Saturday Caturday: loving the camera?
So, Leena is apparently into my camera the way Caspian is into shoes. See? What Caspian does with my shoes, Leena has started doing with my camera. I first noticed it when I was sitting here writing for a previous day’s post, and I kept hearing a scraping noise behind me. It didn’t sound terribly…

California Friday: at the Living Coast Discovery Center
Last week I discovered a nature center type place that’s south of me, right on San Diego Bay, called the Living Coast Discovery Center. It’s connected to the National Wildlife Refuge and sounded really interesting, so my friend and I drove down to see what it had. We found out that this place has been…

Throwback Thursday: a slice of life in 1985
This week’s photo isn’t the best in terms of composition (you can’t even see my face), but I love that it gives you a glimpse into my two-year-old life, and triggered a lot of fun memories for me. I remember that carpet, and that the house got flooded and it had to be dried with…

Wildlife Wednesday: What are these ducks?
So this photo is from a couple of weeks ago when I went out for an afternoon at the lake with some friends. I’ve been encountering plenty of California wildlife that isn’t quite like the stuff I’ve seen other places, so I snapped this picture and saved it to blog about once I’d figured out…

Tuesday Zoosday: more from Saturday at the Safari Park
As I mentioned in my post from Saturday, I went to the Safari Park with friends that day, and I’ve got a few random photos to share. Mostly I noticed that they moved the zebra herd into a new (much easier to see) exhibit, and that the baby animals I saw last time I visited…

BEDA Day 2: California Friday
Day TWO! Friday is going to be California Friday this month where I tell you about something local that I’ve done recently. When my folks were here last month, my dad and I visited Old Town. I’ve been there a few times (my tea shop is there), but I always enjoy it, and usually…

BEDA Day 1: Throwback Thursday
Well, it’s August 1st, and I’m going to try something a little different. There are going to be THEMES for different days of the week. Think you can handle it? Thursday is going to be Throwback Thursday (you’re welcome, Internet) and you’ll get whatever old photos (and maybe associated memories) I can dig up. This…

Cupcakes for one?
I like cupcakes. When I have a long day, or when I want a small treat, or when I feel like baking, cupcakes almost always fit the bill. The problem is that most recipes yield two dozen of the things, and there is only one of me and I neither need nor want to eat…

A visit from the folks and hanging out at the Hotel del Coronado
In the last part of June, my folks came to visit. They stayed at the Hotel del Coronado, which is gorgeous, and I got to hang out there a little bit. It’s very FANCY. The Del opened in 1888 and has hosted almost all of the US Presidents since then. It’s got a room with…

The Del Mar Fair and a baseball game: stuff I did in June
June was such a ridiculously busy month that I didn’t get much time to actually post things. This still isn’t a real post, but it’s got some photos from a couple of things I did in June. Mid-June through early July is the Del Mar fair, also known as the San Diego County Fair. It’s…
