Saturday we went to a food festival across the street from our house at the Helms Bakery. I'm sure all of you heard about the ridiculous closing of one of our highways that led to sheer panic...they deemed it Carmagaedon. News flash-it wasn't the end of the world...but it was convenient that our Saturday afternoon entertainment did not involve getting into the car! And if you aren't familiar with California...there are lots of farms, gardens and such...not just celebrities and fancy boutiques...this little party kinda reminded me of a county fair.
Now...fast forward to Sunday. We went from a down on the farm kind of day to an amazingly beautiful, upscale kind of lounging ocean side day! Last year...before coming to work with my husband at Home Grown Apps I was the personal assistant to a lady living in Montecito, CA. Montecito is the Beverly Hills of Santa Barbara. It's about 2 hrs. north of L.A. and it's one of the most beautiful places on earth. Yesterday we met her and her fiance at the Casion Royale...the private club at the Biltmore. No...we aren't members, but it's kinda fun to hang out with someone who is! Anyway...we had a great lunch and talked through the day as we watched the waves crash upon the shore. In between laughs and lots of chats, Sam recognized one of my very favorite comedians...Jack Black. There he was in all his glory...shirtless, holding one of his kids. He looked like a pretty engaged dad-and even took the baby out of the restaurant when he/she started to cry. Sam gave him our card. He said he grumbled something but he took it and I watched him look at it ( I thought that was better than throwing it in the trash!). You would think I would have taken some really beautiful pics...but the only one we managed to get is driving up the PCH...sorry, bad...bad photographer!! Ha! I guess you'll just have to come visit us and see for yourself!
