**CHEERS!!!**

~~**This was taken on Mom and Dad's front deck last year {2005} during the Sternwheeler Festival. We have always had such a good time during this weekend and Mom spares no expense to make it fun for family and friends. Unfortunately, since Dad has gotten sick, it has dwindled down to very small gatherings of mostly just the family, but we still manage to have a nice time eating good food, enjoying each others company and drinking a few cold ones as I seem to be enjoying in this photo! {LOL!}

*Edit: As this years Sternwheel Festival edges closer, I wonder what it will bring? Will Mom still decide to have her usual party or will it be reserved for just close family due to Dad's increasing illness? {Probably} How will I cope with the fact that Misty will be leaving us for college in a week or less?

Ehh....Tonight, I am thinking my Blog title pretty much sums it all..."C'Est La Vie"!!
