Lifetime of Chances


One of the porches at Second Chances Barn
in Fallbrook, CA.  Wonderful venue, super
friendly people, be prepared to be surprised. 
Make room in your vehicle.













































26 Brothers and sisters, think of what you were 
when you were called. Not many of you were 
wise by human standards; not many were influential; 
not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose the 
foolish things of the world to shame the wise; 
God chose the weak things of the world to shame 
the strong. 28 God chose the lowly things of this 
world and the despised things—and the things 
that are not—to nullify the things that are, 29  
so that no one may boast before him.
                             NIV 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 

My entire life I have prayed on my calling. 
It's been a slow pathetic attempt.
 
Many tears and disappointments.  I know 
my call and given the opportunity I will 
walk through the door.

Making a Saturday 3

Do you know what it feels like to
find your tribe in strangers?
Every day, baby.  Sometimes the moment is
so intense it can bring tears of joy.

The Creativity Caravan follow their blog
or follow them on Instagram.
You will not be sorry.

We each made a tiny book at the show.
Some times a tiny thing
can be an adventure.

Making a Saturday 2

I say to the moment:
Stay now! You are so beautiful.

 Miceli's since 1949 Hollywood.  Tasty, authentic, and the Get
Along will return.

Visiting Salvation Mountain

After surgery last October, I made Mr. Lee promise
we would explore bucket list venues close to home
and prepare for Christmas all year long.  The
Get Along has been doing just that....


Uncle Joe and I often shared our fears
of ending up homeless.  Through no fault of
our own just not having the mental or physical
capacity to care for ourselves.

Fear is a liar.
Fear is a liar.
Fear is a liar.



















Check Salvation Mountain off the bucket list. I'm convinced,
we will never ever be homeless. There may be no running water,
electricity, indoor plumbing, or refuse pick up, but there will be shelter.
And other creatives.










































































More tomorrow.  If something is ailing you,
go listen to some 70s
music. You will feel better.

Betty's Pie Whole

Inside Sunshine Garden is Betty's Pie Whole.

 “Cut my pie into four pieces, I don’t think I could eat eight.”

The two Jacobs eat pie.

Yeah, its that good.  Sweet and
savory pies.  We ordered one
of each, all good.  My favorites
were the meatball (turkey), key lime
and strawberry rhubarb.

Day Trip to Encinitas


Sunshine Gardens
doesn't look like much from the roadside but
then looks can be deceiving.  Round the corner
and a wonderland opens up for an afternoon
well spent.
