    Woot, Lily! I loved "Little Miss Sunshine", and yeah, that was his uncle.

    Your pictures were totally awesome, especially that one of the pier, I have a wobbly pier in my neck of the woods that they put up after Spring and take down after Autumn (for obvious reasons -- wouldn't want that baby up when it hits forty below!). Anyhow, enjoyed those!

    Those were taken yesterday. I do. I am so lucky to live here. I really am. I love how this town has never really quite grown out the 1950s/60s. We've got the surfers, the vintage Foster Freeze, and all the classic cars putt-putting around because the weather allows classic cars to stay in good condition.

    Listen to the song "California" by The Beach Boys.

    Yep.

    I had some trouble uploading this one. Anyway, this is a photo I took a couple summers ago when I was living in Vermont. I forget what street this is, just a few blocks from the famous Church Street coming from the top end.

    Here's one I took a few weeks ago when I went to the art museum in Santa Barbara. It was my favorite piece and luckily it was outside. It's called "Cultural (In)difference".



    And here's another one from Sunday that I like a lot.


    Contrary to what it looks like, it's fairly nippy here. Honest. Expecially that water. Here for me, the ocean is for looking at, not to swim in. Too cold! Santa Rosa Island is in the backround.

    Lily, the Pacific ocean is much colder than the Atlantic. Going to the beach on the east coast is different than the west coast.

    Yup. In my three travels to the east coast, I stepped into the Atlantic once. It was in Atlantic City, no less, in New Jersey, and I remember it was soooo warm. Quite surprising for me.

    we had a mouse in our flat and he kept my hubby awake for a couple of nights.
    so we bought a trap (the cage variety), but he nicked the food a couple of times and the trap didn't shut.
    when we returned from the Christmas market today, what do we find? Fred the mouse He was so cute!
    We sat him free outdoors.
