A trip to the Ocean...

I love this picture my husband took of the garden.

I love all the colors that he captured in the Mission's garden.

This Mission was amazing.

The Mass was beautiful.

If you get  a chance to go to San Luis Obispo,

don't miss seeing this Mission.

And definitely,

go to Mass.

You don't want to miss it.

We just happened to be there the day they were celebrating 

a Saint from Portugal.

The parade was straight out of the movie "The Godfather".

The men dressed in black suits carrying the statue of Mary.

The woman, girls and children all dressed up in 

elaborate gowns.

I am so glad I was there to see it.

The buildings were built in 1793.

The roses in the garden were amazing.

Morro Bay,

where we ate some great fish outside, overlooking the Bay.

The temperature was 62 degrees.

Burrrrr.

i'm back......

My chauffeur and I took a quick trip to the East side of Texas.

I've decided I do not want to live there.

Are you ready for this?

Too many trees...

Yep, I am an Arizona girl thru and thru...

I need the open country.

The trees grow like weeds in that part of the state. I much prefer

the area around Austin, Fredicksburg (love, love, love Fredricksburg) and

my favorite town in Texas,

Blanco.

Now that is a town I could live in.

Really laid back, and I could have my white house with a

white picket fence

(okay, back to reality)

I do love the heritage behind Texas.

And did I mention, I love the panhandle.

I could live there too.

This is just a random pic of a flag from Texas. But when I saw it,

it spoke volumes to me.

I guess that is why they call it the lonestar state.

On our last day there,

I made my chauffeur stop at a peach stand.

As I was carrying the box of peaches back to the truck,

I heard my chauffeur mumble something about

"a whole box!"

They made the best peach pies.

I'm Back,

Off on a road trip with my chauffeur.
