DAY AT THE LAKE
Yesterday and today Mimi and mama went with their new neighbor friend Blake and his mom Keri and little sister Bailey exploring Lake Meridian and Lake Wilderness. Both places are very nice and kid friendly. We all liked Lake Wilderness the best because it is the closest(5 minutes from home) and a bigger park. The kids are able to go swimming in the lake where it is roped off. Of course mama forgot to bring the digital camera so therefore there are NO PICTURES!!! What a bummer!!! However she did manage to take pictures with the disposable camera. Yesterday and today, the weather has been gorgeous. It is great swimming weather. Tomorrow is supposed to rain off and on. So therefore it will be grocery shopping day.

Trip to LA
Last week papa called home to say that he will be going to LA for a business trip. Mama and Mimi decided to tag along. The trip was only for two days and one night, so unfortunately we were not able to see all of our friends. We are really going to try our best to make it to Allyn's wing ding at Disneyland come this October.
The trip started off with us leaving home at 5:00 in the morning on Wednesday. After arriving in LA and dropping papa off at the Children's Hospital job site, mama and Mimi went to see mama's friends at UCLA and Mimi's friends at Pacifica.
We then went to the New Otani Hotel and had a nice visit with Uncle Jim (mama's brother). Later in the evening friend Maggie came for a visit and dinner. Unfortunately mama forgot to bring the camera so there's no pictures. The food was not too bad. By 8:00 pm the Putney's were konked out for the night.
Thursday morning, papa went to work and mama's friend Sandra came to visit. We all then had lunch with papa at Roscoe's in Hollywood. Mama had her favorite fried chicken and waffles with gravy. It sounds disgusting but it actually so goood tasting. Roscoe's has quite a few of good southern cooking. We then went to Mitsuwa market near our old home and Mimi was hungry again. So she ate a bowl of ramen. It's amazing how much this child can pack away. We were able to have a short visit with a couple more friends. Everytime we go there, we always meet people that we know. Then on to Maggie's home for dinner.
By the time we got to LAX at 7:30pm, we were informed that our flight was cancelled due to mechanical error. Ah man!!!
We had been switched from United to Alaska airlines. When we got our tickets, the flight was for 9:54pm and we all had different seating assignments. AH MAN AGAIN!!! Fortunate for us people were nice enough to switch seats with us. I guess they did not want to sit next to a four year old. Mimi slept the whole trip home. When we arrived at Sea-Tac airport, boy was Mimi grumpy when I had to wake her up. She absolutely did not want to get off the plane. She dug her heels in and yelled NO! IAM NOT GOING!!! Mama finally had to carry her off along with our carry on bag. By the time we got home and into bed, it was 2:30 AM Thursday morning.
We are still recovering. Dottie

Stay At Home Mom
More and more it looks like mama is going to be a stay at home mom. She did not get the job at Junior Junction. Whooooppppppeeeeee!!!!!! Mama absolutely loves staying at home and taking care of "my" ahem "our "house and family. Mama is becoming quite the "Martha Stewart".
To help cut down on expenses, Mimi will only be going to school for half day as opposed to full day. That is just fine with us. School is only half day, the rest of the time is daycare and she can play at home for free. Plus there are a million kids in the neighborhood that she plays with. One in particular. Her name is Erin and she is also 4 years old. Erin lives right next door to the neighborhood park and Mimi always check to see if Erin is at home when we go.
