California Dreamin' Part 2

Here's another dream house on Balboa Island. Don't you love that gate? Let's go inside.

I love that little porthole window.

I think I could like living here!

I love the staircase. I might have to redecorate just a little since I like a more casual style. I do like this though.

Pretty Kitchen.

I'm not so sure about the red fan light.

I adore this vanity and the bowl. I really like the stylized waves.

Love the bed! Gorgeous Carpet!

Very nice office where I could blog. I might even do some art here, too.

Beautiful bathtub and shower.

Love this bed, too!

Pretty bath.

A little patio to relax on. I guess I'll have to win two lotteries!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I am so thankful for my family and my friends: Sharon, Mary Linda, Marie and Scott, Heather, Rick, Carolyn, Will, Eddie and Jennifer, Diana Y., and Sue B. I love you guys and girls!

California Dreamin' on Balboa Island

One of my dream houses on dreamy Balboa Island in Newport Beach. I have loved this island since I was a child. Wouldn't you love to come home to this? It'll be mine when I win the lottery!

Dream Kitchen. I love the white cabinets and glass doors. I might switch out the lighting fixture.

Love the storage and the island.

Of course I have to have a fireplace.

View to the front. Lots are tiny on the island. Oh well, there's always container gardening.

I love this staircase and the transoms.

Nice place for breakfast or a little book nook.

Pretty tiles in a bathroom and an oval tub.

It's all ready for me to move in. Do you think I'll win the money this week? Hope you enjoyed my sweet dream.

Hugs, Susan

Monday at the Movies: My Christmas Favorites

White Christmas is Caren's Favorite. Who does Christmas songs better than Bing?

This movie is worth seeing just for the English cottage (to die for).

Don't know what I did to put it in twice.

My favorite as a child.

So Funny and it reminds me of my childhood.

The best Christmas Carol movie.

Love this! Colin Firth...yum! yum!

Having Cary Grant as an angel visiting you...what could top that?

No matter how hectic and crazy Christmas gets at your house...it's not as crazy as this! I have to watch this each year.

Oh I love this but not for the prudish! Colin Firth again and Liam Neeson and that sexy French guy. ( I went blank on his name).

I have some more that I love and this list is not in order. All of these are great, though!

Hugs, Susan

P.S. Last night at the Village Inn was so much fun! I actually made it there.

Weekend Fun

I'm going out on a limb and saying that I'm going to see "The Band" Sunday evening. I miss my guys. They are on Balboa Island at the Village Inn. It's always fun!

I couldn't resist this picture...the guys might kill me but I love meerkats!

Carolyn and I really enjoyed "On Golden Pond." The show was very well done and the actors really made it their own.

Have a great rest of the weekend! Hugs, Susan

On Golden Pond

Tomorrow Carolyn and I are going to see "On Golden Pond." It's being done by the Riverside Community Players. It sounds like it will be a good show.

I really shouldn't say I'm going to go somewhere because when I do...something always comes up. It's like a superstition of mine! I didn't go to Eddie's party last night even though I had every intention to drive out there. Oh well, life happens to change things sometimes.

Party Tonight!

Tonight is Eddie's CD Release Party at the Esmeralda in Indian Wells. If you are in the Palm Springs area, please come by. The band starts playing at 8:00. It'll be really fun! If you would like to hear Eddie's music, you can go to eddiereddick.com or to his myspace page.

Hope to see you there! Susan
