Not a coffee drinker but...

I'd heard that the newest Peet's was nice (it had previously been a Burger King). So I rode my bike over there once I got out of very frustrating meeting with well-meaning city officials.

The Peets was very nice. But the nicest part was this photo...



This gentleman, Sealli was crocheting, like a mad man with a grin as wide as his crochet needles!

Before I went and got my iced tea and a ginger cookie, I noticed that there were A's hats, and beanies, and then I saw the colors....blue, white, and gold! Woiryers! That the way grandson, Cadel, says it! 

Yes, he was working on a cap! I wondered if he would make one for C? Yep! He would be happy to do so!

I told him I had an appointment, and asked how long would he be there. He said at least another hour. That sealed the deal. I told him I'd be back within that time, and gave him my card.

Then when I got home, I thought, maybe he could do one for my son, too! I called him. Yep, he could. He'd get on it right away! Ev, your's is larger, and you can roll up the rim of Cadel's cap to it can fit better.



So Erin, let me know what you'd like...and Sutter and Sean...let me know what you'd like! 

Here's his info, if any of you want to have him make a custom item for you. His card says,

A dear friend shared this photo with me.  It's a good reminder that if I have something to say, think twice before saying it! Another friend said she and her husband (who have owned a business here in A-town) are hitting the road in a motor home! They are shutting down the biz. It's the same type of motor home, as some other friends! They will be traveling to Bryce Canyon and beyond. I started to laugh out loud as I remembered that my family (mom, dad, 3 younger brothers, and myself), piled into the station wagon and we were headed to Utah. We would be seeing Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park. Both are beautiful...but you look up to see the mountains @ Zion and you look down to see the huge valley @ Bryce. And if you're cynical, you might whine that it's just a bunch of rocks.  Knowing what I know now, I would never take any kids to either place. The drive is too long, and they would get bored and blah blah blah.  Shortly after that, we moved back to Newport Beach (fr

Follow me on my Alameda Real Estate blog ! Kind of like the eclipse (it seldom happens but it's astounding when it does), in the last 12 days I had my hair cut, a mani/pedi done, my teeth cleaned, and my face cleaned up. I don't even remember when these items last happened in such a short time period. I felt like a million bucks. And then I started thinking about how often does the first of the month happen to be on a Sunday? Turns out google knows via the TimeandDate.com website (which is kinda fascinating). And it's more often than I thought. Oct 1st will be the next time a Sunday is the first of the month. And then I started thinking about the autumnal equinox. I mean, who doesn't? Maybe the question should be 'What are you talking (thinking) about, Marilyn?' This is my favorite time of year....autumn, fall, the space between summer and winter. The light outdoors is so sharp during the fall, even though there's less of it. As a very rank amat
