Happy Hour, Safety Drive

 There is different between a drinker and Alcoholism, although both  of them drink everyday.
A drinker can cook and knows what good food with drink, and enjoy food and drink.
An  Alcoholism does not care about quality of drink or food. just keep drinking until pass out.
I stop by one of my friend last week to see, and we went to a wine bar at happy hour. Fresh oysters, soft taco were tasty with white wine, then we went back to her place to drink and eat more. She is good cooker, and she can create different kind of small dish. We talked, ate, drink, then my husband called me to see what was going on. My friend spoke to my husband and she said suddenly, let go see him!!!  I was not sure
if she was drunk or not, but we hop in her car and drove to my home Concord. Her driving was not so great,
but We made to Concord home without any trouble.
Then she talked, talked to my husband, and hopped into jacuzzi, and started swimming. After that, we start drinking and eating until 1am.  Well it's time to sleep.
She woke up next morning, and said where I am, why I am my friend house? She did not remember much about what was going on last night.  Before she left my house, she found out that she did not bring her wallet with her. Well I could only say, happy hour and saved life.  We are not young anymore.

Happy Moments Congratulation!! Nadeshiko Japan

 My daughter called me yesterday around 1:15, and said "Go, go Japan!!"
"What are you talking about?" " Japan and US are tie and overtime now"
I remember that today was World Cup soccer women's final Japan vs. USA!!
It was surprised for me that Japan beat other countries and came to final.
I was out of town to meet people, and I turned on the radio, the radio was very hard to hear because of reception was bad. I heard as if USA won, but it wasn't. 
I did not have change to watch the game, but my husband said it was good game, and many people call our home to cheer the victory. It was good pleasure moments for hard working player, and bitter moment to USA team, but after all it over.  All player start working hard for future game. This is endless work.  Time is faster than ever, and yesterday's victory and enjoyment will be forgetful  in couple days, and people forget easily, "Who won the last game??"
Enjoy the moments, and keep moving for tomorrow.
Happy moments.

Happy Beading Workshop


I started my jewelry making workshop from last month. Last month was trial workshop, if my friends and their companies like to make beads jewelry and continue to do or not.  Then after the workshop, they said  that it was fun.  As their request, I decided to continue the workshop once a month base. I am not skilled beads maker, but I can share what I have learned from attended class, or book or my experience jewelry making. About 8 to 10 women came to my house to learn,  had tea and snacks, chatting, and made  at least one necklace or couple earrings.  They said they all had good time.  I suggested them to remake and redesign  for old, out of fashion Jewelry and one part missing jewelry  you have somewhere in your closet or box.  I watched CSI New York. , and Woman detective(Sela Word)'s wears always nice necklace, and I try to copy  making similar design necklace. I am planning to make a necklace and erring for my daughter's wedding too.

Happy End Home Purchasing

 Finally, we closed a condo unit. It supposed to be easy smooth transaction, but it took us 4 months to close.
The condo units are sold as condo conversion.  The location convenient area, and each units are remodeled.
My client loved it, and made an offer immediately. We have done what we have to do as a buyer, then we found out the owner of condo has not complete of paper work to sell as condo units.  The owner have to clear couple paper works and get approval from City, and County.  We were ready to close, but the sellers were not ready, if seller does not clear certain condition,  loan will not approved as condo. The buyer's loan himself was approved for long time, but if condo is not able  to get loan, the buyer has to back off.
 Luckily for the seller, there are not much condo properties on market within the buyer's budget, and the buyer really liked the unit. The seller agreed to pay buyer's costs, and the buyer just kept waiting until all cleared.  The seller took very serious to get it done as soon as possible, more delay cost more money to the seller. After hard working by the seller,  finally sighed a week ago, and closed it this Friday.  I received the keys from the seller, and delivered it Friday.  I hope a new owner enjoys new house. Each transaction has drama, but after all it will be Happy End. Enjoy new house, new neighbors.

Happy End.
