Midweek Check In
Happy Hump Day to you and yours! Anyone else having a case of the "short week feels longer than a regular week" yet or does that hit tomorrow? Unfortunately, Monday afternoon the tweens/teens found the pool not too far from the abode so we got to listen to the hootings of young, insecure males attempting to show off for both girls and their fellow brethren. I'm really hoping this is just some cousins visiting or something for the weekend because I know of only one teen boy here and he's a loner. Is pool season over yet? It always starts strong like this and then typically dies down within a month but what an irritating month it is until then. We did some more work out on the patio Monday. It was going to be the last sunny day before two days of forecasted rain...again. I made sure to get the new picket painted and hung to cover this delightful sight: When the picket was off, I could see how bad the support 2x4's looked on the fence. ...
Disneyland, Sea World, the beach and Yosemite as a kid.

I live in California not SF but it's just gorgeous here. Within about 45 minutes I am at the beach, desert or in 15 in the mountains. It's wonderful. Glad you enjoyed your stay:)
ReplyDeleteIf you disclosed you were on vacation before now I missed it, but boy do I enjoy hearing about your trips!!
ReplyDeleteMy father lived in San Francisco when I was a child and we spent 3-4 weeks there several summers in a row. My aunt lived in San Jose at the time so we would go there too. I've never been back to northern California as an adult, but would love to go back. My dad moved to the coast of LA when I was in high school and I visited him several times there. My aunt moved to Santa Barbara and I've visited her several times. I enjoy visiting California but couldn't imagine living there.
Your trip sounds fantastic and I can't wait to hear more about where you went!
Been to San Francisco a few times as a kid, my aunt & uncle (and later my grandma) lived in Sacramento and when we'd go to visit, we'd usually spend a day in San Francisco. I am always reminded of the Mark Twain quote, "The coldest winter I ever spent was the summer I spent in San Francisco." It has been cold every time I've gone there, and it was always summer time. I know the people who set up on corners, selling sweatshirts are probably rich enough to afford housing in San Francisco. The last time I was there was in August of 1989 on a family vacation with my own kids. We went to an Oakland A's baseball game in the afternoon, and we all got sunburnt. Then that night we took a tour of San Francisco on one of those carts, and had to cuddle up underneath heavy blankets they provided, of course all of us wearing the brand new sweatshirts we had bought from the street vendors. But I do love the city--particularly that Golden Gate Bridge! Breathtaking! Thanks for sharing your amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteI love the Clint Eastwood movie "Play Misty for Me" for all the scenes of Carmel. would love to go
