It was an absolutely gorgeous day in Oak Glen. We go there every year in September or October. I'm so glad the fires didn't do much damage there.

Breakfast at Cecilia's

Friday our "Girlfriends" meet up had breakfast at Cecilia's house. I had a wonderful time with some really friendly, fun women. Everyone brought something yummy to eat. I'm really loving meet ups!
Tomorrow our family is going to Oak Glen. The boy (he's 16) who set the fires around that area is in jail. All these fires are terrible and Oak Glen is a really lovely area of apple farms and a charming little town.
Hope you're having a great weekend!

The Meet Up Group at Magic Castle

Here's the group photo of our group at Magic Castle.

Magic Castle

This is part of the Meet up group that went to Magic Castle on Saturday night. Our group had 28 people. Magic Castle is a private club for Magicians. It is in a Victorian house in Hollywood. We had a tour of the place, dinner and of course fabulous magic shows. The magic was amazing...just unbelievable things were done! It was lots of fun!

Have a fabulous Monday!

This is how I felt yesterday!! I had such a busy weekend. I went to Oak Glen on Saturday with a Meetup group. Lots of fun! Then on Sunday I went to a Red Hat luncheon and fashion show in San Diego. When I got home I was so tired! I went to bed at about 7 o'clock!

I feel much better now...time to get to work. Well, after I look at some blogs!

Fashion Friday

I am in love with the color of this dress. This is something I would wear out to see my favorite band. Nice for going out to dinner.

Another cutie for dressing up. Love the collar...who knew collars could be sexy?

The button detail on this skirt makes it special. This is great for work. You can also get the matching jacket shown below.

Really nice work outfit.

I am loving this peplum jacket in tweed. I just wish it had a matching skirt.

Cute top with neckline detail. This comes in red also.

Gorgeous blue leather jacket with ruffle detail. Too cute!

These clothes are all from Jessica London.

Tomorrow I'm going to Oak Glen with a Meetup group. This is a pretty village surrounded by apple orchards so I'll take pictures.

Remember to fly your flag today to remember 9-ll.

Hugs, Susan

Getting Ready for Fall

I'm really in the mood for fall...now if the weather would cooperate! Atleast it's only in the nineties now.

I love these "Hilda" pin-ups. My dad used to tease my mom that she posed for them. Now it looks like I posed for them. I saw one on Kat's blog the other day and looked up a bunch more.

This afternoon I'm off to see Art of Sax at the Cerritos Sheraton. This is always lots of fun!

I finally found my birth certificate and got pictures done at Triple A so I can get a passport. Everyone keeps wondering where I'm going. I just want to have it in case I decide to go somewhere fun.

Have a great day and fly a flag to remember 9-ll.

Aquarium of the Pacific

Sunday I went to the Aquarium of the Pacific with some Meetup Friends. This is the Inland Empire Travel group. I'm in the black and white top. We checked out the Aquarium and had lunch at Bubba's Shrimp across the street. Nancy (in green) is our fearless leader and planning lots of trips for us to take. I really enjoyed the Aquarium esp. petting the sharks!

Have a great Holiday!
Hugs, Susan

Tonight the Band (Art of Sax) is at the Sheraton in Cerritos. It's lots of fun...so come out if you live in the area. They start playing at 6 pm. The music is fabulous! The buffet is yummy and under $10.00!

Last night Sharon and I went to Claremont to check out Mary Linda's jewelry at the festival. She is really making some beautiful jewelry! Most of my jewelry is from Mary or something I made myself.

Have a great day!
Hugs, Susan
