Yesterday – clean bill of health

I’ve spared you from seeing anything else …

Lots with a view

I paid a visit yesterday to my long ago passed relatives. It was a little hazy, but still a beautiful morning for a solitude drive to the point. It had been so long since I visited Grandma and Grandpa that I had to stop at the office to do a search and get a map. I can’t believe it’s been thirty years… Their site is so beautiful, I should really go to visit more often.

The plot is to the far right near the big tree. You can see a small bouquet of (plastic) flowers… it’s just in front and to the left of that.

If I could come up with one word for them, I believe it would be “GENEROUS.”

Then off to visit Jon, but first I had to find him. I ended up going back to the office to take another look at the map. I bet it’s been since before Billi died that anyone has gone to visit him. He, too, has a great view, only his is of SD Bay, North Island, downtown and to the east.

I had to take a closeup of this really cool, huge sailboat. What the picture doesn’t show is that it looked as though there were a LOT of people on it. Next time, I’ll bring the telescopic lens and hope for a clearer day.

Well, I’m back at work today after having four days off. My usual work week – three days on, four days off. It might sound like a vacation, but I really do spend a lot of time working at the computer on work related projects, Billi Trust related projects and property management for Cape May, not to mention teaching five yoga classes a week & a Friday afternoon babysitting (complete with baby yoga) gig.

Yesterday proved to be a victory over a final detail of getting a “troubled” tenant to move out by January 31! General Release is now signed by both tenants of the unit. Heavy sigh …

Tomorrow – baby picture(s).

While we say Goodbye to 2013 …

… we say Happy Birthday to Jamie!

Robb, Akuch & Alo stopped by yesterday and took some of the cheesecake home with them, and Toni came to yoga last night & brought all but one tiny piece home to share with The Boys. We’re now down to the one tiny piece that I may devour before the day (& year) is up.

Here’s a picture of Akuch, Alo & Robb at Sunset Cliffs compliments of Akuch.

& here are some other pictures of Akuch & Alo on Christmas compliments of Robb.

I’m looking forward to sending 2013 off with a toast & good dinner at Bali Hai tonight!

Meet Buddy

Bill’s Buddy, that is. A lucky, sweet companion adopted from the SD Humane Society. She’s 5+ years old.

IT’S (going to be) A BOY!!!

Sunsets and Blooms

The last of the November sunsets – taken November 30.

Even though it’s getting colder, our orchids are managing to bloom. I think I finally got the “flower” function with manual focus on my SLR figured out …

This orchid’s roots are attached to a palm tree, and it is hanging on independently. You can see the roots climbing up the tree.

This unusual orchid that’s been blooming for quite a while is living in harmony with a huge staghorn fern.

The bloom below is one of many tiny blooms on a little succulent we have growing in a pot. Each delicate little bloom in reality is about a half inch in diameter.

We had a nice lunch with Bill at Nati’s yesterday even though he didn’t look at my blog in the morning and didn’t get my message … :-/

Throwback Thursday

The year … (I’m going to guess) 1978 …

Can you guess who this is?

I’ll give you a hint… This little girl did not grow up in California.

Bill, if you’re reading this, you wanna have lunch today? Dutch. 11:45. Your choice of venue.

AND … are you ready for the OB Holiday Parade???

Birthday & more …

My birthday started with with flowers Bruce picked from the yard and a homemade birthday card,

A walk and one on two time with Annie & Bear,

…then Bruce took me for breakfast at Ortega’s.

A good friend of mine, Lynn Patton, who moved to North Carolina earlier this year spent Thanksgiving in Dublin, GA, and sent me these pictures.

That’s cotton, and I love the birdhouses.

Go Chargers even though the game’s blacked out 🙁

Black Friday. The day after …

I took my three bouquets of flowers and incorporated them into one big one!

They’re beautiful!

As much as I’m against animal cruelty, I broke the chocolate turkey into small pieces, ready for delivery to the Cordners.

I didn’t take a lot of pictures. It’s harder when we’re the hosts, and if I have to choose between taking a picture or holding my grandson, the grandson will win every time! If anyone has pictures they want to share, text or email them to me & I’ll post them. Here are a few …
