Hit’n the Street’s

Our first full day in San Francisco just happen to coincide with not one, not two but THREE major events. Unbeknownst to us we arrived in San Francisco along with EVERY OHTER PERSON ON THE PLANET !!!

We were just there for a simple vacation however everyone one else's was there to see Tiger Woods play in some PGA thing, the 49ers play the Falcons or the Blue Angels Air Show over San Francisco Bay. 

As we waited for the Blue Angles to perform the hub’s and I walked around Fisherman’s Warf.

We experienced a plethora of various street performers, balloon artists, spray paint artist, musicians, magicians', and several celebrity impersonators all graciously accepting donations to help support their unique lifestyles.

Not pictured in this 4 minute-ish video, the man dressed in a business suit made entirely of the comics section of the newspaper, shoes and all, a rather tall young man dressed in a rhinestone encrusted robot suit, a rather untalented Michael Jackson impersonator and contortionist trying to escape from a straight jacket while performing his stand up comedy/magic routine.

As we were walking back to our car I turn to my left and this is what I see!

Never underestimate the advertising draw of a skeleton bolted to the roof of a hearse I always say!

I was very impressed with the band from the air force or maybe that were navy I was not sure. The military was there in force accompanying the Blue Angels Air show. They were taking full advantage with recruiting tents from all branches of the military.

Join the military and be in a rock band!

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...
