Some Assembly Required...

We're one step closer to our fence! Today we had the materials delivered to the house...here they are after Derek and I put them into a neat pile....maybe the fence elves will come build it? I suppose not, I guess we'll wait for the fence guy to install in the next few weeks.

Over The Rhine -- LIVE!

As a birthday gift for Michelyn's folks, we took them out to a band that we've come to love, "Over the Rhine" -- Live, at the Coach House in San Clemente. It was a real treat and a wonderful night of live music...

The pictures are a little dark, but give an idea of the 'ambiance'. This was the opening act, "Halle," who we really enjoyed. There was a neat sound from the violin...

Here they are...OTR!!! Woo hoo!

Honorary Skyhawk

Thanks to my hubby.....Mrs. Devine is now an honorary member of the Sunnydale Skyhawks!!

Labor Day Weekend '07

Well, Derek & I made a giant circle of the southland. From Tehachapi to Lancaster to Big Bear to Lake Elsinore and back again...we had a great time with family.

New Drip System

Grow little flowers, grow! Michelyn decided to work on her long awaited project...a new drip system for the plants. Everything looks good so far and the timer is working...so my plants should be really happy now!

Tehachapi Mountain Festival

Today we attended our first Tehachapi Mountain Festival. Apparently it's a big thing for our area and something they have annually. It was a lot of fun! Here we are at the Arts & Crafts Fair and Car Show.....(Shasta and Monkey want to be in the Pet Parade next year).

Fish Fest 2007

For some summer fun, Derek and I went to Fish Fest 2007 - a day of Christian rock artists in concert, live at the Irvine amphitheater. We had some lawn seats, so you can't see us in the picture below (we would be way left)....but it was really a lot of fun!

One of Michelyn's favorite groups, Mercy Me.

Also playing were, Aaron Shust, Chris Tomlin, Kutless, and Third Day.

Big Bear Get-a-Way

Derek and I ventured with the pups off to a weekend get-a-way at Big Bear.

The dogs LOVE the lake!

Look...they found a "treasure"
