Mom's weekend to Palm Springs

Poker winner, look at all those chips. Please let me have my moment, it will probably be my first and last. Many straights and salty treats (notice my fingers in the bowl) later, I won! This wasn't even the extent of all the shopping bags. It was a delicate art to get everything back to Long beach.
Shopping for a few treats at the local Vons.

All of us to dinner:PF Chang's - so fun to eat family style. Ladies present (from L to R): Laura, Lisa, Staci, Jenny, Holly, Kim, and Edie.


No kids, no husbands (except via phone) and all the sunshine your skin can soak in. What a glorious time to shop, eat, laugh, exercise (tennis, walking, jogging) and share in life's precious moments. Of course, I can't share too much information because it is too personal. Ed, my step-dad, owns a place in Palm Springs that provides a nice nesting spot for us to stay a few days. Some of the highlights were "sharing" meals, tennis, jacuzzi time under the stars, Target shopping all 3 days (Can you say "Clearance"?), makeovers, games (I wear my own imaginary Poker crown until next time). We are all moms of wonderful children at all different stages of life-what a blessing to have one another. This was our 3rd annual, so to all those moms out there that couldn't make it this year, get ready for next year.

I could just barely get myself to read about all the fun! I'm so sad that I missed it! Hopefully next year I'll be able to join in! I'm glad that you guys had a good time!
