Tom & I went adventuring around the town yesterday & found a historical building that had been set aside as a museum. we didnt get to go inside & it was a bit odd since people live on the property too. anyways we took out our cameras & shot away.

If i would have known that this was the day tom was going to propose, i would have done my best to cover up that silly bike shorts tan. We spent the day out and about Oak Glen. We got mini pies, apples, apple butter & the most amazing apple cinnamon mini doughnuts. We even got half a dozen for free. if doughnuts tasted like that all the time, i would be a larger person. Anyways, tom & i are getting married! and it shall be soon!

Ive never really understood what this walkway is there for, but it makes for a good picture spot. Got this dress for $9 this past weekend. It made me happy. We finally got around to watching the help. I have to admit it was better than i was expecting.

Tom & I spent the day running errands around the city. We took advantage of the local Borders bookstore closing and bought an exceeding amount of history books. I finally got Chernow's biography on Alexander Hamilton as well as a book on remarkable California pioneer women. Tom also picked up a few i plan on stealing like the last installment of Edmund Morris's Roosevelt biographies and a Churchill biography. We are gluttons for history, i suppose.

Tom & I try to go on bike rides every Sunday morning. It sadly doesn't always happen, but im very happy when it does. We ride through the local neighborhoods. I usually spend my time gawking at houses & daydreaming about them. You would be surprised at the things you find while you ride around. We encountered a barn in the middle of a residential neighborhood, which you can somewhat see in the first picture. We also found a house that had a windmill, ferris wheel, and a train in their front yard.

Tom & I spent some time exploring the local abandoned golf course. It is in the most unexpected neighborhood. Anyways, I got this dress at the salvation army a couple weeks ago. I have always felt that i am too short to wear a maxi dress, being only 5' 2", but it was actually quite comfortable. Hurrah for trying new things.

This is what i like to call my Eastern European dress. I purchased it at an estate sale a while back, not knowing if it would fit me or not.  It is a very odd cut too. I will admit it took me a while to learn how i was supposed to wear it. There are no zippers or buttons, but lots of strings to tie. Anyways, i wore this out to baby sit my nephew. He literally slept the whole time, so tom & i just hung out and watched movies.

Tuesday Afternoon

 Tom & used this day as our date day. It started out with a hike around the nature center in Anaheim. I brought another pair of shoes for the hike, i am not that cuckoo. There we had a picnic and just walked along the stream. It was lovely. Its nice to find refuge like this in the middle of suburbia.

Afterwards we headed out to the Richard Nixon Library & Birthplace because it was hot, hot, hot out & we both love american history. It was so much better than i expected. There were lots of fun little exhibits. My favorites being the gowns of mrs, nixon and her daughters. They also had a wall full of letters children had written to the president after he lost to president kennedy. This one was my favorite of them all:

The day ended with a short visit to tom's grandfathers & then we went to see harry potter in 3d. the theater was empty and it was a great end to a lovely day.

Afterwards, we headed out to the race track to bet our money & watch black rebel motorcycle club, who were playing after the races. It was my third time seeing them live in the past year or so, and it was still a great show. Anyways, on our way there we ran into this random little bridge & it was refreshing.
