The beach has been “restored”…
…so the sea no longer makes a gentle run-up to the shore. You go out there, and the breakers are right on you!
The view of the surfing is good though.
Perfect beach weather…

At the local craft emporium…
It’s the Disneyland of craft stores…
Plus they sell old school candy sticks and licorice button assortments. What else could you ask?
At the mall, before the movie…
Killing time by admiring the landscaping.
Why do I always show up way too early to these things?
A short side trip to San Juan Capistrano!
A lovely day spent in the company of the lovely ladies of my Bible study group. Train trip, lunch, and some wanderings. Excellent!
So green and superbloomy!
I kind of liked the WWI getup, but it’s hard to top the barefooted leg gaiters look.
You can almost hear them rustling in the breeze.
Treebeard!
Old Mr. Tree looks pretty good 220ish.
The way home…
Meanwhile, at the Japanese mall…
Consume the Kraken!
A pair of roly-poly fish heads for just a buck and change!
I somehow passed on the corn mayonnaise pastry.
I love the packaging on Japanese products.
Quien es mas macho? The Pretzel Kid or Pinocchio?
I’m a fan of your product, little Yakult elephant!
When I was out walking…
The answer, of course, is, “It’s your fault if something happens because no one will do anything about the wild predator coming over your wall to eat your pet.”
Beautiful succulents.
White irises.
Little free library with an excellent selection of kids books. I know this because I’ve donated quite a few.
Alfie, waiting for her friend Mr. Toes to come at her by sticking his feet under the fence. Judging from their size, this dog is as big as a Clydesdale.
Lovely geranium mix.
Alfie’s quite the rebel. And yes, I always pick up after her.
Kentucky Derby action!
Derby rose, just in time!
My Mage/Two Phil’s exacta, baby!
Deliver it all in ones, so I can make a big pile and roll in it!
Getting ready to dominate pub bingo once more…
I’ve already won the $100 grand prize, and have enough food coupons to eat there for at least a year. What new horizons are there?
Bingo night at the pub!
Winner winner shepherd’s pie dinner! I won some beer, a packet of microwave popcorn, and a DVD of the original Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! I’m the richest little girl in town!
And the sign said, “Let there be a fish fry!”
And there was a fish fry. And it was good.
