random tuesday . . .

It was the kind of week where a guinea pig invaded the house . . .
. . . because I am a grandma and babysitting guinea pigs goes with with the territory. 

It was the kind of week where having a blast just seemed like a good idea!

It was the kind of week that makes me believe in monsters . . .
. . .  doodle monsters anyway.  :)

It was the kind of week . . . where we found out that the end of Deuce's tail was damaged more than we realized
and he now has a whole new look.

Adopting a kitten . . . . $25

Getting the kitten's tail fixed . . . . $125 

His new look . . . . priceless

(The vet had to cut off a piece of bone from the end of his tail that was preventing it from healing properly  - then stitch it up.  We are hoping it heals this time - or he may have to have part of his tail amputated.  

Hope you had a happy Tuesday!

Make tomorrow a great day!

enjoyed the weekend . . .

This weekend brought back over 100 degree temperatures.  Getting in the car and seeing the temperature read 122 degrees sort of made me want to just go back in the house, but since I really don't mind the heat . . . we did some fun shopping on Saturday (Halloween stuff is starting to show up in the stores), went to lunch, and enjoyed some reggae music.  

The weekend also included some work, some silly Charlotte, and some much needed rest.

freedom and wonder of the weekend

road trips are fun . . . .

always taking pictures . . .

I think I mentioned that I like to take pictures when we are out wandering.  

So many fun things wherever you go . . . 

I couldn't help but think of the bookstore in "The Never Ending Story" when I walked past this store.  We would have gone in, but it wasn't open yet and we didn't walk back the same way.  Next time I get to Monterey . . . I need to visit this store.  

PEACE ~ LOVE ~ BEER

I am with Richard (aka - Steve) . . . so of course we have to visit a local brewery.

Alvarado Street Brewery . . . their beer was great!

This one was called "The Best Part of Waking Up" . . . 

. . . my kind of beer - so dark you can't read what is on the glass.  

It was one of the best stout's that I have tasted.

more wandering . . .

I was having trouble working with Blogger on my iPad . . . Not sure what I was doing wrong, but I can finally post with a little less trouble.  I love taking pictures . . . and I love taking pictures when we are out of town even more.  We haven't been to Monterey in quite some time . . . so we simply parked and then wandered . . . and had a great time on Cannery Row.  I do believe Zoltar predicted it is going to be a good trip.  

Happy Friday!

I am always talking about "finding joy in the small stuff" . . . 

. . . such as a hat on the man that you love that simply makes you smile.

(Where did this hat come from?)

Happy Friday!  

. . . it's just cool

It wasn't the best day for a car show yesterday - with rain threatening . . . and unfortunately there weren't nearly as many cars as there usually is, but it was fun just the same.  I seem to like the old rusty trucks that aren't finished yet . . . and that turquoise woody.  

I think I just like to go for all the colors and to see what I can see . . . 

No matter where you go . . . there is always so much good stuff to see!
