Take a Walk – More Apple Slices

Mid-July

From looking at my July-so-far photos I see mostly outdoor time and food. Plus a few friend meet-ups and some theater. Good so far. Chris and I roamed around Huntington Beach last Saturday. It was a cool, overcast morning. We walked out on the pier, down Main Street and through all the PCH hotels andContinue reading “Mid-July”

March, So Far

I was gifted these very special Harry’s Berries. They lived up to their reputation. Also delicious this month was banana bread and Lentil Shepard’s Pie. I made a quick trip to Reno to visit Suzy. It was snowy and cold. We mostly stayed home, ate delicious food, and chatted for hours. We did venture outContinue reading “March, So Far”

August

August was a long month. We both ended our Covid free status with mild cases. We recovered quickly, but less quickly from the loss of our little Toby Dog. He passed away from an unidentified illness on July 26th. We were given a little cross for the yard in his memory and I am awaitingContinue reading “August”

2022 is Off to a Good Start

Beautiful January morning. Another beautiful morning. We roamed around Santa Monica on New Year’s Day. The beach bike path has some new color. I made Earl Grey’s delicious Toasted Almond Sable Cookies. I substituted dried cranberries for currants. I started a new cross stitch. It’s called Red, A Flower a Day. The idea is toContinue reading “2022 is Off to a Good Start”

Around Here

December tree and sky. Chris and I got our steps earlier this month in Marina del Rey. It was a crisp beautiful morning and we decided we want to live here. After the above walk we had brunch at the Cutters. The meal was delicious and I loved these napkins. Gift wrapping was fun thisContinue reading “Around Here”

Weekend

This was a good weekend. Most are, but this one had a few new adventures. First, we discovered a new walking path in Dana Point. The Monarch Beach Resort walking trail is beautiful. The path heads inland, but loops back to the coast. We wandered south on the beach and then headed up to theContinue reading “Weekend”

A Beach and A Canyon

We headed to Orange County this past three day weekend. One day in Laguna Beach and another in Morro Canyon. Laguna Beach never disappoints. Along with the usual unbelievable views we saw wedding prep and the bride and groom at the Montage, a labyrinth, a ranch resort along Aliso Creek and beautiful tile art. ButContinue reading “A Beach and A Canyon”

More DTLA Exploration

Jan visited this weekend! Her last visit was February 2020. We spent time with Mom, travel planning, shoe shopping and hanging around home to deal with a major plumbing problem. We did strike out Saturday to downtown for a walk and lunch. We started out at The Row, which was pretty quiet and we couldContinue reading “More DTLA Exploration”
