Tag Archive for 'vintage'

We are so adventurous! My husband and I planned an extended weekend away to do nothing, but that is exactly what you want to be doing if you are going to Clearlake. We brought his guitar, a movie, knitting supplies (for the missing slipper!), reading material, and food. We stayed at a place – thank you, S’mom and Pop – that had a fully equipped kitchen and a barbecue grill on the patio, and a rec room for a bit of activity.

Highlights: banana pancakes for breakfast, watching 21 Up (from the Up series), Towering Inferno, and more episodes of Peter Gunn, playing the pinball machine in the rec room, antique shopping – where I found some vintage buttons and a two dollar Polaroid camera, eating a late lunch at Blue Wing, knitting the other slipper, marinating and grilling steak and zucchinis for dinner, listening to the sounds of my husband’s acoustic guitar playing, and togetherness time.

The buttons….

…a couple of really neat children’s books at the local used book store….

….and tickets from the local frightening grocery store. I apologize if I do offend, but the first thing we saw as we were walking toward the entrance was a transvestite. It was a nice welcome to the area! We named him “Classy Tony” (be sure to have a thick New York accent while saying it) – never mind, it is a Peter Gunn reference. Would anybody be able to tell me what the tickets are for?

Pollock painting? Not quite….and it will have to remain a mystery until Valentine’s Day. Your guesses are welcome. *grin*
