Christmas Eve at the beach!

Good Morning & Merry Christmas Eve from the sands of Santa Monica Pier! 

This is a first for me. 

Upon waking up on this bright and sunny morning {per usual & am still getting use to it!} I decided to load up my mountain bike on the back of my car and cruise on down to the beaches of Santa Monica. What a sight to see. Here, I've captured a shot off the bike path from my iPhone! Reminds me, sort of, from the opening scene of the hit 1980's t.v. show 'Three's Company!' 

It was a beautiful day and have loads to be grateful for. Later on this evening, I'm going to visit with my college roommate & her hubby, both I've known from Wayne State University, and their very sweet 2-year-old daughter.

My first ever Pasadena Flea Market experience!

It's the Pasadena Flea Market!!! It happens on the 2nd Sunday of every month and was told by some local friends here in California that is it THE place to find all the fun and quirky stuff that you cannot find anywhere else. I've arrived and took this shot with my iPhone. I'm in for a whirlwind.....parking was crazy and its only 8:35 AM. Here I go......

Good Morning Hollywood!

I MADE IT TO HOLLYWOOD!!!!

Here's a quick shot that I took my first morning, from my iPhone, from my place in Hollywood. A palm tree, can you believe it?!?

Cannot wait to see what's in store.....so much to do. But first, I'll count my blessings.
