Some serious pollen pants on this girl...

Rudford's


Nothing like an old-fashioned diner and old-fashioned diner food! Yum!

This is Rudford's, which has been operating in San Diego since 1949.

(There used to be a really cool vintage bowling alley next door, but because everyone always has to ruin everything, it was torn down and some hideous and nondescript "luxury condos" replaced it.)

Tallulah-Palooza Friday








Just a dog, sitting in a chair...

After the Rains

After the torrential rains we had at the beginning of the week, this bit o'beetle washed out of the downspout. The color really is lovely, isn't it? It looks like an emerald in the rain...

A Windy Day

...apparently it was SO windy that it blew someone's size 34D DKNY bra right off them! This was lying in the middle of my street. Hmmm...

Love Trumps Hate


This balloon floated over our heads during the march on Saturday. Fitting...I DO believe love/respect/compassion will ultimately win the day.

'Twas an Amazing Day

















This is what democracy looks like...

Amazing to be in solidarity with 3 million like-minded souls around the globe.

Tallulah-Palooza Friday


Tallulah Mae is modeling my pink pussyhat (cat ears!), which I knitted to wear in tomorrow's Women's March. It doesn't look quite right on her, but that's only fitting. 'Cause she's a dog.

Tiny Beauty

Beauty can be found in the tiniest of spaces (in this case, a pit in the sidewalk).

Yellow Puffs

Delicate little acacia flowers. I love the scent--sort of a soapy smell.

Oishii Udon

Heaven in a bowl: delicious (oishii) udon from Chopstix...vegetable tempura to the left. I could eat this EVERY day and never tire of it.

Infinite Hope


We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope.

Betty Beer!


Because my sweet grandmother's name was Betty Maxine, I just had to try this beer (selected for me by B.): Betty IPA!

And it was delicious...

I love the reflection in my back window...

Rainy Day Stitching

A rainy morning spent doing some knitting (yes, it IS  a belated Christmas present--don't judge me, y'all) and watching "RuPaul's Drag Race" and "Project Runway Junior." Fun!

Wispy

Lovely wispy clouds--it almost looks like waves in the ocean (these are from yesterday as today was grey/misty/rainy).

Kiss Me




Look what Santa brought me: lovely luxurious cosmetics from Besame, whose products are made here in the U.S. and are patterned after vintage cosmetics. They are a special treat!

They're re-created a number of lipstick colors from various decades--this one is from 1946 (a lovely red!). And the powder, in that sweet compact!

(Besame [which is missing an accent] means "kiss me" in Spanish, in case you didn't know...)

Thanks, Santa (you know who you are!) ;)
