Here in San Diego, this date that will live in infamy will
not only host military celebrations, we will have a gigantic seasonal party in
Balboa Park. Over 350,000 happy folks
will brave non-existent parking to enjoy the foods and celebrations of the cities
diverse cultures. The museums will all
be open and free from five to nine pm.
They call this crush http://www.balboapark.org/decembernights>December
Nights.
We will be there around
three to get our free parking relatively close to the Automotive Museum.
Last year a teenaged boy stole someone’s kettle corn off the
food table. This year the volunteer
director has objected to my running the food table, for you cannot take food or
drink into the museum. I agree. I’m still traumatized from the fuss from last
year. The museum director wants me
there. I’d rather be counting folks that
come in.
Since the temperature in the doorway will be near 45 F,
which is 7.2222222222222 C, I’ve assembled my armor and found some of it
missing. My old silkies went
somewhere. My new silkies say they are
the right size but look awfully small. My
warm red hat and scarf are nowhere to be found. Ah, the realities of cold weather that appears
but once a year.
So this morning, we are hitting the neighborhood
Target. So will 350 cops and 350 kids
plus families for the annual http://shopwithacopsandiego.com/ >“Shop
with a Cop.”
I hope my desire
for a warm head gets me to the store before the cops arrive. Watch me run.
Life is Really in the

- http://geeeee-zer.blogspot.com/>Himself: He’s still shopping and having a ball. Playing with his Birthday tablet too. His birthday is in January. Estate sales this morning…Bobbie gave us a mixer without bowls. We can’t donate it without them. This hunt will keep him going a long, long time.
- Herself: Picked to lead meeting….”Into Action.” Didn’t make a lot of sense, but it was the perfect topic for a room full of new Navy folks. Found a simple dressy top at “Great Curves” last night. I will keep that beautiful coat till I lose more weight.
- Reading: Imagine, nothing at the moment.
- Balance: Having a whole Saturday with G….I miss that.
Museum director trumps volunteer coordinator. Always know that.
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling at the note above.
ReplyDeleteIt's nearly 11 a.m. Sunday here as I type, so I'm guessing it's nearly 6 p.m. Saturday there and you are already in the thick of things. I'm sending you some of our warm summer weather to wrap around you to keep you warm.
I have a bowl that went with a mixer I gave away years ago. I think it is 1950s vintage. Too bad you are not nearby, I'd give it to you. It was from Mom's old mixer which went I know not where. I once made hundreds of cakes in it!!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear someone remembered Dec. 7. Good old SD with its Navy!!!
How funny, I have an old mixer bowl with no mixer too. I don't even know how I got it since I've never owned a stand mixer. I think. The Balboa Park event sounded like a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteWe survived it all.
ReplyDeleteBless you for dong the temperature in F. I don't do C and I'm too old to start.
