Sacramento MCM Home Tour 2010

The Sacramento MCM Home Tour was everything I was hoping it would be, and more. Suffice it to say, it was a jaw dropping experience. Interior pictures were discouraged in most homes, understandably so, but we were able to photograph a couple of the homes. Thank you to Gretchen and the rest of the folks that worked so hard to put this event together. And thanks to my husband for taking pictures....I was too busy holding my jaw up.

Thanks to the homeowners for opening your doors to 1200 MCM fanatics . You are all troopers!

Sacramento Mid-Century Modern Home Tour

We're headed to Sacramento for the

Sacramento MCM Home Tour.

I'll take lots of pictures.

P.S. It's raining this morning! It smells so glorious and feels so good.

Think I'll go sit on the deck and enjoy a cup of Jo and smell the rain.

Have a great weekend everybody.

Cool Pools

It's hot today.

I'm not complaining though because

we are almost into July and haven't hit the triple digits yet.

Here are some very cool pools to cool you off.

And if you're in a cool climate...

experiencing thunder and lightening

(sorry Christine)....

you can dream about sunshine

and cool pools.

Blissful Bodega Bay Getaway

Our little getaway to Bodega Bay was so very relaxing.

Thanks to my sister and her husband for inviting us along.

Here are a few photos from the trip.

Windmills are so much prettier than oil rigs, aren't they?

We were in the wrong lane and accidently went over the Bay Bridge.

No worries, we got off on Treasure Island and were rewarded with a beautiful view of the city.

We arrived at this marvelous vacation home

just in time for cocktail hour.

My sister found this place on VRBO.

(vacation rentals by owner)

I lusted after this kitchen.

Notice the in-cabinet lighting?

The sink?

The view?

EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!

This was the view from our bed.

We ate cookies. Yum.

Watched the sunset.

Looked at the lights of town from the spa.

I love the way the railing is lit.

We watched wind surfers.

And flew kites.

We visited Fort Ross State Historic Park.

Sigh......vacation perfection.
