"The Lunchbox" is FANTASTIC

This film is wonderful. The Lunchbox is Ritesh Batra's feature about a romance in Mumbai. Nimrat Kaar plays a neglected housewife and Irrfan Khan plays Mr. Fernandes a widowed office worker.  They communicate through handwritten letters and home-cooked meals. Do not miss this film. It is unforgettable.

The Green Vase

The Green Vase is a wonderful store in Arroyo Grande, Ca. Connie owns the store and she and her staff are helpful and friendly. Connie finds the most amazing treasures. I just wish I had a spot for this fascinating find. I had fun shooting Hasselblad pics.

happy mother's day

My mother was a great Mom. She is with me every day. I put together a vase of rose varieties that I planted in my garden the year she passed. The roses represent all the ladies in the family. The orange and yellow is my sister Deb. The darker pink is me. The peachy pink is my sister Anita. The baby pink is Mom. Every year they bloom on Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all the great mothers in the world.

Santal 33

        

Santal 33 by Le Labo is a powerful wonderful scent. Dan and I are wearing it today. This is unusual for us. To each his own when it comes to our parfums. I was pulled in by a sandalwood force at the initial spray. I spray my wrists and one side of my neck.  Dan sprays his parfum on the top center of his chest. As the day unfolds, I am smelling cedar and rose  and cardamon. Dan's early am smell is a flower incense woody smell.
Great parfum pic for both of us.

AGCC Farm

The Arroyo Grande Care Center Farm invited city officials to the center on Friday April 25. The staff and patients sported their farm shirts. The City of Arroyo Grande Officials were visiting the farm and viewing a video of what the AGCC Farm is all about. The patients at AGCC grow their own produce from wheel chair accessible planters. The produce is given to local seniors in need at the local farmers market. Kudos to Tammy our dietary manager for creating this unique pig watermelon display. I love kitchen art.

Une Fleur de Cassie

 

Dominique Ropion is the creator of Frederic Malle's Une Fleur de Cassie. I am wearing it today and I feel blessed. I has properties of mimosa absolute, jasmine, cassia, rose carnation, vanilla and sandalwood. The Frederic Malle parfums last throughout the day. This one is special.

Jo has an Eye for the Central Coast

My dear friend  Jo Genito has an amazing eye for photography. She lives in Los Osos, Ca. and a short walk from her home, takes her to the outstanding beauty of  picturesque Morro Bay.  She was born with a gift for those outdoor shots. I love her point of view. Her photos speak to me.
