Took this real quick of my pretty flowers from my CSA basket. Love how they are arranged. I try to have flower in my house all the time. It just shows you care about your home. I say this as I am sitting at the computer, looking at the floor and seeing all the dust bunnies floating across the floor. Hey, with 4 dogs and one cat in and out I am not surprised. We have Edward R. Merle, Tasha, Bella, Olivia and my sweet cat Elviria. Next time I will have picture of all of them. Havent done that in a long time.
We went to San Francisco Saturday. You remember the second hottest day of the year, with
Friday being the other hot day. Well, we got out of
Dodge for the cooler weather of San Francisco.
As you can see in the trees the marine layer was hanging over the coast. It was great ! The temp. was between 60' and 65'. Oh, how we loved it. We stopped at the "Palace of Legend of Honor", We didn't go inside but will try to get to it next time as they were having Water Impressions. I'm sure it was amazing but we wanted to stay outside and enjoy the coolness. So we walked around the grounds and I took pictures of the statues and the building.
I love this Lion. They are so majestic. Would love to have these in my yard, on a smaller scale, well, maybe not. That would certainly be different.
There were many people working in the flower gardens in front of this building. They were having a grand time and I'm sure it was a volunteer event as were all ages with big smiles on their faces and doing a great job I might add.
Of course we have the "Thinker", Now I do have two of these on a smaller scale like maybe 8". I saw them at the Dollar Store years ago and was very glad I picked them up. That was when you could get unique items from the Dollar Store. Now I"m afraid all we get is junk from China.
We stopped at the Cliff House and looked around. I was there in the early 60's with Aunts and Uncles, along with my parents. It's very different now. At that time you could get an ice cream cone and it's seems the one building had a museum in it. Now it looks like a cafe and gift shop. While they seemed to be very nice was a little disappointed there wasn't more. Oh well, I guess you can't expect it to be the same.
How about this picture ! Two of my Granddaughters who are sisters. Of course the one in the drivers seat has just Graduated and is sitting in her Present. Yes ! and three cheers for her. She has done wonderful and is heading to Butte College in the fall. The one in the passenger seat has done very well herself and will be entering the 8th Grade which will be her last year there. My how time flies.
I have two other Granddaughters who I am very proud of, Two Grandsons, with a Grandbaby on the way and Two more Boys who call me Grandma. Tootles !
