Brithday tulips

Friend-for-life Jackie gave me an extravagant birthday bouquet of tulips; this is just some of them!  They are so beautiful, I have to share them with you.

Sailboat

My husband Dick and daughter Elyse took me to lunch Saturday for my (mumble)birthday at The Spinnaker Restaurant in Sausalito.  It is built out over the water and is glass on three sides so the views are spectacular.  Sailboats, kayakers, ferry boats, pelicans and other birds all pass in review, and in the distance there is Alcatraz on the left and San Francisco on the right.  And the food is very good!

Sunrise

One last photo from the Birthday Cruise - a sunrise. Again, no fiddling with the picture, except to lighten it a bit, since photos on this blog appear darkr than the original. After this we'll get back to other things.

Birthday people

On our third night on the cruise, we had the big birthday dinner for Dick and Celeste. And here they are, looking lovely in their candle tiaras. Celeste was kind enough to let me have this photo from her camera (have to give proper credit, you know!).

Foggy sailing

Our wonderful family birthday cruise last week was on the Sapphire Princess from Los Angeles to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas and back to LA. It was quite foggy as the ship sailed in the early evening on November 22 (Dick's 80th and Celeste's 50th birthday). Fog horns blared and the shore lights reflected eerily in the water.
