A day at the beach meet's Estate Sale and a BBQ !

          The guys were up and out and headed towards Palm Spring's early Saturday morning and since I rarely get the text from my good friend Micaela that usually leads us on a hike , estate sale , or some type of new adventure that is always new and exciting . I decided to take advantage and go to Malibu for a much needed beach break . I always come back inspired and wired with fresh ideas . It was not as warm as I expected so I walked around a bit checked out the latest in bohemian chic , satisfied my pallet with yummy fish taco's at Howdy's . I couldn't figure out why they are now serving up sushi with a Mexicali flavor when Nobu is right there . Then it dawned on me I was meaning to eat at the Fish Grill and forgot  . To late and it was pretty yummy anyway . Now that my stomach was no longer growling I headed straight for my beach fix  sat on my sarong and watched the many surfers enjoying riding the waves  .

         It was time to hit the hwy back home . I love the drive home as the view is gorgeous both way's . No traffic and all was clear for a smooth ride home . It was around 5:00 a rare time to find an Estate Sale that is open and still has stuff worth buying I was already in the hood .  It was like Micaela assigned the Estate Sale God's to stay open for Til . I even maneuvered my car into the front of the house . It was a nice surprise and while I love hitting a good sale with Micaela I couldn't resist this one she was with me in spirit for sure and she would loved this one  . A coincidence or synchronicity the guy running the Estate Sale was from Downey and a Warren graduate my High school rival from my Downey days . I did not leave this sale empty handed I bought 3 vintage albums , 3 vintage motocross magazines and 2 very cool hats . I left with smile happy for taking the leap after all this  is my journey I am on anyway .

            Stopped by Jan's on my way home a neighbor and good friend . Good friends love to feed me and who am I to argue . I must look hungry or something . You can't drink on an empty stomach and food goes well with a cold drink especially at a BBQ so I ate . Did I mention that Jan is good in the kitchen gotta love her Lemon Fig Jam  . Marries  well with crackers , Bree and a glass of red wine . Ya I am still dreaming about that last jar she made me . I must say  it was a nice evening with friends even though I admit I did crash the Rosser's BBQ . At least I got to see Jan and Dave's  grand baby who was not a happy camper but in good hands . Good food , good friends and now it was time to go home . Wow it was long day and boy was I ready to hit my head on a very comfy pillow but not before my much deserved cocktail ya you know the one I love on the rocks ... love always and Cheer's Til .
