Monday we took a drive over to show Baz's mom San Diego..We opted for the tour bus of La Jolla once we arrived for ease's sake...


Up to the war monument...


Loved the Rolls Royce that was parked outside of the La Valencia Hotel..


Which I took pictures inside as it was pretty...






They had a clam bake buffet on along with the typical live bad Jimmy Buffet singer, but we enjoyed it all...




Family waiting for a cab back to San Diego where we left the car...


The festival of sail was on this labor day weekend, so we walked around looking at all the tall ships...










We went on board to visit a couple of the submarines there and of course the first thing Bazza did was to drop down and look in the areas the tour did not go through!

Back home by early evening and a couple movies flaked out in the living room was on the agenda for the night...

My birthday is coming up sometime soon (although I no longer celebrate them!) My parents carried me down a present on the airplane...and let me open it early..


It was the original very ornate baptism certificate for my grandmother. Thanks parents, nice gift!


We have been out driving! Drives have been big on animals the last couple days...We saw a darn Buffalo! I was surprised...


Does our crow count as an animal?


The scruffiest little chickens I have ever seen at a swap meet back in the hills. I really thought I was in Mexico there...


Original for sale sign on the dog there. The other side had DOG spray painted on, just in case you were not sure what it was!


The Possums in Brisbane are much cuter then the one who was wandering around our back yard last night! This one looked like a very large rat...




Horse at the market..


If you are in the market for a boat this one is only $3000.00 to take it away...




And just because no blog entry should be complete without a food pictures...


Off to take the wrinklies over to San Diego and La Jolla for some sightseeing today. I am sure Bazza is thinking "oh joy, another fun family day in the car"

And apparently a busy week in the BVI with Necker Island going up in flames in Irene..


And the Tropical Sun grounding on the Rhone at Salt Island. No, the coconut telegraph has not given a reliable store on the circumstances yet! BUT it was floated off at high tide two nights ago by shifting weight from the fore to the aft and a couple tugs with no damage to the Rhone itself. It has now been given permission to go into Port Purcell and off load its cargo. Hope their weren't any fresh vegetables on there!!!


My dear friend Janice has been really championing a newish singer, and sat me down when she was on the boat to play some music for me. This gentleman is called Levi Lowrey. I think the type of music is called Southern Ground...

She went down to Atlanta on Monday to watch a benefit they had put on, and sent me this picture of her and Levi... (she really is cute..) After convincing me to also watch the benefit on StageIt, where you pay to be on line at the concert. It is a great idea, but the technology needs some work!


Here is a sample of the music, that he plays, I really do enjoy it...


This was one of the things we had brought home to California from the BVI that Bazza had to use some electrolysis to clean up to find out what it was. It is an old caulking tool for wooden ships hundreds of years ago. How he knows this crap I have no idea!


The deer in the back yard got a change from the flowers and bows mom and dad had put on..Something more fitting with our boat lifestyle!


My father is good at cleaning my windows and they are much cleaner now then when Bazza did them! Nice having live in "help" when the parents arrive for a visit


Dad took on the sorting job of all the coins, which is only fair, since it is for him I shuffle all my coins up from the Virgin islands for him to look at in case he needs anything for his coin collections...


I now have an extra $276.00 in my bank account...Woopie...


My moms face when I brought her home a new Iphone, (she had wanted a cel phone when they are down here in the states..) apparently ms internet will be really happy to have facebook..


Her face looks much better then mine did when I had to go to the dentist's this week and get my first ever crown..
