Ho Ho Ho and the Witch

Marylyn and I have been friends for over 20 years...through thick and thin. And through many costume changes, too.

Pictures of Pillows

Yes...exciting, I know. I bought these pillow covers in the Jewish quarter of the Jerusalem market. Davida helped me examine the entire shelf until we found the perfect match They have been riding around in my car for over a month and FINALLY I went to the fabric store to buy the stuffing pillows. Now they look perfect in my living room.

Flip Flop Party!

Beth goes wild with a theme...tonight combined Halloween with flip flops. Flip flopping food such as jumbo shrimp was served along with flip flop cookies and a flip flop cake. Kris wore her dress and jewelry flip flopped around (until it got too uncomfortable), Ann dressed as Santa, and we all enjoyed the wine pairing with different candies (Hot Tamales with Pinot grigio - a flop. Tawny port with Reeses Pieces - a hit!) So much fun!

Hanging with the Cat

Playing around with the camera on my new i-pod...

A Different Kind of Bird

My school has a beautiful garden and I often walk in to pick mint or rosemary to take home. We take the kids in to weed or plant or sit and observe. We've measured perimeter of beds and calculated cubic feet of soil. Sometimes, we take out work out there and the birds watch us work. These birds never make a peep.

Halloween Cow?

The neighborhood in Point Loma off Voltaire street is chock full of great old houses, beautiful gardens, and quirky yard decorations. Although many yards are ready for Halloween - this was the only cow I saw.

Animal Lovers, Look Away...

Seen and bought at Cardiff Seaside Market - PETA brand steak sauce. People Eating Tasty Animals. The side of the bottle reads "Where's the beef...and the veal. prk and chicken too? And don't forget the whale, dolphin, baby seal and panda. Loving all God's creatures next to my mashed potatoes." Lee nearly fell over when he saw the bottle and couldn't buy it fast enough.
