Full Moon Rising

- Over the Atlantic - my first night back in RI in a while. Perfect
summer night.

My First Lobster Salad Back East

The first of many, according to my plans!  In the background you can
see sailboats docked- a sign of summer back home in RI.

Torrey Pines Cliffs

The fascinating geological wonders of the Torrey Pines cliffs. Note the fissures on the cliff face that will soon break away. That is why you only walk along the beach at low tide - to avoid the cliffs.

This is one happy cactus.

This is one happy cactus. One bloom is typical, but looks like I'll have a whole crown of blossoms!

My New Mode of Transportation

Here I am ... riding my "New Mode of Transportation" with Jackson looking on!

I was lucky enough to win these "wheels" at the recent Annual Coldwell Banker Golf Tournament "Silent Auction" which supports many of San Diego's local charities.
Yea! Me!

"LITTLE RICHARD" AS A CHILD....ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

This is unbelievable....he was only about 4 years old. For those of you that are old enough to remember him ........Little Richard!!! You have to see this! Watch how he uses his fists and elbows and doesn't even look at the keys when he sings! This is amazing to see... It's Richard Wayne Penniman (aka Little Richard) about fifteen years before "Tutti Frutti, Oh, Rudy...."A-whop bop-a-lu bop a-whop bam boom
Here is some very rare footage of "Little Richard" as a child, when he was just starting out in the music biz'... From a movie with Van Johnson ... http://www.wimp.com/oldschool

St. Anthony ... I'm A True Believer!

Recently I had the terrible feeling of having lost my day timer (aka bible).  I looked all around and couldn't find it.  A friend of mine gave me this prayer to help me find it. So I kept repeating it again and again.  Sure enough, it turned up!  I found it the next morning - safe and sound! 

It works on anything lost!!  You just keep repeating it. 

 

Here it is:

 

St. Anthony, St. Anthony,

Turn yourself around.

Something has been lost that now must be found.

Help me find my [whatever it is you lost] - in this case, my day timer.

 

About a week later my husband misplaced something at the office, and I told him to repeat this prayer.  Sure enough - this important document turned up!

 

Needless to say, I am now a true believer!
