Pictures Of My Life


                               A beautiful Saturday drive through Malibu. Breathtaking.


                                               Ate at, Patricks Roadhouse in Santa Monica


                                 The food was amazing and so fresh. Fish Taco's



                             I truly loved the eclectic decor. I'm a sucker for windows and doors.


                                                                 I heart her! <3


                                             I made some yummy cocktails. Recipe soon.


                            Enjoyed a quiet evening outside playing scrabble listening to music.
                                                I'd say a it was a pretty perfect weekend.

    How beautiful! I love taking day trips to Malibu {I'm in Ventura, so it sounds like I'm a little bit farther away than you are...}.

    And quiet weekends are always a good thing. I would much rather sit at home with a yummy cocktail, playing scrabble with friends and family!

    Beautiful photos, Val! What a wonderful life you have there in CA! It's so much prettier there than it is in Nashua. I have told David over and over that I really think I should be living in CA. If it wasn't for the baby girl who turns 1 today, we might have gone there instead of NH. :)

    Thank you for sharing your world with us! Have a beautiful weekend! Candace

    I had a totally different image of Patrick's Roadhouse--I've driven past it a million times, and always thought it was just a bar. Fish tacos--yum!--will have to stop off there one day! Thanks!
