The character, Harry, gave me insights on what I didn't want out of life. I can't remember the whole story but I read it in my early twenties and it made a definite impact.
I think I'll re-read it again.
The whole series were great.

It's been a long time
The grounds at Justin Winery.
I've been so busy and it's looks like it's going to be that way for a little while longer. I've spent the last few months trying to design our new house. It's been going through a lot of changes but we're getting there. Our family went to the central coast for the Christmas Holidays. It was a great time. Wine tasting through Paso Robles, touring Hearst Castle and a couple of missions, and great deal of eating and drinking. I think gained 20 lbs. But it was worth it.

San Francisco treats
While both he kids are at camp...
My summer will begin with a trip to San Francisco with my husband. Wow! I’ve forgotten how much fun it is to spend time together. The city is as magical and fun as I remembered.
We landed and easily caught the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) directly into the city and our stop, the Powell/Market station were steps from our hotel. We stayed at The Palomar, it was wonderful. They have this fantastic wine hour every night. The wine they served were not bad, a Beaujolais from France and others all of them were delicious. I must confess that were had several. The location was supreme. We were centrally located near Union Square, Financial District and most of the best shopping you can imagine. We were also within walking distance to the Embarcadero, Chinatown, and North Beach. I highly recommend the hotel.
We went to SFMOMA, which had a special Frida Kahlo exhibition, it was nice but most the work was shown at the Contemporary Museum in La Jolla a few years ago and was in fact more impressive than this abbreviated show.
My all-time favorite time was our visit to de Young. They had an absolute divine exhibition of Chihuily works. I was awestruck by the sheer quantity and mass of the work.
and I was inspired by the Jane Hammond exhibition in one of the smaller museum galleries. I loved her use of paper and construction.
I can't forget to mention the food, I think my favorite meal was when we gathered ingredients for a lunch at the Ferry Building. We got fresh baked bread, the most delicious, creamiest gouda and handmade sausage sandwich. We ate sitting on a bench on the dock watching the ferry go by.

Las Vegas
My daughter and I went to Las Vegas after she got out of school and had a blast. But as the saying goes what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But imagine what kind of trouble can I really get into with a nine year old little girl. She definitely kept me sane. But we had fun in the sun – she was in the pool with her cousins and I was in the cabana reading. We also saw the world, Paris, St. Mark's Square, New York and best of the the other world, M&M. How did I know I was going to match the M&M.

Began in Paris
It’s been a long time since my last posting. I forgot how much time it takes to do anything.
Life has been mostly good and definitely busy. I’m been working on a series of paintings that I just installed at my friend’s office at Qualcomm. Some of the paintings have pieces of paper I started during my trip in Paris. I have another set of the series that I hope to include in a show downtown.
