Out Of Synch

August 15, 2010

Yesterday, I awoke with a feeling of foreboding. Does that ever happen to any of y’all? Nothing seemed quite right. All I wanted to do was pull the covers over my head … but it was too dadgum hot to do that. Dreading the triple digit heat we expected, my husband told me to think [...]

Enraptured By Ecstasy

August 11, 2010

“Do you want to go see the sculpture of the giant naked woman?” my son asked. Bless his heart, he knows I have nekkid mannequins all over my house. Sure, I did! So, we got on a bus (thank goodness) to traverse San Francisco to the neighborhood called Hayes Valley. There she stood in all [...]

Like The Pied Piper

August 9, 2010

On the ninth floor of the Baldwin Hotel, near Union Square in San Francisco, I prepared to go to sleep for the night. However, when I walked near the window I heard a haunting melody. Someone was playing a saxophone outside. Like a child drawn to the music, I grabbed my camera to venture outside [...]

Assorted Photos

June 16, 2010

I’m just going to share some pictures with you today. It’s a disjointed collection from our trip last week. I always have the camera with me, and we snap pictures of odd things that catch our eyes. Most of them are ones that I will never use for a post, but I like them. Instead [...]

That’s Not Enough

June 15, 2010

When I am turned loose in the zoo that is his adopted city, my son thinks that I am the one who needs a keeper. Possibly he is right. I adore San Francisco. I can’t get enough of it, but my “country” ways don’t necessarily fit with life in The City. My learning curve, when [...]

BACON Camp? In San Francisco!

March 19, 2009

Did anybody win the lottery last night? Does anybody want to sponsor me? I NEED FUNDING NOW! Somebody help me out here. Nobody told me there is a “Bacon Camp” in San Francisco! As if I needed another reason to want to go to San Francisco! YES! And, it’s coming up this week, March 21st. [...]

Dreaded Vacation Pictures

December 20, 2007

Don’t y’all just hate it when you go to visit at someone’s house and they pull out the Dreaded Vacation Pictures? No they didn’t dread the vacation; YOU dread having to sit there with an artificial grin plastered on your face while they show you pictures that bore… you… to… tears. Well, the good thing [...]

San Francisco 101

December 19, 2007

Have y’all ever been to San Francisco? I believe I’ve told you that it’s just about my favorite place to visit. In fact, I want to live there. I will, just as soon as my Google ads start to pay off for me (or when I win the lottery—which will probably happen sooner!). We just [...]

Brush With Celebrity

November 18, 2007

Have y’all ever had a “brush with celebrity?” Were you excited when you did? Did you act like a moron? I’ve met some of my favorite singers, but no one that y’all would be too excited about. I did my best to act nonchalant when I met them, but I was sweaty palmed. Just meeting [...]

Wish You Were Here

October 19, 2007

All my bags weren’t packed, I wasn’t ready to go. But I had to get myself packed. Wednesday was a whirlwind of activity, as we prepared to travel to The City. That would be San Francisco. When I come to this vibrant place to visit my son, I feel like I’m in my element. I [...]

All Shook Up

February 10, 2007

I’m a worry wart, and I won’t apologize for it. It’s not my fault, I was born that way. It’s the San Andreas Fault. With an adult child living in San Francisco, I can find plenty to worry me. The City is a marvelous place, but any city has a dark side, too. I worry [...]

Zany Hotel in San Francisco

January 28, 2007

I realize that using the words “zany” and “San Francisco” in the same sentence may seem as if I am being redundant and repeating myself, also, too, as well. The City is a rather crazy place, which makes it my kind of town. We often book our airline flights and hotels on Travelocity. Last summer [...]
