We had my parents over for dinner on Mother’s Day.  I made a Greek feast and we got a chance to dine outside because the weather was perfect.

I love these plants. Especially when it’s breezy. They’re so prety and fuzzy.

This week I went to Camp Covert at Covert Estate in Coombsville, Napa with a few other bloggers.

The day included harvesting vegetables, tasting wine, cooking together outdoors and feasting!

What a way to spend a Tuesday!!

    The original Joshua Tree tour concert was my first concert sans parents (I was allowed to go with my older sister and we each took a friend)! Seeing that you took Cooper made me smile and feel so nostalgic. What an awesome experience!

  • Kim

    Ummmmm….intentions for your week “work on book” PLEASE tell us you’re writing a book!!!
    Also, wish our boys’ sports bbqs were as fun as yours haha

  • libby

    My nephew just went to his first concert last week, too. He got to go see Chance the Trapper on the Coloring Book tour! I’m so jealous of him. And Cooper, too! What great firsts!
    My first concert was Clint Black’s cousin who came to my home town and drunkenly sang country music covers and eventually just sat down on the stage. It was… something special.

  • Shawna

    oh, now I wish I had gone to the U2 concert. I saw them when I was 14 in 1985 on the Unforgettable Fire tour. That was back in the day when parents would just drop off their teenagers (and sometimes preteens) outside the venue and pick them up after the show. I can NOT imagine doing that nowadays. I saw so many shows like that – Police on the Synchronicity tour, Adam Ant, Tears for Fears, Depeche Mode and on and on. Now I feel old. LOL

    • Tracy

      Faith No More was my first concert. Billy Idol opened up for them. My mom brought all of us kids (my brothers really wanted to go).

  • Nna

    I’ve moved all of my blog email subscriptions​ to a blog reader – apart from yours! I love your updates landing into my inbox. Your pictures fill me with such joy and I love the peek into your life. So I just wanted to thank you for sharing. x

  • Jean

    What an awesome week! Covert Camp looks like a great place. So cool that Cooper got to see U2 for his first concert. That will be a rock solid memory for him (and you and Casey) and will set the bar for shows to follow. I remember how I felt when we took our 12 year old son to see Tom Petty for his first concert. He still comes with us to lots of shows now and he’s 26. He definitely got the rock ‘n roll genes. Between Lila and tequila shots you’ve got baseball covered this season! Right, and that little tease about working on the book…anything you can share about that?

  • Scarlett

    If this is a taste of the summer to come it looks like you’re in for a good one! 🙂
