It was a very lovely day today, and I am sleepy now so this post is entirely inadequate. 🙂
The birthday well-wishes started trickling into the email a day or two ago (mostly through Facebook, gosh I should really go onto Facebook more often….), and then today they POURED in. I like to answer all comments and messages, and I usually do, but this…this is…wow. 🙂 A lot. Fantastic. Overwhelming, in an entirely good way.
And I was away from the computer all day on Santa Catalina Island, with Mark.
It’s just gorgeous there–which I knew from the photos my mom showed me from when she and Stepdad went there a few years ago; but, yes, just lovely. And the weather was spectacular. It was foggy and grim as we waited for the ferry; started to clear up on the ride out (and we saw dolphins! Lots of them! Springing gleefully out of the water!), and cleared up entirely as we arrived at Avalon.
I love, love, love, love the tiles on Catalina.
This is an entirely lame photo, but I think you get the idea.
I bought some number-tiles, to put on my house, to replace the ugly numbers that are there. Which of course means I have to paint my house, because now the tiles will be so gorgeous that the house will look ugly.
Hahahaha. Well, someday.
Okay it is late and I am beyond sleepy. And up early tomorrow for a large round of visiting. There are just too many good people in the part of the world….what can one do?
