Italy!

Ahhh, the Italian Riviera. A "bar" on the sand, umbrellas and chairs for comfort. The water was so warm and the kids collected rocks. Yes, they came home with us too.
We had a terrific time with my wonderful friends. Irene and Gianna were so hospitable and made our stay so "Italian" and memorable. We stayed with them over looking the blue ocean and ate breakfast on the terrace every morning.

Day at the Beach

It is the begining of Easter Break and we drove along the beach.  It was a perfect day I must say.  We first stopped in Del Mar and found a great beach with low tide-perfect for finding shells and rocks of all sorts.    

Wild Tomatoes

We love to have tomatoes growing in our court yard.  This time they seemed to take forever to turn red ripe.  We waited and watched until they were ready to eat.  Denny my garden boy loves to eat them off the vine!  Here are some we collected and shortly after I made a yummy salad with them.
