I have never been truly sailing before. What an experience! Kate invite 30 of her friends for a day on the bay for her 26th birthday. Rick and I were among the crew that set sail from the Ramp in San Francisco on one of the hottest days of the year.

Smooth going out to Alcatraz...and then the sails went up and we were sailing! The boat started to lean like you see in a photo. Well, I guess I wasn't paying too much attention, I was wrapped up in my thoughts, the next thing I knew EVERYONE else was on the upside of the boat and I was hanging on for dear life!!! All I could do was laugh. I do have to admit I was very frieghtened but it was great fun!

My very first tomato EVER!!

This is my very first tomato EVER!!!! I know many of you have done this many, many times, but this is very exciting for me. My first EVER!!!! I know I won't be setting up any produce stands but it looks like I will have a few more soon.I will watch it and take care of it carefully. I must say I am a little afraid that Bentley is going to eat it, if he does I may be listing him on Ebay!

So sweet

It is the sweet small things that can make my day, like finding a special treasure like Julie Whitmore's Pottery. My friend Carol posted a photo of her adorable new cup. When I saw it I knew I had to own a piece or 10! So, I signed on to Etsy and there they were waiting for me to click on the purchase button. The next thing I know the mailman was delivering my very first piece. I am enchanted with Julie's whimsical painting, each piece a delight. Another one is on ot;s way to my home now. I can't wait for her to post more!!!
