It's Already THURSDAY???

My goodness - I must be having fun like I said I would!  I can't believe it's been since Sunday that I posted... and that was about Saturday!

This will be a big weekend - Fourth of July 2011!   I will be watching a fireworks show from my little tiny patio deck in Mission Viejo - they will be shot off over Lake Mission Viejo - I am lucky!  I even get a parking place! 

This week has been busy with work, and just the regular stuff!  It's warming up here in the O.C. finally - we didn't really have a summer last year - so we are in for it this year - YAY! 

Here are some beautiful photos I took a few years ago as I was walking around Lake Mission Viejo - (back when I DID walk around the lake .... oi..... )

More tomorrow - when I am full of inspiration!


Beautiful Lake Mission Viejo - from the top of the street looking down - Great Summer Concerts there - just missed Dionne Warwick - the one and only! - I can actually hear the concerts from my house!  But - nothing like LIVE music....


This is a magnolia blossom!  I remember when I was a kid, we had a beautiful Magnolia tree in the front yard (?) in Maryland... now I know what my mom was talking about!


Gorgeous day lily...... oooh  ahhhh......

Saturday! (REVISED! - was SUNDAY!!!) - Relax Day!



Saturday - in Newport - Great lunch!  My first time at the Crab Cooker in many many many years - if ever! Really nice, casual lunch -

Check it out -

Such a beautiful day at the beach - walked to lunch and back - so it was healthy too! 

If you look closely in this less-than-spectacular-quality photo... you can see an unbrella having a wonderful time floating away from it's owner!

Listened to some great music on the way back - at the American Legion Post 291 in Newport Beach.  

Speaking of music - if you like Rockabilly - some Johnny Cash-type stuff  - check out a local band -

The Hot Rod Trio - High Octane Rockabilly!   I have added their site to my links!  Check it out - several dates coming up - and usually - there's an awesome car show too!

AAaaaaaaahhhhhhh - Yin Yoga!

Did NOT KNOW just how un-flexible I had become....Yin Yoga will stretch you like you never knew you could be stretched!  Now - to drink lots of water to get those toxins out -

Linda - at YogaWorks..... will stretch you out! 

Namaste!

Tomorrow?  - Visit to Breathe in HB, maybe Harbor Freight - (that's for you Don!) - and.... just enjoying Newport Bay!

Cliche, but..... THANK GOODNESS IT'S FRIDAY!!!

And... on Friday, we must START our weekend!  Otherwise, it goes by too fast, and we think - "Wow, did I even HAVE a weekend at all???" - So - start with a wonderful meal!  for Dinner... with friends... perhaps Thai Food!  My favorite Thai Restaurant in O.C. is "Diho Siam".  There are 2 I know of, at least - one in Mission Viejo, and one in Costa Mesa - both of which are adjacent to YogaWorks - where I trained, and practice and wish I could LIVE!  I'd be set!  Yoga and Thai food!

Anyway - Start with that great meal that you neither prepared, nor have to clean-up-after, then, start planning how to have NO PLANS for the weekend!  At least, at some point.. plan to do NADA!

That's  it!

Until tomorrow!  A Demain!
