Erin Works for Warner Bros.

Well, since I was posting about Eric's new store, I thought I would also post about Erin's work.  She is currently employed with Warner Bros. Studios.  It was her dream to work for Warner Bros.  She has had an exciting time and I love hearing about all the celebrities that she meets.  She has worked on the Conan show and the Ellen show.  She has met many producers, directors, and stars and recently was in a shot on the Ellen show with Heidi Klum.  

Erin said you have to start at the bottom and work your way up in this industry.  I know that she will get her break and a production assistant position will open up for her.  In time, she will have her opportunity to be a producer.  It takes time.  Congratulations Erin!  We are very proud of you.

FIVE GUYS IS OPEN!!!

I am so excited for Eric.  He is the manager of the new Five Guys located in Spokane Valley.  This is the second Five Guys located in Eastern Washington.  He opened the first Five Guys location and now is the manager of this location.  I am very excited to see this new style of Five Guys to compare with the others I have been in.  

Larry and I are taking a trip to Washington this coming weekend for Eric's first weekend opening.  It should be very exciting.  I know we will not be able to spend much time with Eric since he will be at the store the majority of the time, but it will still be exciting.

Way to go Eric!!!  We are very proud of you. 

Erin and Karl Graduate From College

It has been almost a year since Erin and Karl graduated from Academy of Art University. What an exciting time. The day was beautiful and dinner afterwards with family was a lot of fun. After dinner, we all went back to Erin and Karl's apartment to finish up the packing so they could begin their next adventure in North Hollywood, CA. The move took place the very next day. Driving from Alameda, CA to North Hollywood, CA.



GOOD LUCK ERIN AND KARL ON YOUR NEW ADVENTURES!!!

Cookies, Cookies, and More Cookies!!

What a crazy time Larry and I had during the month of February and March 2011. Larry is the Service Unit Cookie Manager for 4 different Girl Scout service units in Eastern Idaho. That meant that when all the cookies were ready to be delivered, the semi truck would be delivering the cookies to our house! It was an adventure. Larry had it all planned out for the layout of the cookies. When the semi arrived, they said the truck held half of the order. They would need to go get another semi half full for the rest. We ended up with over 5,500 cases of cookies. Each case has 12 boxes of cookies, so you do the math! That is over 60,000 boxes of cookies sitting in our garage. It was crazy. Thankfully all the cookies were picked up in a day so we had our garage back. We could never have distributed all those cookies if it hadn't been for our friends, Michael and Marcia Yates. They were wonderful! Although they may never agree to help out again. It was a very long day. For the month of March, the girls were all selling cookies through booth sales so, of course, we housed the cookies for the Cookie Cupboard. Cookies are now finished for the year. I don't think we want to see another box of cookies ... well, maybe some Thin Mints would be nice.

Fun in Idaho

I thought I would write about some of the things Larry and I are fortunate enough to do up here in Idaho. Before we moved here, we both spent many long hours on the freeway commuting back and forth to work. Life pretty much was work, home, sleep, repeat. Weekends were time to catch up on housework and things like that. Up here, we have the opportunity to take off and go somewhere on the weekends. Wherever you go, you will see something new and fantastic. My favorite thing to do is photograph old barns or pretty much anything to do with the outdoors. This weekend we drove to Pocatello, enjoyed one of the home and garden shows at the Holt Arena (Idaho State University) and I took pictures (on my phone) of old barns along the I-15. We still had plenty of time to watch a movie, finish up some painting, watch the golf game, and just do absolutely nothing, if we choose. Definitely the easy life!!
