Your pictures a...What a fabulous vacation you had. Your pictures are amazing. I have been told that the scenery on the west coast is just incredible. My husband drove PCH a few years back and was amazed at the gorgeous scenery on one side and the houses hugging the mountains on the other.<BR/><BR/>It was so fun to see a picture of you. We could be sisters I believe. Dark hair (well, mine is a bit peppered at this point - I'll be the older sister ok?) and of course your obvious preference for chocolate! That cake is amazing! I guess we better not be sisters though. We'd be confused what with having the same name and all. <BR/><BR/>I am so glad you had a wonderful time. So worth the effort and money to get out. And Happy Birthday by the way.<BR/><BR/>I will be glad to tell you what we use for mosquitoes. We use a 'Cutter Bug Free Backyard' spray. It is one of those that you attach to the hose and just use it to 'water' everything. <BR/><BR/>We pull all the plants off the porches and put them on the lawn, wash them down, then spray them well with the Cutters. <BR/><BR/>Then I sweep off the porches and justhose them down with water to get rid of any incubating skeeters. <BR/><BR/>Then we use that Cutter spray to spray the lawn, the woods, the gardens, everything all around the yard. <BR/><BR/>It says it lasts 4 weeks and I am not sure it is really THAT good, but I know it is a good while before we have to do it again. We only use it during the worst of the season, so it may be that it really does last a month. <BR/><BR/>I hope you can find it at your local W-mart and that it will work for you. We Floridians have to stick together.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09140530325649071135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963106206946364171.post-62067862786199129762007-09-20T14:04:00.000-04:002007-09-20T14:04:00.000-04:00Ahhh, these were so fun to view and read about.

We hope to see Alcatraz, Santa Cruz and the boardwalk, the 17 mile drive at Pebble Beach including the lone Cypress, Muir woods, the Golden Gate bridge, Golden Gate park, China Town, Lombard Street, a trolly ride, Half Moon Bay and of course where I lived when I worked there years ago. And um, we hoped to do all that in three days (dream big, Toni).<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>~Toni~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
