The First Sunday of the Month...

-

Just happened to fall on April Fools Day so I almost expected The Alameda Point to be postponed a week in honor of what's not a national holiday but  widely recognized and celebrated as a day when people play practical jokes and hoaxes on each other.


But business is business and the show must go on plus I was looking for a way to take my mind off missing my boy and The Point is a great place to distract oneself.


We are dog sitting again and managed to sneak in our "little Lou" by disguising him in a Burka.


We also brought our friend, Dino, who had never been to The Alameda Point!


Dino is a garbage man and marveled at all the stuff he saw that he has thrown away over the years!


I am going to start selling here next month and Dino has agreed to help me so I was giving him a lay of the land and showing him what to expect besides great people watching and delicious food!





































































































Hard to believe it rained cats & dogs on Saturday but come Sunday it was magnificent!

So fitting for April Fools Day!

The dog is too precious! I was sick in bed yesterday, so thanks for sharing all these great shots of Alameda Point! At least I can feel I was there a bit! I had Dino as my garbageman when I lived on Clinton. He is a funny man! Did you buy the birdbath? It is awesome.

EUREKA!!

I found my bicycle! (my new old bicycle) The funny part is where I found it. Yesterday after finishing my post, " I'm longing for a new bicycle ," I was lamenting to my husband about how badly I wanted a bicycle of my own.  He looked at me and said, " but you have a bicycle."  (our vintage Colombia tandem beach cruiser) I said, "I know, I love the tandem but I would like my own bicycle."  He said, "You do have your own bicycle... remember you bought one at a garage sale late last summer?" The light bulb went off and the memories came flooding back!  All of a sudden I remembered the day I scored my awesome vintage bicycle at a garage sale on Briggs Avenue for $20!  I ran to the backyard where it had been covered up with a large brown tarp for the winter.  I squealed with delight at the sight of it!  I remembered when I bought it it had several small American flags attached to the front basket from being ridden in the 4th of July...

There is something about single beds... (Image via domino) I would love to sleep in a bunk bed again... if just for one night. I can just imagine the conversations that would take place in these rooms!   Summer memories are made here and here and here. Rooms with twin beds compel you to have a conversation before nodding off.   (Image via Pottery Barn Kids)   (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image courtesy of the desk of annie)   (Image via Beautiful Things to Share) (Cathy Kincaid)   Some more terrific twins...   (Image courtesy of gracie) (Image via Elle Decor)   (Image via HGTV) (Image via moodboard) (Image via Style Court) (Image via Just Beachy) Don't forget to enter my Giveaway!

Celebrating 28 years

28 years ago today I found my greatest treasure. Legends say that hummingbirds float free of time, carrying our hopes for love,  joy and celebration.  Like a hummingbird, we aspire to hover and savor each moment as it passes, embrace all that life has to offer and to celebrate the joy of everyday.  The hummingbird's delicate grace reminds us that life is rich, beauty is everywhere, every personal connection has meaning and that laughter is life's sweetest creation. Happy Anniversary Chris I love you madly!
