At the local crafting emporium…
Antique crazy quilt. Totally stunning in every way. Circa late 1880s. Just, wow.
Some lovely antique, hand-painted china.
The ever-popular Barrel of Buttons.
Beads, beads, BEADS!
The colors! The colors!
Official greeter.
Meanwhile, at the local library…
Self portrait in a library used book store.
The architecture is weird and wonderful.
They have one of those Chinese terra cotta warriors there.
Keeping an eye on things to make sure everyone is studying and learning.
Sights from a stroll on the pier…
Self-portrait of California girls at the beach in winter.
Smile yourself, Zoltar.
Waiting for the perfect wave. Which is pretty much all they ever do…wait. Even when the surf is good…they wait. Actual surfing doesn’t *really* seem to be their thing.
If you get a magnifying glass, you can just about make out the Newport Pier.
They complete me.
Pastries. Is there anything they can’t do?
Well?
This dog isn’t gonna walk herself, you know.
Crazy storm incoming!
Behold, a cumulonimbus!
Alfie’s dining companions…
Alfie will grab one of her little stuffed friends to accompany her while begging for a piece of whatever you’re eating. From L to R: Birdo the Christmas Cockatiel, Patty the Sasquatch, Lambie the Lamb, and Hermie Hermit Crab.
And it was supposed to be a dry winter…
…well, it’s not.
Those skaterkids and their stickers…
The only time I was ever on a skateboard, I ended up going down the driveway on my face. I was 4. I don’t skateboard, but one of my favorite eateries is located at a skate park.
