Vacation in Auburn, CA

So, it is July 22, and it's been a little bit since I have blogged.  I have so many more friends' sites to share but, I have been too busy - with work, (once again), home, and getting ready for a little get-a-way to beautiful Auburn, California - in Northern California.  Very special time  - it's my dad's 80th birthday - he is actually 65, I am POSITIVE!  There is no way he is 80 - but anyway -

We just saw a great little play put on by the Off-Broadstreet theater which is actually in Nevada City, CA.  This was preceded by a really good dinner at Friar Tuck's.  Y U M! 

The playhouse is very small - and the plays are all original - we saw It's All About Love - a musical comedy by John Driscoll.  Fantastic songs - and audience participation - as far as hootin' and hollerin' is not frowned upon!  All smiles at every table - just a great night for everyone! 

Really want to get to that adorable small town of Nevada City for a longer period of time - longer than dinner and a play - such a cute town.  Victorian bed and breakfasts all around - gas lamps line the streets - and perfect with the summer weather.... in winter it turns into a different kind of town  - with horse drawn carriages -

This darn work think keeps getting in the way of all of the places I want to visit and all of the people I want to see!  That's okay - I'll just chalk it up on my list... not the bucket list... the I'm doing this SOON list!

Till next post.......

au revoir et bon nuit ~

BOW-TOX? Only if they are the Cutest Little Bows You Ever Saw!!

You may not realize it, but you need cute little bows!!!! They are custom made by a gal who is near and dear to me.  She is not behind the Orange Curtain - but is in So Cal - and she is very creative.  LOOK!

Summer is HERE.... and so is the HEAT!

I don't know about you - but... my house is pretty hot. In the HEAT way... as well as the 'style' factor,

 I suppose.

A random shower any time of the day sounds FANTASTIC to me!

I've realized that I'm a little depressed because

just about a year ago, I was in this type of weather - yet - I was ELATED!!!!

Because... It was the Bahamas!

And... Mon, No Worries!

My significant other and I stayed in this ADORABLE house on Harbour Island, Eleuthera, Bahamas! It

actually has a name, as do all of the original colonial homes instead of house numbers -

Watercolor 

HOW cool is THAT!

This home was built in 1730 - ish..... in Dunmore Town - lots of history here!  And, the families who own it

have put a lot of TLC into this - and it is beautiful.  Tons of room - 2 families could have a wonderful time

here - or .... just you and your significant other... :)

CHECK out the website!

I took this photo myself along with many others, of course - this is the back yard patio - and you can see that

there is a spiral staircase that leads to a second large deck - full of loungy furniture - but then.... my favorite

part (aside from the outdoor shower which is what this whole thing was about anyway!) -

the Crows Nest! 

Check out this patio just beckoning for a GREAT DINNER OUTDOORS!!!!!!

I have been trying to make it seem as though I am there again..: 

1. Not turning on the a/c immediately when I get into the car 
2. Listening to Bob Marley  - more than usual
3. Trying to duplicate those awesome Rum Drinks....  - once again, more than usual
4. And..... today was the best yet... went to the pool after work , complete with goggles... and I think I was workin' my "Secret" Manifesting  ------ I seriously was ready to see FISH!

Hahahahahhaha -

I need a vacation..... in the Bahamas!!!!!

Here is the Crow's Nest!

Ahhhhhh.........
