berkeley

so today we went garage sale hopping and then antique store browsing in oakland and finally wound up strolling through berkeley. we meandered through bam (berkeley art museum) on the uc campus before we found our way down to Telegraph Ave. where ice cream and good used bookstores were waiting. i found this great glass bracelet from one of the street venders, but alas i didn't buy it. i might just have to return tomorrow and see if she is still there. we also visted this great cemetary with some of the coolest mauseleums that i have ever seen. I will have to post some pictures as soon as i have a bit of time. uncle dan wants to leave for a bit antique show tomorrow at 6:30, so I better get off to bed.
garage sale finds of the day:
great green and yellow retro print photo album and matching notebook $2
cool silver ring from mexico $10
purple and blue floral print pillowcase $1
silk scarf $1

San Fransico

Oh, so much to say....the trip was crazy. Anyway, it will have to wait until tomorrow. I think that my time is about to run out on this computer. I will post pictures, maybe as early as tomorrow. Here is a little taste for all of you who pine to know how I am...:)
went to the airport, plane tickets...not booked. :(
got off the plane, got luggage....it had been RUN OVER!
walking to car....lost it. (but at least there was a scenic shuttle ride through ALL of the parking lots!)
oh, yeah, and I still have bronchitis and that annoying bacterial eye infection!
oh well, i am in california after all, how can i complain! :)
ciao.

blah for bronchitis

so...i realize that i have been working a little bit to hard recently, but i was getting ready for vacation and i thought that i would be just fine for the duration...that however, appears not to be the case. i got a little sick last week when i came home from lamoni. thinking that it was just a little cold that i caught on the plane, i assumed that cold medicine would kick it by the time we got ready to leave this week...boy, oh, boy was a wrong. so today i decided to go to the doctor, and it appears that was a good decision, because i apparently have bronchitis, or at least the definate beginings of bronchitis. what a pain! here i come san francisco...just wait until i cough on you. and what a fantastic way to impress those grad school admissions people. how unfortunate. oh well, i suppose that it is about time for me to go to bed anyway. toodles.

another day in the park

well, i spent yet another day in the park painting little tiles. thank goodness the fountain opening is tomorrow and i won't have to do this again until next year. that is, if i am still here next year. i am going to san francisco next week to look around at some grad schools and hang out on the warf for awhile...which is good, i think i need a break. kat (by big boss) has come up with some great new project ideas at the foundation though. i'll have to fill you in on some of the later...i am tired now and must go to bed.

new blog for spring

here we go with a new blog for spring. ahh, how beautiful it is outside...i spent a good portion of the day painting tiles in the park for the uncle wilber fountain opening this saturday. what a great day to be outside. i'll post pictures next week after the event.
