I’d like to wish my sister a very Happy Birthday! Her birthday is actually Saturday and she is in Amsterdam until Monday. Love you, Meredith! Your little sheep are in the mail – finally.
I will be leaving Sunday around 1:00 in the afternoon. Sunday is the 4th, as you know, and that means it is the 16th anniversary of the day Don and I met. We met at the beach. Our friend, Kathy, had a 4th of July party every year – she lived in a charming cottage in Ocean Beach. Yes, Don and I literally saw fireworks the day we met! And four years later, on the same date, he asked me to marry him. My long flights, coupled with the time difference, mean I won’t land until close to midnight. I may just make it home on our anniversary.
I drove out to Vignettes one more time this week. Lori happened to be there for a short time (she is recovering from back surgery) and I was happy I had a chance to say goodbye. Here are some photos:
The bird cage and the fabulous zinc table in the next photo were found at an estate sale. Whoever owned these loved this shade of blue. So do I. Sigh.
Do you remember the photo of a wedding dress that was in my last post about Vignettes? Lori told me someone saw it on my blog and fell in love it. I’m not sure who it was, but she purchased it. That makes me happy.
Given my strong feelings about not being away from my home for another spring and my increasing distaste for the direction in which this theater is headed, I have a feeling I won’t be back to San Diego for a while. I’ll miss all of my friends. I’m so glad I was fortunate enough to spend time with you. I wish you only the best!
I’ll probably lay low for a few days when I first get home. After some cleaning and weeding and cuddles with my husband and dogs, I’ll be back.
I just realized that this is my 500th post!
