99.99% of the time my beautiful city looks like this. We took this picture at lunch just last week:
So when my city looks like this it makes me sad and anxious and restless.....and very ADD - can't complete a thought as every thing may be impacted by an evacuation!
We have been evacuated 2x and it was about a mile from us this time and it is unsettling to say the least.....today was the first day I felt the onshore breeze when I walked Rocky....a sign of return to Normalcy I hope
So forgive my ADD Anxiety catch up posting....not out of danger yet but calm enough to catch my breath and reflect on the past few weeks leading up to firestorm 2014....
We were all excited when The Addie came for Mothers Day....Brody was out of school due to a cut in his foot so he got to go with us to pick up our very special visitor. We watched the plane land and enjoyed every minute with him....
We all went to breakfast at Cully's....a family favorite we have frequented since Adam was almost Brody's age....can't beat the blueberry pancakes....
Among a lot of other fun activities we went to the beach on Mothers Day and had a great picnic. We also played croquet (competitive) and had lots of fun dinners, laughs and got caught up on all kinds of fun things.....missed getting pictures! We were sad to see him go but he will be back for Kristen's birthday and Fathers Day! Hooray!
I got some really nice things for mothers day....home made ceramic roses from the boys, gift cards from A&K, a new phone case for my new phone, a nice wallet, a beautiful blouse from Steve and lovely flowers....but the best gift is family and being together. I did order this for my mothers day gift.....I can't wait to read it!
The butterfly garden that Dylan shared with Brody's Kinder class all produced chrysalis' and butterflies!
And a fun and exciting release to free them was a fun event
We met our niece and her boyfriend in OB for lunch....can't go to OB without stopping at my favorite shop Vignettes....I will not be denied such inspiration....love this place
oooooooo's and ahhhhhhhhh' and inspired by all the crystal!
So after lunch I came home and found a old crystal chocker my mom gave me....
And this prism from a French flea market (I want to go back to Paris!)
And I converted the chocker to a longer necklace and attached the prism.....love it
A very special couple got married last weekend! It was a beautiful wedding....
Kristen helped with all the details.....
The made everything so unique!
Fun mugs for all the guests....
Adorable place settings....
All the comments from our RSVP cards were written out and posted for all the guest to see....
A surfboard menu of the evenings events!
A beautiful backyard reception setting....I remember we were so cold!
'I Do' Home Brew
A visit to Rosecrans to pay respects on Mothers Day....this naval ship departing the harbor = God Bless the USA
My mothers day flowers love the heat....they are amazing....the little 'roses' the boys made are next to the vase along with a vintage mothers day card in an antique frog....love the little pink house on it.
Our drought resistant backyard make over continues...... It is a weekend end project so will take awhile.....
And a very special visitor this week....a red tailed Hawk. The Addie (family historian) says that Native American history tells us that when a red tailed hawk visits you it is a good sign that great wisdom and blessing are coming your way!
Bring it!
