sock circles
I have been traveling my b#*t off. (Strange because it’s still very visible back there!)
My patriotic man
A different port every week – and a different man in each port…
But last week’s traveling was for a fun, a two night mini-break to Santa Cruz with a girlfriend!
The super-hip Dream Inn in Santa Cruz!

I think I’ll call her Pucker.
I have to thank some sock maker somewhere for making such a great sock for me to play with. And I have to thank my dear friend for the GREAT trip!!!
Magenta with envy! Girl, u r having way too much fun! I love Harts!
I was too tired to look at everything – let’s go together next time! But they didn’t carry Maverick Quilts – poop.
Too cute, Alethea! Only someone truly creative would have come up with that! Wish I had tagged along to Santa Cruz!
Aw Shucks!
The fish toy is ADORE-able!! Wow! You really know how to travel in style girlfriend;) I’m so glad you took all those pictures and shared. That’s living babie!!!
Well, I had great company!
