Week goes as follows, like clock-work
Sunday: Church & then take our chairs and bikes to the beach and watch the waves.
Monday: Our day off (Refer to weekend adventures below)
Tuesday: Wake up, go running. We always pass the fudge shop. The man inside is always rolling and stirring dough at 8 am. We wave at him and he waves at us. Clockwork. Then we shower and head to work. Usually the slow day at work. We have to work to get people into the store. I blow bubbles outside to lure in people and Josh is inside working some deals.
Night: Go to worldmark to present our store to a whole bunch of tourists. We then have to listen to the lavendar man and the wine vendor promoting his bottles with "girls and dice" on them. Things he can relate to.
Wednesday: Running and waving to fudge man. This is Farmers Market Day. I look forward to this day to get my fresh flowers and cherries!
Thursday: Running and wave to fudge man. Tamale Day. The local tamale comes in and sells us a half dozen tamales. I tried the " I don't have any money today" excuse and then he said that he accepted checks. I could not resist his offer. Therefore, we have more tamales.
Friday: Running and wave to fudge man. Bus Tour Day. The foreigners come into town which means that the communication barrier begins. The best story is Josh saying to a shopper (in an asian accent)
"Where are you from, Korea? "
To have them respond back by saying, "No I am from LA."
Saturday: Running and wave to fudge man. Busy Day and Strawberry Day. The local farmer comes in to sell us fresh strawberries. You cannot say no to his gentle face.
Go to Santa Barbara for dinner.
It has been nice to have a ground hogs day life. Very predictable and relaxing.
This is what we have been up to on the weekends:
Noqoui Falls Guess how you would say this? I will help you....

"Bevewee Hiws"We tried to follow the hollywood house tour bus around the streets. I think the tour guide and everyone on board caught on that a black fusion was following them. ha ha
The Americana Mall. Biggest Regret: Not buying that bubble machine.
You are looking at Universal Annual Pass Holders.
Pismo Beach. There was a shark attack there last week. You bet your bottom dollar I am getting in those waves next time we go.
Avila Beach. Our most favorite Beach to go to. It is ALWAYS sunny and just Beautiful!
Morro Bay.
Hearst's Castle
Fourth of July. Our first 4th of July Parade in Solvang. We dressed to the nines for the fourth. We were not going to cut any corners. Notice my vest. I literally had people yelling at me from the floats just LOVING the sequined wonder.
My Paint Job. GO USA!!!
Farmer's Market! (Refer to top: Wednesday)

This week's arrangement. I think it is my favorite, then again I always say that.
My parents came in this last weekend and we thought it would be fabulous to meet at the pier like a scene from a movie. Meeting up with your long lost love. So this was our meeting place.
My parents treated us to a lunch on the pier.
I think the best photo op is in a convertible.
The bikes. In the Hadsten House.
Three Muskateers.

We thought it would be funny to do a penguin pose. It actually turned out kind of cute.

Morro BaY!
Hearst's Castle. Thanks Patty for being our personal photographer and tour guide.
My favorite pool!
The Hadsten House for a delicious breakfast!
Reading memoirs left at Neverland Ranch.
The mission at Santa Barbara
It looks so easy when you watch everyone else do it. We literally had to pump ourselves up to get over the smallest incline. Legs were burning. We had to take a pit stop.
The Van.
I think that this has been my favorite night in Santa Barbara so far. It was 72 degrees. Gorgeous night, no wind. Just Josh, me and our beach chairs.
As Josh would say, " We are getting some really good California Babe tan lines"
