Popeye's

I keep seeing these ads on television about Popeye's.

The popcorn shrimp looked so delicious that we went down today...2nd street and Santa Clara and Dad dropped me off and I went in and ordered while he drove around the block.
When my order was ready the guy told me there was a parking lot behind the building. Oh Well...it was great to see downtown...has been a long time since we cruised around.

Spring is just around the corner

February 16, 2009

After the rain I begin to think of wildflowers and have a hankering to travel through California to see them....maybe to the Carrizo Plains, east of Bakersfield. Several years ago we set off to see them and the famous poppy fields in southern California. Too late we called and found out the blooms were poor that year. We have never tried the trip again but look at this picture often and even wallpaper my desktop with it.

Meanwhile here at home the Hardenbergia is in bloom and the daffodils are nodding their golden heads
