Lantern!

Look at this incredible lantern Dean found at a sale. 45 bucks. He's going to wire it so it lights up. But even with the sunlight streaming through it, it's spectacular! Can't wait to see it at night when it's done. My patio is looking so great these days!

San Francisco

...here I come. My pal is getting married to a wonderful girl. I could not be happier. I fly out tomorrow. Back Sunday. Lots going on here, that's why I'm not driving. I hate flying, as you know. Here are some shots from my patio. My angel trumpet tree is in full bloom! Yes, that's Mary you see in the lower right on the first photo. I need all the flying help I can get, and she is one of the patron saints of air travelers. I'll have San Fran pix hopefully next week and maybe a final New Year's roundup and more recipes! That is, if the pilots know what they're doing....:)
