The rest of the pictures we took on my camera during our visit..
I could NOT have been in better, sweeter, kinder company then that of these two wonderful blogger friends.
(How I LOVE my home state, California!)
This photo is of one of the orange trees in the shopping area of the Mission Inn in Riverside. This is just a few miles from my home and was my favorite stomping ground to shop for goodies. Now I tend to hit the garage sales..or tag sales, as they call them on the East coast. The prices are ..a wee bit better..
Marydon was pointing up to a sign that announced that this particular Cupcake shop was the winner of the Cupcake Wars TV show..and there was a big banner announcing it. She was pointing to it.
Ohhh...I hate to stand next to skinny mini's ...Ah hates it ah do!!
GOOD grief but I'm short! Look how pretty and tall AND slender they are. (NOT to mention the fact that they are blonds!!! :) *sigh*
See, I told you they made me smile..
These two are SO DARNED CUTE!
Y'all come back..ya hear??!! :)
Hugs,
Mona
