Shopping in the City !!


This is what I bought.  Isn't it just the sweetest cupboard ever.  Remember I told you our home (well, part of it) is in an old school bus #4.  This is the kitchen at the front.  You come up the steps, grab on to the pole and swing up and you, my friend are in my kitchen.  Looking straight ahead you will see my newest edition....The SanFrancisco Cupboard.  The middle is a pull down door.  That is where I keep my baking needs and my pasta machine.  Want to see my homemade pasta ?
How about that, uh ?  Looks pretty good.
As you can see my kitchen is blue with some white or cream, a little green and black thrown in.
And this is where I bought the cupboard.....

Isn't this the coolest apt. building. She lived on the first floor on the left.  There were some steep steps going up to her door.  It was just like you would think inside.  The front room, that is where the windows are, is the bedroom.  Must be why she has them all covered.  We walked into the kitchen, after going through an entrance room.  It was full of bags and boxes of things.  She did say they were changing things around and the kitchen was adorable in the fact that it was old fashion.  I loved the old painted fancy work cupboards but what was different or I should say odd is the kitchen counter was full of liquor bottles.  I don't think you could have gotten another bottle on there.  Hey, to each his own I say.  She couldn't have been kinder or sweeter and had even came home on her lunch break so kudo's to her.  We ask her where would a good place be to have lunch and she suggested "Chile's Kitchen" which was up the street one block.  We went and the food was delicious.  Here is a pic of the outside......


You can see in the reflection in the window the beautiful buildings.  Will have more pic of SF next time.  Until then have a great day.  Tootles

A Big Hello from Adalaide and little Opal

These are my yard girls.  I move them all around the yard as sometime they are leaning on the fence and other times on the railing like now or under the tree.  They are my greeters.  Really I would like to have manikins all over the yard.  I think they are cool and you could dress them up for the different seasons.  Some people think I am crazy ( like my kids ) but hey, I say just have fun.
     We are having some rain here.  Just a little so far but the weatherman says tonight after midnight is when it will be the heaviest.  NOOOOO!!!!  I do not want that much rain.  I live where I do not have sidewalks or a garage to drive into.  Sometimes I have to try and tiptoe around mud puddles to make it to the car.  Believe me I use to love the rain but now when you have to deal with the mud it's not so special.
     I have been thrilled.  I received the first two seasons of "Downton Abby" for my b-day.  I swear I am enthralled, I'm so into watching that I don't noticed anything going on around me.  It's exactly the kind of movies I love to watch.  I am enjoying them so much, then to find out Shirley McClaine will be staring in them next season (the 3rd season) that my friend is the icing on the cake.   Tootles
