One in Every Color- M&M's and Mustangs

Val and I had a snack while Jay was at the Pre BBQ mixer.


And Cal Poly has sheep! And the sheep had babies! But sheep are still dumb and scardie pants so I still want alpaca.


Now I have boots so the transition to alpaca farming should be as smooth as a lake in a calm day. Ha.


Val says I'm a poser.
Major disappointment of the day: finding out the "Farm Shop" isn't a store shop with products from the farm it's a farm shop for tractors as in like an Auto Shop. Sigh no cheese, ice-cream and veggies for me.
Here's Val outside the farm shop.


Ok maybe we are posers.
Jay with his other Wine and Viticulture majors:


We got an awesome personal tour from Will! We were stragglers to the housing display on campus and sort missed the boat, but Will answered all our questions AND took us to various buildings AND accompanied us through on our tours and explained some things we didn't all hear from the back!


Shout out to Will! Now you're famous! Thanks for an awesome tour!
At one point in the day John got a megaphone. Several times he contemplated throwing it away but then he'd think, nah I got this far.... The megaphone (and John) survived the day, we'll need a follow up blog to see what happens to it.


The dilemma, which one of us was going to be the "token student" when Jay was off with his new friends!


They had a flower display/ competition in the library, here are some of my favorites:








We started Beth's Bachelorette Beach Weekend in Cayucos, but the dancing opportunity was primarily reggae and we weren't so much feelin' it. So we went back to San Luis Obispo. While we were there we soooo accidentally walked by the bubblegum wall. We had all wondered where it was and when we realized we were standing right next to it, the exclamations were probably hears for a block. I had pink bubblegum so we left a tribute to Beth and Alex. We all chewed a piece.

One in Every Color- I'm Gonna Let it Shine

Ok these little lights or candles aren't actually mine but I saw them... And took a picture...So they'd have a chance to shine in the spotlight!


They're at Cost Plus World Market. They come in a tea light and votive set. I think I'd get both sets when I become a grown up and have a real live living room to decorate. I'd put them in my grayscale living room that I intend to spice up with a splash of new color every season.
Christmas- winter green
New Years- navy blue
V-day- pink
St Pattys Day- lime green Spring- purples
Summer- aqua blue
Fall- burnt oranges and maroon

These candles would be great accents on the coffee table or mantle.

Meet Matthew




His dad Chris is in my teaching credential program cohort. Chris and I were talking about projects and hobbies and he showed me this:


It's a "Good Night Moon" room, and he made it for Matthew! Matthews favorite book is Goodnight Moon.
Here's the thing, Matthew had Autism. Because he has Autism he has problems pointing to objects...but Chris says that "with Goodnight Moon, he was a pointing machine. I wanted to make something he could explore and interact with.

My mom made the bunnies. Everything else was me. On a negative note, he's pretty much destroyed everything that wasn't glued down!"



This Saturday is World Autism Awareness Day and Chris has decided to do a "One Man Bike-a-thon" to raise financial support for the Central California Autism Center where Matthew goes for therapy. I have visited his blog here and pledged to support Chris fir the amount that I spend at the MCC sale f
