California Dreaming- San Luis Opispo

Posted on

Yes, California dreaming has now become a reality.

Two weeks ago my husband and I left NY, during the heat wave.  It was so hot that day that as we drove to the airport, at 5 am, the car registered 86 degrees.  Oh, boy hot already and the sun had not officially made its entrance.

We wondered what the weather was like in San Luis Opispo, California.  Hopefully not experiencing a heat wave like New York.  Hot! Hot! Hot!

 

Here is Bill enjoying breakfast at JFK as we wait to board the plane. Would you believe that they serve no meals on the plane, can you imagine, we did not even get a bag of peanuts.  Of course you can pay for a plastic sandwich or eggs but not me.  So we opted for an egg mcmuffin from McDonald’s, which we did enjoy eating.  McDonalds ain’t so bad for breakfast.

 

I always love a window seat.  I like to look down at the earth.  I am reminded of how small we really are in the scheme of things.

Check out the view from the plane. Mountainous terrain, how small when your getting a airplane view.

Here we are  getting ready to land.  The beach of San Luis Opispo, California.

The markings look like someone just took a finger and draw all kinds of crazy lines in the ground…could it be aliens?

Arrived safe and sound.  My husband, Bill, enjoys a cold glass of beer along with his two brothers.  My husband had three brothers,  Eddie, I know was there in spirit.

 

 

They meet us at the airport with them there cowboy hats. The whole visit all we wanted was my husband to get a cowboy  hat and join the rest of the family, but not Mr. Bill.

A Group of Cowboys along with a city slicker.  

I truly enjoyed the company, three brothers and a girlfriend.  A sitcom to be?   The trip was a 9 day event and a very good one it was.  Oh, how was the weather there…perfect.  Cool in the mornings, hot in the afternoons and cool in the evening.  So, while New York was hot,hot,hot, we were perfectly comfortable.

I love to place lights along my gazebo and up my deck stairs.

But the problem is those ugly electric cords, not to mention looking for an electric outlet. My husband and I always fight over  the cord.  I want them hidden and he does not see any reason why they should be.  I think they are so ugly.

However, Allsop Home & Garden solved this problem for me.  Now we can have fun fesitve lights all around the back and front of the house,  and no ugly electric cords and no need for electric outlets.

See, Allsop Home & Garden have a wonderful selection of outdoor lighting powered by the sun, (solar energy).  I can  hang them out and watch them glow, and no ugly electric cords to connect them to.   Thank you, Mister Sunshine and Allsop Home and Garden.

Eyebrows and Tattooing

Posted on

Did you ever do something that you never thought you would ever do.

Well, Liz and I did.

We both had our eyebrows tattooed.  It was certainly a spur of the moment decision.  A decision that, well, we could not back out of.  Money was paid, and we said,” What the heck.”  However, I did almost back out of the whole thing, when Liz told me they would have to shave off our eyebrows so they could do the tattooing.  OH, NOOO!  I screamed I am not shaving my eyebrows off.  So I started to do some investigating, it would have been nice if I did the investigating before we coughed up the money for this procedure.  But sometimes you just have to jump in the pool, and then check to see if there is any water in it. After checking on the web all the information I got was good.  Seems that eyebrow tattooing is more common then we realized.


We were more than nervous.                                                                        Liz was the first one to go in.  Here she is with the aesthetician, Emily.  Emily is shaping Liz’s eyebrows,  giving her more definition.                               Emily used a brow pencil to define the eyebrow’s  Here is what Emily draw…Liz looks so different.                                    The anesthesia is applied to Liz’s eyebrows and then she is whisked away into another room…

After two hours we were done.  My brows are darker.Here’s Liz! AND HER NEW LOOK.
Tattooing was not simple and it takes awhile for the brow to heal. Emily said the brow color is dark at first, but will get lighter when the scabs fall off.  We cannot wait for that to happen.  Just one more note.  No one even noticed that we did anything to our eyebrows.  So I guess that is good.  A natural look is what we wanted.
