Pink Martini















My friend Kitty introduced me to the group Pink Martini. They play an eclectic and interesting mix of music. Their albums are really fun to listen to. You can learn more about them via their website: www.pinkmartini.com.

i madonnari




















































































The i madonnari Italian street painting festival was last weekend in Santa Barbara. I went during lunch today to see the chalk drawings. Unfortunately due to operator error the pictures turned out very blurry. I hope you can see how wonderful they are regardless of the poor picture quality. The first three images are from i madonnari 2008. The last three images are from i madonnari 2007; the 2007 picture quality is much better. To learn more about i madonnari click here: www.imadonnarifestival.com.

Book















This is the book I am currently reading. I got a lot of reading done over the holiday weekend.

I had a hard time figuring out today's POD, so my husband, Ted, offered to help. This is one of the pictures he took.

Pismo Beach

Ted and I spent the afternoon at Pismo Beach. It was a bit chilly, but it was beautiful.






We ate lunch at Mo's bar-b-que. We thought the order numbers were cute. The food was delicious.

Presidents And the World





























I purchased these place mats last Christmas as stocking stuffers. The president place mat is Ted's and the world place mat is mine. They not only protect our dining room table they are educational as well.

*Once again, I have not yet learned how to rotate images so this one will remain sideways for now.

Mu















I stayed with my friends Carolyn and Vince last night and could not resist taking pictures of their charming cat, Mu. I think this one captures his curious nature.

Note: This picture was taken on May 13th, however I did not get a chance to post it until today.

Homeward Bound















Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought’s escaping
Home where my music’s playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me

Happy Mother's Day














I did not take this picture today, but in honor of Mother's Day I wanted to share a picture of my mom and me. This picture was taken in September 2004.

Ted & Beth


The thing about this caricature drawing is it looks nothing like Ted or me. We think it is hilarious and so it hangs in our downstair's hallway.

Library


One of my favorite past times is reading. I love our local library. It's not big but it has a great selection for a small town library.
