8X8

My Blogging Buddy "E Dub" sent me a cute little

"Picture Pass Along" tag...

Here are the rules for 8X8:

1. Go to your photos files and select the 8th photo folder.

2. Select the 8th photo in that folder.

3. Post that photo along with the story behind it.

4. Then challenge 8 blogging friends to do the same.

This picture was taken of GP & I

at a Brad Paisley Concert in So Cal

a few years back

over 4th of July weekend.

We love country music...
We made our hats...
We love our country...

Favorite Flip Flops

Have you ever heard of

Rainbow Sandals?

If you live in Southern California

you probably have!

The pair of flip flops on the top are my latest purchase...

One of my favorites!

They're made of hemp,

my feet don't slip & slide

and they last for more than one Summer.

This pink pair...

Well...

I'd LOVE to have them (amongst other colors), but...

I just can't justify spending

$80

on a pair of flip flops!

I can get them at the outlet center for

$60

But I still think that's a bit too much...

They are in fact, still, just a pair of flip flops...

What do you think???

Would you spend $80/$60 on them???

Spanish Tortilla

This looks like a Yummy recipe!

It's a Spanish Tortilla...

I've never heard of it...

I thought it was a quiche

"Don't confuse this with the flour or corn tortillas you use to make wraps. A Spanish tortilla is a potato-and-egg omelet found on numerous menus throughout Spain. Traditionally these are cooked in heaps of olive oil. Our version uses less oil, so it's lower in calories, and if you use precooked diced potatoes, it's faster too."

Looks like a great idea for brunch!
