Once in awhile-now and again-this is us

we’re getting ready for another trip. this time in the coach. we’ll be going to reno with some stops in between.

but until then, here’s some pictures of our own neighborhood’s, California heights home tour. they have been doing this for 15 years now. it was every year, but now it’s every other year. our neighbor’s frank and linda walked with us this year.

this was the first house. only a block away from us.

some of you might notice the arcosanti bell on the entrance. I knew I was going to like this house. we actually see these neighbors walks their two dogs and one cat, yes a cat, on our block.

the front patio off of the kitchen.

the back yard

I loved what they did with rocks in the patio.

and I saved the best for last. the pink kitchen. not very big but oh so cute.

here’s a few odds and ends from the rest of the tour.

they encourage you to ride your bike.

us with frank and linda

this little boy looked so much like ron howard as opie. I gave him a dollar after I took this picture. he was pretty happy.

ok Sharon and ted. we walked by a house with a cat in the window. I can’t seem to resist taking a picture of a cat. especially when it was posing for me. I raised my camera to take a picture and it was on the wrong setting and I was shooting into the sun on top of that. I tried to get the proper setting and it just wouldn’t get focused. I finally just shot blindly at the window hoping I was going to get the cat. this is what I got. can you explain this?

the cat is on that table, in front of the window, inside the house.
