My Uncle Reinhold gave me a really fun book a few years ago for Christmas, a collection of photographs of found faces. Let me tell you, it's addicting! It makes a great present! Faces
Here are some that I have found:





Also, fun to leave anonymously at coworkers desks!

Some friends started a wine label a few years ago, and this past weekend I had the pleasure of tasting their wines for the first time. The tasting party was held at the grower's estate in Escondido, and we walked through the vineyards, stopping along the path to try one wine at a time. Such a great event, and such great wine after all of the anticipation! I highly recommend future Blue Door events. Thanks Marc and Charlie! The Blue Door Winery

OK so maybe I have not traveled here yet, but it is my current weekend getaway fantasy! So close to San Diego, yet so far away from my current "save money" routine. Though I have heard it is reasonably priced. Hmmmm......

Well considering I have been here the past three consecutive weekends since my first trip and brought four different friends here, I feel compelled to climb the rooftops to proclaim my crush on Cafe Bassam in Banker's Hill. I find myself daydreaming about the place, wondering what it's doing right now and if the magic will be the same the next time I see it. The Chai Latte is my favorite, and the people watching is almost as good as the airport. Not to mention all of the gorgeous antiques! Check it out but don't steal it away from me!

And so the glorious Cat Stevens' Greatest Hits album seems the perfect one to start out with. Have a listen: Cat Stevens Greatest Hits It'll make you want to run around in the sunshine and promote world peace, after a quick nap.
