Other July things....

My brother likes to go to garage sales. He bought a couple trunks for $5, to store things in, in his garage. Inside the trunks were a couple of Alpaca rugs! 

I got to bring one home with me! It's fantastic. Big and super soft and thick. I'm going to put it in the bedroom after the hardwood floors are in. Mmmmmm, nice on the bare feet for sure!

Here are a couple shots of Lake Elsinore - (well, only the end of the lake) where my brother lives;

And, completely unrelated to California...THESE ARE THE BEST PENS EVER! Ink Joy is an appropriate name for them too.

I bought them. Right along with another set of 70 colored gel pens. Something is wrong with me. Please, if you ever see me looking at gel pens, tackle me!!!! Who needs 500 gel pens??? I ask you??!!!
