About a week ago a box marked "Doll House Stuff" emerged from the attic my parents are cleaning out.
It is a collection that began with my older sister and me and was passed on and added to by our little sister,
a collection of our childhoods of sorts.

The items in the box are mismatched and silly from the "people" to the sizes and style of furniture. My sisters and I never saw Star Wars as children yet we have a very well loved Storm Trooper who mingled easily with the fireman, three Larry babies, a mermaid, Pokey and everyone else.

The mermaid is a favorite, as soon as I saw her I couldn't believe I had forgotten her. Thinking of doing some prints using these misfit toys who fit perfectly into our imaginations so many years ago.

Thank you Mom and Dad for keeping this box of treasures.

An afternoon enjoying San Diego. It is easy to take this city for granted since I have lived here most of my life, so today it was especially nice to have breakfast in Hillcrest, then watch gliders at the Gliderport and walk through the Salk Institute, which is beautiful all on its own.  I San Diego.

When I woke up this morning it was wet, chilly and the kind of day that makes you wish it was Sunday instead of Monday.

fresh berries for shortcakes, smoothies and maybe a pie this week

Finding all the good things tucked in my days makes the laundry and cat puke tiny in comparison...
and that is good because lately there has been a lot of puke.

Two sweet cuddly fluffy kittens came home with Mom today.

She had been keeping an eye on them at the Humane Society for weeks and today they were finally ready
to be adopted!

She hasn't decided on names yet for these cutie pie brothers who we want to eat right up.
Suggestions would be lovely...

Tulips from Holland growing in my garden...so happy to see this bloom today! These sweet petals that look as if they were penned by a woodland fairy are what happens when one isn't successful at growing lettuce and it just grows taller and taller, a beautiful surprise.
