I just had to share this beautiful evening with you…

I’m just sitting outside reading and I looked up to see a blanket of fog! Just a minute ago it was sunny, it’s crazy how quickly it changes!!

Yo practica espaniol ..

Yo necesito practica leo espaniol con la libra de niño ! (Something like that?)

What magical Sunset!! I just had to share…

It’s official! We have been thoroughly fingerprinted!

It took several tries for me, I’m not as experienced as Scott at getting my fingerprints done!! Ja!Ja!Ja!!

Too Many Verbs!!

Today is gonna be one of those days when I feel like “one step forward, and one step backwards!” These “regular and Irregular” verbs are gonna KILL ME!! UGGGG! I think I can , I think I can, I think I can!!!! Trying to think positive ! Tomorrow will be better! “POCO A POCO”!

My new Wheels!! Let the off-Roading Begin!!!

Milquiburger!

Everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, has told us how delicious the fried chicken is here! Scott is sick today so I had to fend for myself, Yikes! The obvious solution was , yep, Milquiburger! It did not disappoint ! Poor Scott will have to try it another time. Which means I had my maiden voyage out all by myself. Until now we have been attached at the hip , so it was really good for me to go alone to the market to buy Scott some Chicken soup and some crackers for his sick tummy. Plus I got to drive the new truck for the first time. I only had one little snafooo when I tried to shift from 3rd to 4th, oops I got 2nd instead of 4th! Yikes! It’s been forever since I have driven a stick-shift. But I made it! Cheers!!

Midnight seems to be adjusting much better than Copper. Any noise at all and Copper runs for cover. Midnight is much more affectionate and social. Copper will most likely feel comfy just as we are ready to move to our new house. Poor guy…

Our first attempt at smoothies with our new blender! Banana orange peanut butter! Note to self, peel bananas BEFORE freezing them!

Heading down highway 5!

We’re on our way to deliver the kitty’s to the cargo department at Copa Airlines, just about 3 1/2 more hours in the car with two dazed and confused little cats. They still have a long day ahead of them, poor guys! 😒

YES!!!!

Sold!!

Scott put his truck on Craigslist this morning and Wham! Sold! just like that! Holy Moly that was easy! Now we are car-less, whoo hoo! But now we gotta get to the rental place to get some temporary wheels. I’m feelin’ mighty unencumbered with each passing day!! Big Smile! 🙂 Cheers!

Oh My Goodness! NINE more days of work!!

Spa Day!

We had a luxurious day at The Spa At Pebble Bech!! The Papaya body scrub was unbelievable! It’s so nice to spend the day with my sweet daughter ! Isn’t she adorable !! Sigh!

Wishing to be outside!

Poor kitty’s , they have no idea what they are in for!

Sailing in Santa Cruz

Sailing in Santa Cruz!

Springtime Stroll!

These are some of the things that make me smile while I stroll to work in the morning ….there’s the ‘porch’ kitty !

Let’s Celebrate! It’s time for the Next step, we’re ready now!

This is what happens when I have a NO-Show!

Cheers!!!

There goes the pool table!

A Rainy Day In California!

I Just LOVE Rainy days! Don’t You!

Valenversary Dinner!

Valentines happens to also be our Anniversary so, Valenversary it is! Scott managed to cook up a delightful lobster taco dinner with shrimp cocktail and of course I made my famous guacamole ! Topped off with a good bottle of wine and served up on the coffee table in front of the almost finished entertainment center and we were two happy customers! 13 years for us and boy do we have many many more adventurous years to look forward to. Cheers!

Happy Valentines Day To All!

Splurging on A rare treat !

FAST FOOD! I realize there will be plenty of opportunity to be bad in Panama but since we are throwing caution to the wind… What the Hay!!! It’s been a loooooong time since I’ve eaten at a fast food restaurant and I must admit, it was pretty yummy!! I know “Bad Holly!!!” I just Love being Bad, don’t you? Just once in awhile! Ok…. I just realized, in this picture you can see that Scott is eating a SALAD!! Lol! What a trader! I chose fries for my side and he ordered a SALAD!!! What??? I thought we were both BAD!! Well, the truth is out! …. Whatever ! Ha!Ha!

Goodwill, Here I Come!

Another load of goodies to donate! Each trip to the donation places and every item that goes with a friend lightens my load, literally. I think I may have one or two more truck loads to donate then we will be left with only the essentials. Whew! It feels soooooo GOOD!

Driving across the Golden Gate Bridge!

Heading out of town for my birthday weekend.

Having a No-Show!

Nothin’ like getting up at 6:00am to get ready to go to work only to be stood up! Damn! I could be sitting at home drinking my coffee! Not gonna miss this part of my job! Two hours to kill! Hmmmm!

Something I love in my salon!

This is a very special piece of artwork on the wall of the bathroom in my salon. It was hand painted by a dear man who was a family friend from my childhood . His name is Bob Mutzenburg, he is a very talented artist who specialized in custom pin-striping on cars as well as painting signage for businesses .When I was 16 he did something very special for me that always makes me smile when I think of it. I had this bright orange Chevy Vega Wagon that I loved, Bob showed up at my house and took my precious car without any explanation ! I was so confused and had no idea why he would do such a thing! After several hours Bob returned with my car, he had pin-striped it as a gift! It was beautiful and I was thrilled! So having a piece of Bob’s artwork in my salon to look at everyday has been a gift I have cherished !

Back To Work!

It’s a fresh new year and my first day back in the salon in 2013! I spent this morning ( from 7:00-12:00) emailing my clients their schedule for their hair appointments for this year😔. I’m scheduled to work until June 1. Seeing how few appointments each person has with me is quite a reality check ! YIKES! I’m REALLY doing this, huh? Yep! Looks like it! 😁 I can tell this is gonna be tough! There’s a pretty high probability that there are about to be many tears! I’ll get the Kleenex out😭😂😢😓😥😰😅

New Years Weekend in San Francisco ! Dinner and a play, The Book Of Mormon, too funny!!

<a

Crab Cakes are ready!! Lets eat!!

HAPPY HOLLYWEEN!

Pictures of Day Two in Cuenca

This is Dano, he’s a great tour-guide! Fireworks at the festival

They fill these paper balloon things with fire then just let them float off into the sky! The sky above the park is filled with these colorful things ! So cool!

Just a pretty tree in the park

Floating balloon!

A couple of them actually floated into the church!

Scott choosing some sweets…. Hard to decide, it all looked so yummy!

this is one of those structures that has the fireworks on it. They light it up and those pinwheels spin around!
