Weekend with Jamie





It's been an awesome time at the beach this year having our family and friends join us. It's so relaxing and nice to spend a slice of heaven and slow the pace of life down. I always look forward to the weekends with Jamie. This weekend it's just the two of us! We enjoyed a delicious dinner on the pier last night at the Fisherman. Every morning Jamie goes for his (I don't know how many miles)jog. He loves that part of the beach early in the morning.

We enjoyed a wonderul relaxing breakfast at the pier this morning(thank to a gift from Amy J) It was so beautiful. Thank you Amy!

Today our friends Al and Theresa have invited us to there home for a BBQ. We look forward to seeing them and spending time catching up.
We hope everyone is well.

Happy Summer to all,

PS. Everyone has asked the same question! How much is gas there? So Yes, it high, it's $4.20 for regular and the big red truck is always thirsty! But what's a girl to do but fill her up!

Lunch at the Beach Fire Grill




Today Andrea and I had lunch with our dear friend Theresa Nowak. Her and her wonderfull hubby Al live in Capistrano Beach just 15 minutes from where we are staying. We figured out how many years we've known each other and it's been over 30 years. Now that's a true friendship. They're friendship is the kind that we always pick up right where we left off.
They came to AZ. November of 2007 for Chris and Andrea's wedding. When Andrea was a baby she could'nt say Al's name so she called him ALL and he would just melt and loved holding her.
Al and Theresa thank you for being such wonderful friends. We miss you in Az but always look forward to spending time with you when we are in San Clemente.

A walk to remember!



Judi and I were walking on the beach when two guys asked us if we wanted to bring them some good luck fishing. Of course I said NO and Judi said sure. 20 minutes later Judi started yelling I caught something. Somethings pulling. The pictures tell the rest of the story. She caught a 4 foot shovel nose shark. Like I said a walk to remember.

California Girls!

A Slice Of Heaven!


We've arrived. Wow the most incrediable view was waiting for us from the balcony. That's where this picture was taken.

Lisa Palich drove with me and off went Thelma and Louise on their adventure to San Clemente! The RED truck was fully loaded (imagine that)!
Lisa isn't a shopper so I knew we would only be stopping at the outlets to tinkle but boy was I wrong we both managed to help the economy at the Coach store. LOL

Before I left on Mother's day to be exact my camera broke. So I came on vacation without my favorite thing. How will I ever post pictures on my blog or take pictures for my scrape books but then I remembered to use my iphone camera. So here goes a slide show of my first week here. Next week all the ULATE WOMEN(most of them that could get away) are coming to the beach. California watch out the Ulate women are coming! Oh yea Jamie flew in for the weekend and we are enjoying the weather and beach. Today we spent the day with our friends Theresa and Al that live here in Capistrano Beach. It's alway so good to see them. Oh Andrea and Ashley I found out that thee RYAN lives across the street from Theresa's nephews house. She cant' wait to take you there.
