Cannery Row

A stroll by the waterfront is not complete without a cup of joe in hand. A day filled with sunshine...

Happy Birthday Sydney!

What brought us back together again-- Sydney's birthday! I don't think we can top this weekend celebration. What a treat... This restaurant is housed at The Inn in Spanish Bay with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. Izzy and I had so much fun planning Syd's gift as well as creating her cake. Thanks to the wonderful staff at Roy's, everything was carefully planned and executed. Cheers to Syd for many more happy and blessed years ahead!

Sydney's Surprise Birthday Cake

Sydney surprised by her birthday cake but more shocked that her age was written in icing! Good thing we opted not to say it in candles! LOL! Seriously, I hope I grow old gracefully and beautiful as my dear friend. She is not a day over 21!

A Few Goofy Moments

On the road again -

Just can't wait to get on the road again.

The life I love is making music with my friends

And I can't wait to get on the road again.

taking extra good care of billy's new beemer ride.

escaped from the tour!

could it be too much caffeine?

On the road again

Goin' places that I've never been

Seein' things that I may never see again

And I can't wait to get on the road again

super stars or super girls?

big cheese

the fun of being girls

On the road again-

Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway

We're the best of friends

Insisting that the world keep turning our way

bittersweet goodbye

and the innkeeper enters...

"is there someone in the bathroom (hiding!)?" lol!!!

And our way is on the road again. - Willie Nelson

Stars

"People have stars, but they aren't the same. For travelers, the stars are guides. For other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. And for still others, for scholars, they're problems. For my businessman, they were gold. But all those stars are silent stars. You, though, you'll have stars like nobody else."

"What do you mean?"

"When you look up at the sky at night, since I'll be living on one of them, since I'll be laughing on one of them, for you, it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. You'll have stars that can laugh!"

And he laughed again.

"And when you're consoled (everyone is eventually consoled), you'll be glad you've known me. You'll always be my friend. You'll feel like laughing with me. And you'll open your windows sometimes just for the fun of it... And your friends will be amazed to see you laughing while you're looking up at the sky. Then you'll tell them, 'Yes, it's the stars. They always make me laugh!"

Dear Sydney and Izzy:

I have but only to gaze upon the northwest night skies to be reunited with you--- my star sisters; that is a beautiful thing.

Love,
