Hello Friday

Good Morning San Diego,
Wake to another soft grey day probably turning to a beautiful blue later.

For all you August brides maybe you want to do it the Italian way:
From Fodors.com info on today's holiday:

Torta Dei Fieschi (Wedding Cake)

Lavagna, August 14

Count Opizzo Fieschi wanted to demonstrate his great love for his bride, Bianca dei Bianchi of Siena, when they wed on August 14, 1230. Naturally he ordered a cake made with 4,000 eggs, 3,300 pounds of sugar, and 3,300 pounds of flour, frosted with 110 pounds of almond paste. The thirty-foot-high cake, shared by everyone in the town, testified to the magnitude of his devotion.

Every year the wedding is reenacted, with a different young woman as the beautiful bride. There are fencing contests, flag-throwing demonstrations, concerts, a candlelight parade with knights in costume, and—of course—an immense wedding cake. Men in medieval costume tote the torta through the town and hand out lottery tickets—blue for men, pink for women, each pair with a matching code word. The men and women must compare cards with thousands of people to find their match and qualify for a slice of cake.

Sounds like fun to me......

Lost track of time at the track!

Good Evening San Diego,

Thursday

Good Morning San Diego,
Thursday it is, very close to Friday, are you getting excited yet? Another weekend for some R&R for those of you who do the 9 to 5. Then there is the rest of us that own our own businesses that work S to S (Sunday to Sunday). Any way that is my excuse for taking the afternoon off and going to the Del Mar races with the Women's Council of Realtors. Im betting all my money on 'Hot & Dusty" in the first and "Wheresmymargarita" in the last. Wish me luck.....

Wednesday

Good morning San Diego,

John has been at it again. Cooking over the top for a birthday celebration for a friend at our house last night. He had planned to serve the whole fish, head and all, but it was too large. Black Sea Bass stuffed with clams raisins, pine nuts, breadcrumbs and veggies. Amazing, the picture does not do it justice. Again, I do not have to buy a lottery ticket, I have my wish "a personal chef".....

Tuesday

Good Morning San Diego,

Here's to all you sleepy San Dieagans. I hear the newscasters have to get up at 2:30am to get to work on time. It looks kind of like this when they walk out the door to greet the day. I think I am glad that I don't have to get up this early.....

Foggy Friday

Good Morning San Diego,

And a happy Friday to you.

Today is the end of a fab week and the end of National Psychic Week and
Turtles International Awareness Week. I can cover them both: I am channeling the fact that the turtles did not know that we were aware of them. (That will be $5.00 please).

Have a Ball

Good Morning San Diego,

Did you know that today is Lucille Ball's birthday? I always liked her quote: "Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead. " Lucille Ball As a "retired" redhead I relate to this, although I don't think I "every man" complied with his entitlement....

Good Morning San Diego
