lunch and stores

Today I went out to lunch with a friend ...{for making a Woody vest for her son.} We had lunch at Nordstrom Cafe and then went to a fabric store in Vista and a fancy fabric store in Salona Beach..looking for fabric to cover her dining chairs and a couch...I was gone from 11:00 to 4:00 with her...I didn't get anything done since before I left I was on the computer chatting with my elder brother....but hey, fun day !

Pacific Coast Hwy...

Today I got lost going to Newport Beach Temple...but I was on Pacific Coast Hwy. so I knew I would get to Newport Beach. The inspired voices in my head after a prayer told me to turn on Newport Coast Hwy. when I saw it....it ends at the road that the temple is on Bonita Canyon Dr.[ left about a mile...I could see it when I came over a hill]...Awesome ...I just love that kind of heavenly help !! And I got a great view of the ocean all along Pacific coast Hwy. ! It was also hilarious...I was driving behind a convertible with a BIG black St. Bernard in the back seat...his tail hung over the car on the left side and his snout hung over the side of the car on the right..he filled up the whole back seat !!
