And things sure changed around here. Take these guys for example –
They weren’t there when we left, but they sure have exploded around the pond while we were gone. They have a fancy name that I can’t remember, are Iris, and they look cool, and apparently rain and sun makes them grow like weeds. I like ’em.
New camera does video, so I thought I’d try –
What do you think? I think the video is 10%, the rest is all about the sounds. Watch it again with your eyes closed and the sound turned up to 11…..
Yup, that’s better.
The yard is literally buzzing with activity –
Bees! They do love our Foxglove, which is good cause there’s plenty of it. As long as they’re not stinging me, let ’em have at it.
– something kept or given to be kept as a memento –
Freshly stolen acquired, from the 18th fairway at Pebble Beach, a little keepsake. Just a couple of divots that will someday be the basis for my entire front lawn. They’re being planted in the greenhouse as we speak.
So we made it home, the house is in one piece, three of the four cats are talking to us and the bags are unpacked. I’m tired. I think I need a vacation from my vacation. A full and detailed reports is to follow, if I get around to it. Good to see everyone;
Steve; Sorry we didn’t get a chance to hang out, but I’m glad you made it out for a bit of golf. What was the result of the game?
Dan and Julie; Thanks for letting us eat your food, drink your beer and generally make slobs of ourselves.
Bob; 1 word – It’s-It! Thank you.
Bernie; It was fabulous of you to facilitate the transaction of Fred. And THANKS for taking the Aussie to the aeroporto (I’d just about had enough of him at that point. What’s the big deal with the accent anyway?).
Fran; Get that wing in shape for next year!
Mom and Pop; See you guys in a few weeks. And Pop, that approach on 18 was a foot from being GLORIOUS!
Yates; Thank you. Enough said.
It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up –
Packed and heading North, the party is ending. The end of the this little vacation lies just around the curves of the Pacific Coastline from San Francisco through Oregon. Everyone feel free to join in on the chorus with Simon and Garfunkle; HO-OHME-WARD BOUND, I WISH I WAS….
For those of you paying attention, I missed yesterdays photo. Not for lack of taking photos, but for lack of ability to post them (Saturday was a long night). So, here’s today’s from yesterday –
I’ll catch up soon, I promise. But for now, enjoy the deer sitting on the fairways at Spanish Bay.
Great course –
Not great golfing.
Where are we now?
Mom, Pop – You get first guess.
More later. Like in a week or so.
Total strangers with Post-It notes have decided to dictate the day –
We’re down with that. So was this guy, as long as it involved a nap –
Then there was this guy who wanted nothing more than a bit to eat –
Important that someone is watching out, while the rest of us are eat/drink/sleep-ing our way through SF –
Got up this morning and went to the zoo. San Francisco has a nice zoo, but our’s in Seattle is better. Not very busy today, and the weather was perfect for taking photos –
The penguins were in proper attire –
The Australians were busy doing what they do best; Sitting around doing nothing, or beating each other up –
Lunched at the Cliff House and then it was off to the Conservatory of Flowers. Cool old place, full of, you not gonna believe this, FLOWERS! Crazy, cool, weird, unique, flowers –
Drove around and happened upon this cool looking bridge in the distance –
This deserves a closer look. Yup, good looking bridge. They ought to give a cool name, something catchy the tourists could remember. Looking North towards Marin –
Final stop, after a driving tour of The Presidio and Fort, The Palace of Fine Arts –
