Living in the moments of friendship....

In the midst of living life...trying to create order out of chaos ...a day comes along that is perfect in it's rhythm and in it's heart......
A gentle roll into living in the moments that great friendships weave together.....

Knowing that we are leaving for two months, we enjoyed a day with good friends.
The kind of friends that have grown older with us....friends that make up memories of laughter and special moments. We talked and laughed of old times....and as we did so, we wove new memories....
This was a perfect day.

We began with coffee......and sweets......



Even with drizzles and dark clouds gathering, some crazy folks ( like us ) just can't pass up a flea market! Found a few treasures.....




Off to THE BEST CLAM CHOWDER EVER!!
Too rainy to sit outside so we piled back into the car....
and it tasted even better as our hands warmed up and our tummys got full.



A foggy day in Bodega..... little fishing boats safely anchored in the bay.....
my son-in-law out catching crab on his boat, the Bella Bleu.....yum!
Fresh crab tomorrow!






Perfect foggy and rainy weather as we find our way inside to a cozy fireplace....
and hot coffee with baileys irish creme....




A perfect day and a perfect way to say....see you in a couple of months...
We will miss you.....Wish you were coming with us....

Tempered glass mosaic .....












This piece is called "Enter the Gateway"
The grout is all dry and it's time to add the finishing touches to these wall pieces.
The metallic powders added to a sealer will add another layer of color and also seal the grout.


























This next piece is called
"Celestial Starfish"
I have hidden a Reiki Blessing Symbol within both of these pieces.
My intention with these pieces is that they are infused with healing energy.
