Some of the Crystal Cove cabins that can be rented for $180.00 a night (occupancy 4 to 7)!

Come along with me



I've always appreciated living near the ocean; in fact, I promised myself I'd never take it for granted. What a fun way to stay physically as well as mentally healthy!

A Walk on the Beach


What a BEAUTIFUL NIGHT in Laguna last night. Crystal Cove is my favorite place and little to I know until I delved into a most delightful book, "Crystal Cove Cottage - Islands in time on the California Coast" published by Chronicle Books, San Francisco. I didn't know Hollywood had discovered it as early as 1917! Film crews had built small thatched huts and trucked palm trees down from L.A. nurseries. The "huts" remained and became vacation rentals! It's now a State Park and one can rent the cottages, many of which are still being renovated.

The Moon and the Stars



Have you gone outside and looked at the night sky?? It's spectacular. I was surprised to learn Einstein used to lay in the grass and stargaze to brainstorm. I have so many happy memories of enjoying my mom's company and philosophy spending countless summer nights watching for shooting stars and comtemplating the grandness of the universe!

Vacations nourish the Soul

Hope you enjoy the slide show of Greece - one of two places (the other being Ireland) where people look you in the eye and truly "connect". "LIVE AND LET LIVE", say the Greeks. Maybe that's why they're so happy. They seem to be REALLY ALIVE.
