Day Dreamin'

Haven't been on a

REAL

vaca

for many years.

It's March in Idaho,

and I typically 

yearn for green trees,

blue sky,

sunshine....

and my mind wanders to 

sunny

Cal-i-for-n-i-a.

Carmel by the Sea....

Can you imagine living in this place where

the gas stations are even artsy???

From my trip in 2008

with the fabulous

Nene.

Carmel....

Ya, what were these fascinatingly beautiful fuzzy little orange

thingies???

I totally understand why my parents 

moved back in the later years of

their lives.

The flowers,

the short winters..

(sigh)

The B and B we stayed at.

Opened the window at night

to hear the lapping of the

Pacific Ocean.

mmmmmmmm....

Off to Santa Barbara.....

Sambos Restaraunt.

The very first,

and the very last.

Had a very satisfying

breakfast.

(Not my picture above this.  Possibly a postcard?)

Our hotel room...

Outside the back porch of our room...

Visiting my Grandma and Grandpa.

Tagen hugging  them.

I never met them,

had never been to this cemetery

as a child or adult....

far away from our homes.

Agapanthus and Jackaranda

in SB at an LDS Church.

Mission SB

My award winning picture of a woman praying in

the chapel at SB Mission.

Heck ya!

$50.00!!!

I have no idea why I don't take pictures any more.

I got alot of satisfaction trying to capture stuff!!!

Gotta get on the stick and just do it!

And so, I dream on,

and try not to dwell on

miserable things.

Les Miserables

'Tis a wacky world we live in.

May your Wednesday have less

wackiness and more

wonderfulness,

is my wish

for you.

Au revoir.

xoxo
