and August is soon approaching. The weather is as usual hot and beautiful.

KEEPING IT REAL- 3 Days at FIDM & San Diego & 4th of July

Our day started early as we checked in Calinia for this 3 day event. It was hard leaving her there, we were glad she met a couple of girls during this whole event. Calinia was there from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. During the whole day I found myself thinking about what she was doing, learning and enjoying. They taught her how to do alot of different things such as drawing and draping, a little bit of Interior Design drafting.
It was kind of a two fold I was missing her yet it was nice not to hear any complaining while Peter and I enjoyed our first day in San Diego.

Peter and I walked 2 days sightseeing all of San Diego from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm and picked up Calinia and we walked more in the evenings and at the end of the day we were so exhausted. By the third day we ended up at Coronado Bay at the Village Pizzaria for lunch and just sat enjoying the view.

The nice part of this all is that Peter and I enjoyed ourselves and each other, Calinia realized something about her future, and she gave us her heartfelt thanks for making this possible. I thank GOD for this part, for we know that HE will provide for college as well.

As for the 4th of July it was great. We had most of the family there, Villa and Mike showed up with Mike's mom Judy. It was great to see them, and to see that Mike looked good. We had alot of food and plenty of dessert and the fireworks were wonderful to see. All we have to do is put our lawn chairs out front and they have them shooting up from the park down the street. It seems like we have front row seats. We also have fun watching people try to park because they come late, they think that they can find parking during the fireworks ( how does that work?)

It was a packed week and a busy weekend but it was fun!
