My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

I left my ♥-- the cold-- and my money-- in San Francisco

Union Square


seriously there was a t.v. in the middle of our hotel bathroom mirror!!



china town




an antique store that we bought a bronze statue called little red riding hood




sausalito




Golden gate bridge

fishermans wharf


mark picked me a flower


outdoor market








gorgeous flowers everywhere




floating restaurant















Yes!! we were freezing. We both bought the typical tourist windbreakers. Had a relaxing time, ate delicious food
saw fabulous sights
bought little treasures that will be great reminders of our trip together.
In spite of all the "good" that happened--there was a sobering cloud of "this is a bankrupt state!!!" Seriously everyone was offering good deals.
We love visiting San Francisco...But love our "Haven of Refuge" to come home to♥

Looks like you guys had a wonderful time, can you believe how cold it is here... ugh!

Those strawberries looked scruptious!

You are so cute :)

I have always wanted to go there. I now know why even more. I love all that you did. I will use this as a reference.

So glad you had the opportunity.

Fun! It's been awhile since we've been there.

And if my hubby sees that TV in the bathroom, he's going to want one for sure.

What a fabulous trip . I think I am headed to the fridge for some not so yummmy looking strawberries. Maybe I can fool myself into thinking they are as yummy as the ones at that market must be.

We went to China Town and Fishermans Wharf as well. Yes, we thought it was cool,too!(as in temperature). Lovely place with all the flowers.
