Back to California


California is just a different world from Tennessee.

I saw some really cool things each time I have been out there. And I have seen some strange things. This outfit being one.

 
 
Or this place.....No, No, No....I do not own this...
Lol...
Sorry, had to throw that in.
 
 
Or the nuke plant up near LA...
Yep, it looks strange and my daughter in
law knows the guy that designed it...
 
Interesting.
 
 
 

Our mountains in Tennessee are green and lush and Southern California is not, it's more brown bush and dirt look. Not a lot of lush green trees growing on the Mt. tops. But, they are a lot of really different flowers I have not seen before.

Plus they have flowering bushes that grow between the opposite lanes of the highway.










 
 
 Bushes between lanes on interstate.

I will tell you what I love about the San Diego County area, those people love their dogs! I see dogs on the beach, and in the water with their owners. Now there is NO WAY my dog would get near the water! I have seen the dogs skateboarding with their owner and some even pulling their owner while he is on the skateboard. This time I saw a couple riding bikes and on the front of the ladies bike there was a medium sized dog in that basket. I saw a couple about to get on a motorcycle with their dog, a large dog but they had a crate on the back of the bike with a pillow cushion in it and there is where the doggie rode. They walk, they run, they shop, they go just about everywhere the owner goes. I love it. Big dogs, little dogs, dogs on a leash, in their arms, on bikes…..it is a amazing!

But my question, how does a young couple or any couple for that matter ever pay a home off? Wow….the prices out there blew me away. My home out there would go for a lot…..I mean a LOT more than I gave for it. Homes on the sides of hills, tops of mountains, in the city, out all by its self……they are everywhere. And beautiful, so beautiful.

 

 
 

 
And then there were the trees that bare fruit.
This is my son's in laws house. They have
two kinds of peach trees, plums and avocados.
Beautiful place.

 
Thanks for stopping in,
Pam

The Rest of Today

Image
After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after h...

Swollen Hand and Leipers Fork

Image
Wasp sting update~ I made an apt to go  to Fast Pace on Sunday, then canceled.  I wanted to give it one  more day. I did ice  off and on all day and  did Benadryl cream, Sunday night, swelling  is going down. This was Sunday  morning. This in is this  morning. Never been so happy to  see my ugly veins before! YAY L eipers Fork, TN. Cool little place about 30 mins from the house. I have been here, years ago but the other day, I wanted to get out, so I picked  Leiper's Fork.  Of course, since I love old  cars I had to stop and take pics of this one. Then off I went,  camera around my neck and ready for pics. This is one of the local  gallery.  Isn't that yellow door cute? Cool door with all the  details on it. I also love the old door knobs on these old doors. I thought this would  stand out in a pic as B&W. Again, the detail, down to  the very knob itself. This is a store in the mist of about ei...
