Bodega Bay is So Picturesque

By -
We got away for a couple of days this week to visit dear friends in Bodega Bay, after a short, abortive stop at Wildflour Baker in Freestone, which was closed for the day. But we had a nice little wander around their lovely kitchen garden, so all was not lost!
It was SO windy the day we arrived, but next day was absolutely perfect. so we headed for the Birdwalk Coastal Access Trail. Just a stunning place.
On the home front, I have started a little Christmas project -- Gnomes! And here are the first four:

Eldest grandson Thomas graduated from San Francisco State University on Friday at Oracle Park...what a wondrous day. The last of our grandsons to graduate from uni...hooray! Ross and I started the day with a great walk along The Embarcadero to the Ferry Building, where we had a bite at the little Cambodian place there. It was a stunner of a day! Then in the late afternoon family gathered at MoMo's for early dinner and drinks with the graduate-to-be, his girlfriend, brothers, mom, dad & step-mom and Ross and I. Lots of hilarity and photos!

Chilly, breezy, and lots of speeches, but we made it, and the graduate was thrilled, as were we!

I just can't seem to get myself in gear. No energy, no motivation to get myself going. It's hard to think of all that's necessary to bring this project to fruition: choosing a zillion things like stoves, fridges, bathtubs, shower surrounds, tiles, colors, flooring, etc. ad nauseum, when you don't know which suppliers are good, what brands to choose, where the showrooms are. Sigh. I know it's silly, because it will all be worth it when we're finished, but I just can't seem to get into it this time around. We've built two houses before this project, and loved doing them both. I think once we finally get going I'll get my house mojo going again, but for now I feel a bit paralyzed. And...
