Ella is 16!!!!

and her parents and I are passing the Subaru to her to drive.  Ella, Ryan and friend, Jariya flew to California yesterday and we squeezed in as much fun and food as we possibly could before they drove off to Denver.

First stop: In and Out
Who knew they opened at 10:30 am?  Ryan did.  No In and Out in Colorado


2nd stop: the beach- 2 of them
Big Corona
Then to Balboa Island:

Dad's original frozen banana
Well it had been a long time since any of us had eaten so
Cheesecake
This is definitely an Ella and NaNa thing but we welcomed Ryan and Jariya this time
It's really not about eating all the food you order.  It's the pure joy of ordering whatever you want.
shiny Forester
Time to put a little shine on the "new" car
Palmiers


Up early in time to make some Palmiers for the drive....Ooops!  They were all eaten at breakfast.....so off to the store to get puff pastry for another batch.

We left the animals home all day which is just what the chickens and goats like but Charlotte has been part of the farm only 7 days and she was a bit lonely without her people (She actually just slept all day) but once home she got plenty of love from her new friend.
Charlotte Ella
I love you Ella.  Please stay longer next time

Corona del Mar at sunset

The surf breaks at sunset, exactly 5:00 1/4/2009 in Corona del Mar, California. I lived in this little beach community for 20 years and still feel like it is home. Everyday I walked from my house down to the beach, along the sand, up the bluff and back home the long way. This is a beautiful spot on this earth.

Balboa Island from Corona del Mar bluffs

This photo was taken at the north end of Pacific in CdM, my old hood, It was a beautiful fall day with enough wind to entice the sailers to set sail. 80 degrees on October 18th at the beach. This must be heaven
