If you are ever in downtown Mountain View, CA or attending the Mt. View Art Festival and you are hungry may I recommend you visit the Grapevine restaurant on Castro Ave. Good food, good portions at a good price.

Today I planted a few flowers.

Flowers from my neighbor I decided up so I could have flowers in many rooms

Before and After Discovering Women's Suite

My Fluffy dog.

Here is a picture of me and I am wearing one of my moms necklaces. I got it last time I went to Tucson & visited my dad he gave it to me. The colors are so pretty and it goes with anything. I love it.

My new sheets from Macy's. What a great value we got.

Morgan & I went to Macy's today to look for drapes. They are only sold on line. After that we roamed around aimlessly for other needed items. Good ol' Macy's. We found sheets on sale for only $22.00. Sheets are so expensive usually. Not this time. We needed new ones and we got some for a great deal!

From the beaches of Florida to the mountains of Utah, my life continues to unfold and change like the seasons I have come to anticipate here in this high mountain valley. Summer comes to its close, and ahead lie the crisp days, cool nights, and undeniable promise of a warm Indian Summer. And as I relax in my beach chair behind my house on my very own sandy beach, (yes, I made a beach complete with sea grass a fire pit and a hot tub) I still feel the same sun warm my face as it did on the beach in South Florida. A chapter in my life has ended and a new one has begun. Time moves on. A canyon breeze drifts over my skin, and life is good.

Yesterday two Comcast repairmen came to my house to fix our dead phone. Hanging off of their utility belts were all of the test gear, test phones, clips, measuring stuff etc. They looked like they were heading to Afghanistan. What do they do? They called Comcast technical support on the telephone. That is exactly what I did yesterday and yes the phone technical support rectified the problem. The two Comcast repairmen’s value-add was zero. On Sunday I installed our new Modem/Router and Comcast invoiced me $50 for installation. I 100% installed it! Comcast wonders why everyone dislikes them, they earned it. ReBranding from Comcast to Xfinity will not help. They have earned our dislike for them.
