This Is 58

 I’ve decided San Diego is a fine place to grow old!  😆👨🏼‍🦳

A sunny, warm(ish) day, lunch at Brigantine with Pete and Solveig, a walk at the Cliffs, a nap and yin/yoga nidra with messages from friends and family sprinkled throughout the day.  

Who can complain?  Not I! 👍🏼









And the celebrating just kept going on into Tuesday when I went to pottery class in Fallbrook and was showered with cards, gifts, scones, banana bread and taken for lunch. 

And I was also bestowed an honorary California citizenship.  I mean, who could ask for more?  🤣😆What wonderful people.

Reflections On A Rainy Saturday In February

Today I am packing up to move back to Pete’s pool house after 4 weeks at the ocean condo.   It sure doesn’t suck to be me.  I’m at 36 yoga classes since I got here and 7 pottery classes and this month:  5 audiobooks, 5 watercolor classes, a glass class at Celeste’s, 1 watercolor art show in Fallbrook, a couple visits with Linda and Terry and countless walks along Sunset Cliffs, “highway poppies”,  kumquats, beautiful sunrises and sunsets.   

This has been a great month.  I do love it here.

Fused glass weekend workshop

Wow!  I got in touch with Patty Gray again and she did a 3 day workshop (4+ for me!) with 3 other people and it was awesome.  She knows so much!  I made 10 pieces and got to do some glass combing and learn how to use a sand blaster, a lap wheel (to do cold working) and No Dayz powder wafers.   


The weekend before I made a clock at Fallbrook Art Schhol with Susan Hirsch, so I am feeling pretty fortunate to have learned from these awesome instructors.  


I think I have Christmas gifts for a couple years now!  🤣🤪😀
