A Trip to the Beach

at by

I went to the beach for a little while today. I thought you might want to come along…


Beautiful day, a little cloud cover, temperature around 70 degrees. Since my day off is on Monday, I am able to visit the beach without all the crowds.

I love sea gulls ~ I could spend all day watching them.

Doesn’t this gull look elegant?

Isn’t this one cute?

I love to visit the tidepools.

There’s lots of activity with all sorts of little creatures running around.

I hope you enjoyed this brief visit to the beach. I feel very relaxed from that ocean breeze….

Announcing – The Giveaway Winner!

I printed out all the names of the commenters, folded them up, put them in a bowl, closed my eyes and ta da! – the lovely Tam of The Gypsy’s Corner is the winner of the giveaway. Congratulations, Tam! I will be emailing you to get your address, so that I may send these goodies off to you. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed choosing them.


Today I have to attend another rehearsal which is a run-through of The Greeks. This is the MFA student production which opens in less than a week. The next several days will be all about watching dress rehearsals, tech rehearsals, taking notes and hopefully, giving confidence to these wonderful young actors. They are a lovely group, I must say, and I am so glad that I have had the pleasure of getting to know them.

Rehearsal will end just in time to get home and watch the Oscars. I have, I am ashamed to say, seen exactly none of the movies nominated. None. My husband and I don’t like to go to the movie theater because people are too noisy, and it costs so much! We usually wait until they come out on DVD or are on pay-per-view. I did want to go to the theater and see “Slumdog Millionaire”, but never got around to it. Ah well. Nevertheless, I love the glitz and the glamour of the ceremony and will be eating popcorn while glued to the tube. I forgot that the ceremony is live here in California so that means a 5:30 pm start time. Funny the things you forget when you’ve been away for several years!

Have a great Sunday!

Reminder

Just a reminder about the Giveaway! I’ve decided to extend the deadline to Saturday at Midnight (California time) for those of you who don’t have a chance to catch up on blogs until the weekend.

Life here has been busy…lots of rehearsals to attend and classes to teach. I am going to try to get up to the Barn Sale at La Maison Rustique in Temecula. It runs today and tomorrow. However, it may be more than I can fit in my schedule. I am also trying to fight off some dreaded bug, which takes a lot of energy! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. I will post the winner of the drawing on Sunday.
