Neither one of us had seen Danielle
in decades so we were very excited!

What's the very first thing you do when
you haven't seen someone in a very long time?
Try on hats of course!

After lunch, we went to Danielle's
lovely home and met her sweet hubby Ricky!

The next day we went shopping in a cool
little town named Idyllwyld. We climbed up
a mountain on a switchback road to get there.
It was a very pretty drive and this is Idyllwyld!
What's the first thing you do in Idyllwyld?
Get photobombed of course!
This guy yelled, "Photobomb!"
and then rode into the pic.
We got a kick out of it!
Ready to shop!
There were lots of artsy little places.
I love these black & white checkered antlers.
Very cool!
Along the way.
Goofballs goofing around.
Look at the deep blue sky in this pic!
It was a most delightful day!
Another day,
Danielle, The Hostess with the Mostest,
had arranged for us to take an overnight
trip to San Juan Capistrano to see Jonny Lang.
What's the first thing you do when you arrive?
Act like tourists and take photos of course!
Somebody has got to hold that
surfboard on Mr. Beach Bound Elephant.
Might as well be me.
He matches this cool classic vehicle
that was on display at the hotel front.
Danielle's beautiful Aunt Duckie went with us.
She was a lot of fun!
Suzette and I both loved
Duckie and made a new friend!
The views from the room were gorgeous.
The pretty Pacific.
It was a gorgeous day.
During the concert.
Jonny Lang in action.
He was fabulous.
Great blues!

tank in the hotel lounge after the concert.
She was having a good time!
The day before leaving, Danielle took us to Temecula, another great little shopping town.
We ate lunch in a hip little joint.
I loved the light fixture!
We were happy that Duckie
joined us to eat and shop.
This turned out to be my favorite store.
But these were favorites too.
Oh heck, we enjoyed all
the shops and boutiques.
Adios Amigo.
An incredible view of the mountains at
the end of Danielle's street at sunset!
They're golden!

No sooner than we got there,
it was time to leave.

We had a fabulous visit!
Thank you Danielle and Ricky
for your hospitality!
We loved our trip!
Smiles,
