Memorial Day Weekend - Day 3.2

After the beach walk we enjoyed a glass of wine, and started to prep dinner using ingredients from the farmers market earlier in the day. I was in charge of the grill, Marc handled everything else in the kitchen.  The ladies continued the marathon rummy something-or-other.

Going where the weather suits my clothes...

Surf's up; a perfect couple - note the old school long board.

Still Rummying...

Before.

During.

Avec sauce, chez Marc.

Wok stir fry veggies.

Hard to describe, but a cool weather vane.

A wave on waves.

A glass, with a view.

Wonder what they were discussing?

Evening stroll along the shore.

Have I mentioned Rummikub?

Ahhhhh.   Finally.

Indulge me.

We are not quite sure why, but on the cliff is this piece of wood and hand saw.

Someone put Bernice in the microwave.  Re-heat or Time Cook?

Chow time.  Delicious.

Louise Dessert.

Could not get the camera to work properly, but this was a beautiful moon-set.

Off to bed late - sure to sleep in Monday.

Memorial Day Weekend - Day 3.1

Made it down to the sand with Marc.  Earlier, there was fun on the patio with a some bluebirds.  Ladies enjoyed feeding them.  They offered a couple of Cheese Puffs (regular, not crunchy) but since the bag was running low, they stopped.  They apparently made a deal with one to deliver a Puff to London for Carolyn.  Who knew the Brits don't do Cheese Puff's?  Their loss.
Anyway, a few shots of the beach, water, a bird, etc. 

London, here I come!  Can't wait to see Bennett, Hugh & Carolyn.

SoCal

Be Careful!!

Water Temp, 65f; Lifeguard? You are welcome, lady readers.

Three men and a surfboard?

Marc Raymond, oeniphile.

Three Ladies and a cliff.  Lifeguards and naked men remove the fear of height from Bernice :)

Life's a beach

Barely viewable moon that will brighten our night sky, allowing us to see the whitecaps on the surf.

Crashed after a hard day of surfing.

Looking South.

Where we are, although left on Neptune.

This really does not need a caption. 

Yep, a Grand Cru from the Right Bank of St. Emilion

Time for the next bottle.  I like long weekends ;)

Memorial Day Weekend - Day 3

Up early to another beautiful sunny morning.  No Naked Guy, but friendly Bluebirds. Bernice enjoyed feeding them breakfast bread.

There is a Farmers Market just across the train tracks, maybe one mile away.  Trouble is, the road that crosses the tracks is three miles away.  We discovered this too late, so Marc and I double back to the house to pick up the car.

Back on track, we head over to the Market.  Parking is limited, but thanks to Marc's, um, driving skills (?), we manage to find a spot.  And a close one at that. Seems the place to be on a Sunday afternoon in Encinitas (actually, the community is called Leucadia)  is to head to the farmers market and make it an afternoon.  Very nice and friendly.

Picked up a few items for tonight's meal. Fresh chicken, 'shrooms, butter lettuce and a few other goodies.  I suspect another great meal is ahead.  In the meantime, I am enjoying a lovely glass of Rose wine as I post these pictures.  Enjoy.

No guy next door, so Cathy found surfers...

Local boating club.

Little gems like this all over town.

He was a loud little guy.

Day in the park.

Hat shopping...

Like my new hat?

So many hats, so little time...

This food stand had a huge line, it must be good.  I settled for Belgian Fries.

Balloon man.

Mushroom man.

So, come here often??

Until next time.

Playtime anyone?

Sorry, no dogs allowed in Market.

That is it for now.  Off to check out the beach or take a nap.  Decisions, decisions...
