Down by the beach...

...nests can be sunny yellow...

or sage green...

...maybe taupe....

...any shade or blue....

...even pink....

...or be totally covered on ivy!

But they all have one thing in common...
charm!

Just wanted to show you a little bit of our beach town today...

TGIF???

TGIF?????? I don't know this time!!! Tonight is "Formal Night" for San Clemente HS and I have one teenager attending. That means a day with lots of calls about the party bus, outfits, make up, hair, are you bringing a purse??.... That means a late night up worrying about her. Tonight we will be sitting on the couch watching the Lakers and a movie, with the cell phone next to us just waiting for the "Mom, we are back, can you please pick me up?" The moment when you realize you are breathing, again,... and that you better watch the movie, again,... because you have no idea what it's about...Our poor Parents, now we know!!!! ...

Anyway, today's free images are Retro Boys and Girls.

Have fun with them! I think that with some cropping, they can make cute Valentine's cards...Remember? February 14Th, Valentine's Day!

Have a great weekend and like many San Clemente Moms will say tonight: "Make good choices!" or my own favorite version, the one that I use, "Don't do anything stupid!!!"

Only in San Clemente....

Only in San Clemente, CA, you can enjoy a sunset like this on January....

And only in San Clemente, you can have a very large wooden plant stand chained and displayed outside your store, realize one morning that is missing, wonder how it can dissapear (so big, so heavy!),... only to have a very nice man come back a week later and pay for it....His wife wanted it for Christmas, he came by a couple of times, we were closed, the rest is history....

We wonder if he told his wife what he did...Soooo romantic!!!

If you've never been in San Clemente, come by and visit our Spanish Village by the Sea, it is worth the trip!!
