Happy St Patrick's Day

Happy St Patrick's Day to one and all. It doesn't feel much like St Paddy's in sunny, warm California, and I forgot to wear green. March 17 is also the date when my late maternal grandparents were married in 1925 -- 85 years ago. Crazy, but I can still remember their 50th wedding anniversary celebration and how much I hated the dress I had to wear -- guess that's why I spent that evening at my paternal grandparents home.

Hubby and I spent last weekend in Big Sur for his birthday and Ventana Inn was amazing. The suite was beautiful with a wood fireplace and an incredible ocean view. We did not want to leave and joked about staying until we maxed out the Amex card. It was wonderful being in the woods as it was so quiet...except for the heater, and the couple in a hot tub a few doors down. The only disappointment was the restaurant, so if we ever stay again we'll go out to Nepenthe for dinner.
