Everyone wants to be like me

Learning Spanish

Alan and I are learning Spanish this year with Rosetta Stone, a computer-based immersion program.  Instead of translating into English, you look at pictures and read/listen to the Spanish.  See if you can understand these examples.

La mujer es pequeña.

La mujer tiene un flor.

La mujer no maneja el carro.

Not from IKEA

All the blemishes are due to me.  And it is not done.  I did not have space to work on the doors and shelves until I moved these two parts into the living room.  It will be done very soon . . .

Pismo Beach Getaway

Married thirteen years and we still like to spend time together!  Some highlights include:

• Sunset on the pier
• Rosa's Cucina: veal Milanese, lasagna al forno
• Caramel Apples
• Saltwater Taffy: I was mesmerized by the machine that cuts and wraps it, and watched so long that the worker gave me a sample.  When fresh, the taffy is very soft and melts in your mouth.
• Old West Cinnamon Rolls
• A scenic drive up the coast to and from
• Shell Beach
• Time together; time away

Faces

What a beauty!
