Good Morning My Friends,
Soooo lovely to sit alone with Ollie ( my sweet albino cat) curled up on my lap a cuppa in hand and have a long overdue visit with you. Friday started out as my fun day blog because the kids were visiting which quickly changed into my day off where I can live with free abandonment if only in my mind.
But today, I’m starting with coffee instead of my lemon water with Bragg’s apple vinegar, juice of all of the colors of the rainbow (beet, kale, carrot.. basically everything from the kitchen sink, and I’m late with posting because I’m writing as I go. ahhhhhhh savoring moments are good. So take a breath in and out before you start to read and pull up a chair and a cuppa or read me later when time permits.
My mini vacation was just the way I live I realized… a whirlwind trip, active and fun and we covered more ground after not traveling much than I can remember. It started out as a quick trip to Santa Barbara to celebrate one of my daughter’s best friends wedding and ours and we turned it into an extended time and visited lots of friends which we never do. The bonus was each one had these amazing new bathrooms and since we’re supposed to start our bathroom remodel in January it couldn’t have been more perfect timing. The stars lined up as the universe always does when we’re ready.
First stop Templeton, California in San Louis Obispo, California
I was a passenger so I could read all of you and “catch up” (I’m realizing I will never be caught up.. a slow learner here but ambitious) and I thought of one of my BBF’s that lives in Templeton, gave her a jingle and we had an amazing catch up which was awesome. Templeton is in San Louis Obispo and our youngest daughter went to school there so it brings back fond memories and the hiking is incredible.
Next stop, Santa Barbara to meet up with our youngest daughter, Barbican (her blog name 🤣) who was traveling from NYC before the wedding for dinner. Always a joy to unite and share time by ourselves.
Hiking in Montecito, California
Named one of the 50 Top Travel Places to travel in the world by Travel and Leisure in 2019 you can see why when you visit.
Montecito is home to some of the area’s most stunning stretches of coastline, from Fernald’s Point, past the calm waters of Miramar Beach and renowned surf break at Hammonds Point, to sparkling Butterfly Beach. Stand-up paddlers and surfers vie for waves, and sailboats sleepily bob against their moorings offshore.
It’s defiantly worth the visit and who knows you might see someone famous sitting at a local coffee shop on Coast Village Road or Upper Village but the real stars are one of the 15 hiking trails of the plethora of the flora fauna of the great outdoors. On a clear day you can see epic views from the city of Santa Barbara to the Channel Islands and beyond.
So lace up your shoes and come along with me.
San Ysidro Falls Trail
The San Ysidro Trail is beautiful taking you through a neighborhood of beautiful homes and then slowly winds up to the Hot Springs for the adventurous so you can guess where we headed. It was breathtaking and although we had barely any waterfalls 😢 I remembered the last time I was there when it was gushing with water. Shortly after that they had the fires and lost so many homes and then the tragedy of the mudslide floods in 2018 destroyed many of these properties. If you’re interested you can read about it here.

A stunning beautiful bride and groom and setting and sooooo much fun to celebrate.
The promise of love
Beautiful inside and out
A lifetime of adventure
On to Hollywood (well, Santa Monica to be exactly but that’s where this girls gonna end up):
This Girl’s Got Talent
She’ll out run you any day
Lights Camera Action

TO BE CONTINUED…. So much to say and so little time for me and for you…. Off to the dentist..It was fun while it lasted.
Big hugs and love to you whatever you do on this magnificent day! It will never come again.
Stay Blessed and shine your light,
💖

Thank you so much Dear Ingrid!!! Glad you enjoyed the pictures.. so beautiful. I sure do and we’ll take it, thank you!!! 💖💖👏👏👏🙏
Wow! I’m so jealous- what a beautiful view, Cindy! I’m so glad you enjoyed your hike! And congratulations to the bride and groom! Wishing them a beautiful life together and you an awesome weekend! 💖💐🌹

Let’s hope sooner than later!!! 💕
Oh, I do hope, girl! You know it! 😃❤
fingers crossed!!💖
Same here! 😊
👏👏👏
And it will be awesome!💖💖
You betcha, girl! Hiking through nature! Ahhh! 😊💖💐
oh that’s a great mantra and visual to keep in your head!!💖💖
Some amazing photos, everyone – including you – seemed to have a great time! Congrats to the happy couple, and I hope you got some good ideas for your bathroom 😊
Thanks Dear Clive. Sooo glad you liked my pics.. Aren’t they amazing .. oh for young love. I’m getting there on the bathroom Ideas thanks a lot. Oh can’t wait to share with you my daughter winning tickets on the radio to an amazing musician in a couple of weeks.. she was over the moon.. but I don’t think you love country.. right? 💖💖💖
Good to know it’s going well, and yes they did look great. It’s wonderful that she has won the competition – it rather depends on the musician: I like a lot of country but some of it does nothing for me. Like a lot of musical genres, really. I’ll be interested to see how it goes 😊
Oh thanks a lot.. you know you and I would laugh but we got the recording by calling the radio station and i guess she was screaming in excitement and shaking she said.. lol. I actually like him a lot. I think hahahaha.,. 💖💖
I don’t think you mentioned in the post who you’ll be seeing – if you say, I’ll see if I’ve heard of him, as there are loads out there that haven’t come across my radar 😊
It’s a surprise.. lol.. xoxoxoxo💖
You’re such a tease! I bet you don’t really know, do you? 😉
Hahahahahahaha.. time will tell.. 😛
Oh Cindy, what can I say .. that wasa thoroughly engrossing and enjoyable article to read … it kept me captivated while having my Saturday morning brekkie and coffee … and your Haiku were fabulous … Thank you for sharing your trip with us … Cheers. Ivor 🌏😃😎🤗💛
💖 Ivor.. so kind o you and so nice of you to sam my friend. I’m happy that you enjoyed it and had a little coffee and brekkie (is that a break or a biscuit?.. lol ) with me..! Happy you liked my Haikus as well and you came and visited … thanks sooo much!! 💖💖💖💖🙏 xo
My pleasure Cindy
Appreciated!💖
💜 How on Earth 🌎 can you “sit alone with Ollie” SupaSoulSis; is “Ollie” an imaginary “cat” 😂🤣😅😆😁😄😃😀🙂 🙃😉😊 😝😜🤪 🤔 ?
…💛💚💙…
Well, well, well. 🤨 So, you were on a whirlwind trip filled with spectacular views, good conversations, and lots of romance no doubt! Girl, you have got to be tired, but at least you had one heck of a FUNyay time on your much needed trip. The photos are awesome and your haiku was a nice complement to your narration! Enjoy your beautiful weekend my dear! I think you should rest before embarking on that bathroom project though! 🛁🚿🚽🤣
Awww thanks Kym and it had to cute it short.. lol.. I was like.. wow this is long and NO ONE wants to read that much including me lol and the dentist “saved” us all lol
It was a great trip and I really appreciate your sweet comment. Sooo happy you liked my clicks and haikus my dear friend. I will and you have a great one too. Good call on waiting on the remodle! 💖💖💖
Yeah girl, after coming off such a wondrous trip, why get caught up in the stress of remodeling right now? Besides, I don’t think the bathroom is going anywhere any time soon! LOL 🤣😝😂😆
I might sink down the cracks of the tub.. lol! 🤣🤣🤣 no baths for me for awhile
😲🛀🏼😝🚿😱🛁
Way to go with the haikus! Wonderful photos from what seems like a great trip.
Thanks a lot Mark.. I appreciate that coming from the sups picture and haiku writer!!! 💖💖
Loved this post, Cindy! Looks like a fun whirlwind trip. Gorgeous photos. Everyone looks healthy and happy! <3 I guess Californians are doing their rain dance. I hope you get some rain! 🙂 Have a great weekend! Maybe rest up a little bit?

💖❤️🌷 Happy Sunday!💖
What a whirlwind of activity! From the look of these fab pix, you had a great adventure!
It was and that’s only half of it.. lol.
part 2 next week. Thanks a lot Nancy it was fun. 💖🌷
I’ve got to ask – did she choose her own “blog” name? Or is that the name that you assigned to her, Cindy?
<3
David
I asked: she said, I don’t have a blog name lol. I said well do you want one? … Renee said you all should have one. Her’s is barbican (auto correct) and I said ooops hahahah narnical and she said lolo
“Mine can be barbican”
🤷♀️ 🤣
does everyone in the family have one?
Only 2 so far… are you thinking of it for your fam? Maybe we should have one? lol 🤣
my family’s not that big so it’s not really necessary for me 😉
True, but for your daughter you could later if she wants… I mean just us as bloggers could have one but now we’re out there.. would be confusing tho maybe.
what will I ever do if/when she creates her own blog and picks a different blog name out for herself?
laughing 🤣🤣🤣 and maybe for her Papa too!
I’ll coach you through it, don’t worry🤗
Lovely pictures…fun trip…I like your poem…thank you for your sharing, Cindy ❤️ ✨ 🤗
Thanks so much Navin and appreciate your visit and glad you enjoyed my trip in pics and poetry!💖
You’re welcome, Cindy…have a lovely weekend ❤️✨🤍
Thank you and you too! 💖💖
Thank you ✨💟💫

Cindy, you visited some gorgeous places. Thanks for taking us along with you. A post packed with love, travel, a wedding, friendship, poems, smiles… a rich read! Oh, and bathroom ideas! That is helpful. 😁 Best wishes with your remodel and hope you get to relax after your busy trip. 🤗
I did and more to share.. lol that was just half of the trip. I know sooooo good to have those ideas under my best… you know with 4 kids and the masses.. it doesn’t happen much but I savor it all my friend. 💖🙏🙏
Wow! You were busy! 😃 You are an amazing force of energy and love. 💖

Happy Monday to you! I was pissed when my Sunday was spoiled by the realisation that it’s Monday 😡

Thanks and I hope you do too!! 💖
☺️ Thank you!
💖💖💖
It was sooo fun.. awwww thanks!💖🙏
Cali has a lot of beautiful places to hike and backpack, you are very lucky to be there with alll that awesome biodiversity.
We were avid hikers (day hikers, I could never convince my wife to backpack…she wants a shower and a real meal after the day is done:).
That trolley is a great idea, we did that here when we got married, much more fun and photogenic than a limo (though it was a limo that took us down to Boston for the night before flying out on our honeymoon, courtesy of my parents).
On a different note, on Jan. 22, 2021, you posted ‘Lost and Found’ that showcased your daughter doing a diy project with discarded bottles. Did she ever choose to continue to perfect her craft and begin selling candles and/or glasses? If so, may I see a link so I can view the finished products, or if you posted it, guide me to it?
I thought that was such an excellent idea and post.
Thank you again for all you do and for your wonderful work.
Good Morning Mike. It sure is gorgeous and I feel blessed, you’re so wriite.
Oh that’s awesome. I hike/ walk everyday as well. I’m with your wife.. lol but I could/ would/ maybe 🤣 try a 2 week stint on the PCT.
It was really fun and we got a ride back in that alone after the wedding which was fun. How fun was that for you on your honeymoon and a limo is always a good idea on someone else’s dime 🤣 .
Are you living on the East Coast now?
Oh how kind you remembered and I was going to post how to make candles with them and don’t think I ever did or did I? I can’t remember but I use them every day in meditation in the morning and I love them! I don’t think they got it up on Etsy. Both work full time but I’ll let you know.. It was a great idea and so much fun to witness.
You’re most welcome and thanks for reading.
Have a wonderful week ahead!
💖
Wow. I want to visit there now
You won’t be sorry if you do!!! Promise! 💖
Yes, northern New England.
Though there are plenty of places to go backpacking, it isn’t like out west. Here you are close enough not to miss much, but out there, in the Sierra Nevadas and other places with vast remote wilderness, you can’t get a true sense of them unless you are a couple days in. We began watching backpacking videos a few years ago, and the scenery out in the western mountains is unreal. Most of the best vids are of out there. Still have yet to see a compelling one from Kansas though:)
I have an older brother who has lived in CA since the eighties, Hermosa Beach since the late eighties/early nineties. Whenever he came home for a visit, he would remark on the changing seasons and weather patterns of New England. He said the weather in HB was almost boring in its sunny perfection.
My wife and I spent 10 days in San Diego in late May of ’06. I said to him “What gives? 10 days and we only saw small patches of blue, and an occasional peek at the sun.” “Oh,” he unabashedly replied, “you came during May Gray and June Gloom.” All I got was a nod when I asked if this were an annual event, and a shrug of the shoulders when I further inquired why he didn’t’ let us know that when we said we were planning a trip. Tsk, tsk, tsk.
As to your daughter’s project, thank you for letting me know. I started to go forward from that post to try and find a link you may have provided if she had started selling them, but it would have taken my forever. I meant to just scan each post for the link, but I couldn’t get past your writing. I laughed and reread ‘chasing coyotes’ at least 3 times. I knew then that I was in trouble with Father Time, so I broke down and asked; I am very glad I did.
Seems like you had a great time. Beautiful pictures right there
Thanks so much! I really did,💕🙌❤️
That’s good
💖💖💖🙏🙏🙏❤️
Quite a whirlwind journey! I enjoyed the details about the hiking paths with an excellent map and inspiring photographs. When one can walk such trails with camera in hand, something is bound to catch the eye of the lens. Blessings to you Cindy and best wishes with the bathroom makeover.
You’re so right! Oh I’m glad you enjoyed this. That is so true and I’m so excited about my new phone hearing how good the pics are.
Oh I appreciate that, I’m thrilled, it’s over due. Fingers crossed and thanks so much for your visit! 💖🙏
What an amazing hike!
totally mty friend in spam!
Thanks for sharing lovely photos and post☺️ I too go for hikes and camps but don’t like to share my photos 🤔
You’re welcome and thanks for the catch up. Oh I’d love to see them. I love hiking in nature.. 💖
I too love hike and camps but these days we are not going anywhere☺️
And there’s that… 🙃💖
😊
What an amazing trip. You sure packed a lot of wonderful things into your vacation. Isn’t it such a blessing right now especially to see people we love. I loved your little poems as you went through you dear pictures with us. It is so nice to visit with friends you haven’t seen in a long time. So glad you all got to meet up at the wedding and everyone looked so amazing. What a blessed and thrilling time dear friend. Blessing and love, may they pour out around you and your family. Love you bunches. xoxoxoxoxo
