A Week of Friends & Family & Fun...


We spent a special evening this weekend with my family down at the Dana Point Harbor. Eddie decided to take us all out to the Wind & Sea for drinks and dinner. After dinner he took us out on the dingy in the harbor at sunset. The harbor was absolutley beautiful at that time of the day. Then this just made my evening complete..... As we went cruising down the harbor I came across a vessel called "Ducky." I had to take this picture. See the "Ducks" is always with us!!! Boy do I miss the Ducks!!!



Captain Eddie and first skipper Felicia were the perfect host and hostess as usual.



The harbor was just beautiful in the evening.
I loved looking at the different names of the boats.





Kim was in deep thought looking out into the sunset.





We all gathered at the Wind & Sea in Dana Point Harbor for drinks and dinner.
What a nice time.
It's always nice to get together with family.

A Special Time of Friendship.....


There is nothing like having great friends. I spent a wonderful few days with my friend Debbie Clymer down in Newport Beach this week. The stress and challenges of this system have their way of taking a toll on all of us and it is so nice to be able to get away and just stop and smell the flowers sometimes and just re-group your thoughts. Debbie and I were able to visit a beautiful local nursery in Newport Beach. These are just a sample of the beautiful flowers we saw. As you know I can't resist taking pictures of flowers. I love flowers!!!!

The view from the balcony of the condo we stayed at was awesome. We could see the boats go by as we drank our coffee in the morning. And planned out our day.
The weather was just perfect.


Aren't these blooms just beautiful!



We ate breakfast at a French Bakery in Laguna Beach. We had stuffed french toast and it was as good as it sounds! Of course we had to bring some pastries to the condo to last us the whole week! That's ok though we took long walks everyday....





Our waiter graciously took our picture before we ordered.
Do you see him in the
backround?
