COLOR MY PERFECT DAY!

Yesterday we celebrated Jonathan's birthday a little early.  He got his choice of restaurants for a family dinner and guess what he chose: Yats!  It's a cajun place with cheap, but wonderful food!  The four of us ate for $6.00 a plate (thank you, Jon!), and they don't serve alcohol! (Is this really my child?)  It was delicious!

Today I took Dieds to the airport for his return to Dubai.  It's hard to believe his two week vacation is over already.  I dropped him off at 12:30 for a 2:30 flight.....and he was delayed until about 5:30.  Sure hope he makes his connection in Washington.   Call me when you get home, Dieds!! 

Met Murrassco and Mrs. Murray for a nice, relaxing lunch!  It was great to catch up and spend some time with both of them!  It is COLD here -- 51 degrees was the high today!  But I am committed to continue wearing flip flops!!  I am loving being back in the States, however, I have to admit that this is what I am thinking about.....




It starts with a sparkling, warm beach full of CREAM sand....

And, of course, bright AQUA sea water.....

A nice soft BLUE towel....

And WHITE flip flops that were worn all winter long....

Add in a bright GREEN air mattress......

And a couple of BROWN camels.....

And several sunburned RED friends.....

And that is the color of my most perfect day!!  C'mon Indy, please warm up SOON!

I TOLD YOU SO......

Sorry, in advance, for the sideways video!  Does anyone know if you can rotate a video clip?

Striking similarity, eh?  Our very own Pier 39.... I told you so!!

A FUNNY THING HAPPENED AT THE POOL YESTERDAY!!!

Yes, a funny thing happened at the pool yesterday.  Unfortunately, I don't have a picture.....but you can use your imaginations, I'm sure!!

As I've said before, there is no sitting beside the pool or next to the pool around here.  It is way too hot for that!  So whenever I am at the pool I am, literally, IN THE POOL.  Yesterday I was there with five other women and one man.  We were all laying on the pools' infinity ledges, basking in the sun with cool water running by us.  It was absolutely amazing!   All of a sudden I got this image in my mind....

Have you ever been to San Francisco?  Well, if you have, I'm sure you've been to the Pier where the Sea Lions or Seals or Walruses (I think they're Sea Lions) lay on the floating docks sunning themselves?  And every now and again one of them rolls over into the water and then jumps back up for some more warm sun rays?  Well, that's what we all looked like!  I'm not kidding!  I started laughing and then told the ladies around me my analogy.....Alex and Anna started laughing, however, the French speaking mom and daughter didn't have a clue what I was talking about!!

I always LOVED watching those cute Sea Lions.....they seemed so content just laying in the sun and taking a dip every now and  again.   Hmmmmmm.....I'm wondering if anyone is watching us cute little Humans basking in the sun on the ledges of the pools and taking a dip every now and again!

Do you get the picture?
