Get Breakfast in Old Orcutt, Calfornia

Old Town Orcutt, seriously make time for
a visit to this charming town and have
breakfast at Kay's Country Kitchen.

Yep that is Mr. Lee's thumb.

And that is bliss on my face. Family, food, and
a long weekend. Mercy, so so much gratitude.

Food Food Food. Jacob couldn't wait
for the photo... Eggs Benedict.















Honestly, I am not a huge meat eater,
but this tri-tip, Santa Maria style, was
the best I've tasted it was like butter.

Ideas.

See that window frame?  Feeling
a DIY project coming on, oh yeah.
The Get Along will be back.
More on Orcutt, tomorrow.

Treasure Hunting in the Central Coast

I want MY CHILDREN
to have all the things I couldn't afford
then I want to move in with them.

During the Memorial Day weekend, we
were mindful of all who gave the ultimate
sacrifice. With a son serving in the Army,
it is never too far from our minds, all the
families who sacrifice so much for peace
at home.  For their service and sacrifice
we are ever grateful.

California is blessed to have the historical 
missions .

Mission San Luis Obispo Tolosa regular Mass
may be attended here.

The SLO Mission Courtyard, houses
the Santa Maria-type barbecues. This type of bbq may be found
through the central coast region of California, in church courtyards,
restaurants,  and even outside supermarkets.

The hydrangeas (or hortencias like my mother called them)
are a deep pink from lime in the soil. Where the hortencias
I am accustomed to are the blue flowers so common in the
Azores.  The blue hortencias  require aluminum-sulfate in the soil.

This mission's grounds are compact but well maintained.

Glorious Spanish tile roof.

The local hardware store carried these
miniature Santa Maria bbqs.
