I am finding that after big days (yesterday), 

I need a slower day to catch up. Do you do that?

TMI alert

I slept in, then did laundry and watched some a bb game.

Had OJ and a banana for breakfast, 

so by 2 pm, I was ready to eat the couch!

I usually eat simply, but I have been craving a cheeseburger!

By 2:30 I was driving to ...

ceiling at Rock and Brew

A fun place with colorful decor and good food, I ordered take out.

(not my order)

My cheeseburger came with my weakness, yummy potato salad!

While it was prepared, I took some photos outside.

The above was the left side of the sky and below the right.

I couldn't get it all in one shot. They say rain is coming.

And I took this on their patio. 

I'm not a Springsteen fan, but a fan of this poster.

At near midnight I'm still full! 

Just because ...

Two days, three grocery stores before I found the last 3 cans ...

at $3.99. Last year they were $4.98. 

Outrageous but unavoidable.

I went to buy 8 cans, but 3 was it. 

 

 

I told WonderWoman my plight, and she found 5 cans on sale!  

 

So I have all I need for my holiday baking.

We call it Peach Crap, a terrible name for such a good dessert.

I will take it out of the oven, and be ready to take to 

Thanksgiving dinner Thursday with the Superheroes.

 

 

So much to be thankful for.

 

 

 

The Story of Peach Crap.

Years & years ago I was complaining to WW's Dad ...

that I had to make ""peach crap" to take to an event.

The very young WW overheard & said ...

"peach crap? What's peach crap?"

I tried to correct my error, but the name stuck!

If the term offends you, I do apologize.

The Grandhunks love it & friends all use that name.

And now you know the story. TMI?

The lighting of the Bay

Kick off the season at Newport Dunes with train rides, crafts, a tree lot, and live entertainment before Santa flips the switch to light more than 50-holiday trees and decorations.

I've been alive a long time, and am fairly current, but when I heard 

a announcement on tv about the pop-up storm, I thought, really? 

Yesterday we had rain, thunder, hale and Compton got snow.

Today's rain being unscheduled was termed a pop-up!

But somehow, here in Tustin ...

we seem to be in a safe pocket, we get rain, but less & often it 

separates and pulls to the north and south and goes around us.

I love the rain.

Embarrassed to say I still have totals to round up for taxes.
I keep getting (maybe gladly) distracted?

Today I found a canvas, and played a little bit.

We have had a lot of rain here in SoCal. 

In fact it is raining as I write this. We really need it.

Superman gave me a pass for the toll road that 

I take to go over to their house on the hill. 

It cuts through the mountains without a house in sight. 

With all the rain, the hills have turned from brown to green.

Last time I noticed a vibrant patch of orange in the distance.

I love California Poppies!

Eschscholzia californica is a species of flowering plant 

in the Papaveraceae family, native to the United States & Mexico. 

It is an ornamental plant flowering in summer, with showy 

cup-shaped flowers in brilliant shades of red, orange and yellow. 

It is also used as food or a garnish.

April 6 is designated as California Poppy Day, 

so I'm just giving you advanced notice.
