SLO Bubble Gum Alley

There is this famous, or should it be infamous, place in San Luis Obispo known as Bubble Gum Alley. If you want to take a short cut from one of the few parking lots in down town to Higuera Street, the main drag where everything happens, you go through this narrow passage.

It's gross and I sneak through without touching anything! Many a Cal Poly student plus tourists have left their mark. It started in the 60's and just keeps on coming.

No Money = No Gas = Go Home

Patsy dog was a good traveler...most of the time. But after having to stay behind while the humans got to go eat lunch, I think she had her own plan.  BAD dog!

On the Road Again...

We have been away from home for a few weeks. We had to deliver some paintings to Oregon and we took our time coming and going. Mount Shasta was already covered with snow. We visited several places that have been on our list for a long time.

The fall colors were spectacular and we had wonderful rain. Those rain drops sounded so nice. To us California people, rain is an event! We had a delightful relaxing trip and we are now happy to be home again.

"My Church is the Woods."

We are taking some much needed vacation time in the woods. It's been a while since we have taken time to do nothing, read, think. We should do this more often. It feels good.

Cruise

We took a family cruise a few weeks ago and had a lovely time with the kids and grand kids. Our ship is the big one in the background.

Birds and dolphins followed the ship. Seas were calm and the food was good.

The stewards left us friends each day. They were very cute. This one was made with two towels.

A good time was had by all and that makes me happy!
