Today is a bright, sunny day, so I headed to one of San Clemente’s iconic spots: the pier bowl. San Clemente was founded in the 1920’s by a man named Ole Hanson who called the town the “Spanish Village by the Sea.” It is still the town’s theme with a Spanish-styled downtown and many recognized Historical…

What to do, see, wear on a rainy day
What to wear and do on a rainy day? Let’s face it: what to wear is something warm and comfortable. A turtleneck and jeans with sneakers? Perfect. This is my usual outfit for a day of relaxing when it’s cold and dreary outside. The turtleneck is a gray tweedy fabric from Talbots; jeggings are by…
Stylin’ at the Big A
Today’s post is all about my love of baseball–especially the Angels! (All of us in OC despise the ridiculous name they are currently required to go by–The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim–and will always think of them as the Anaheim Angels.) As I mentioned in an earlier post, I went to games the year that Angel…
Baseball Dress
Hello, my friends! What a glorious week of weather! Today, my photos were taken at Marblehead Trail at Sea Summit. We used to walk these bluffs, just above Coast Highway, with our dogs and my son and his friends would ride their bikes! It was really beautiful and wild. I have to say, though it…

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Hello my friends, This is my first post designated to my “Lifestyle” page. It is dedicated to Mary Tyler Moore, who I am sure you all know passed away last Wednesday at the age of 80. I grew up watching reruns from the Dick Van Dyke Show and never missed an episode of the Mary…
New Year’s Eve Casual
Good morning! I hope you are all “recovered” from the 2016-17 transition! As I mentioned in my previous post, we had a quiet dinner here. I made Mexican food and wore an Indian top! Very multi-cultural! I thought I would share our table settings. Since we have travelled frequently to Mexico and go to…
