May 13...Mom and I got up and headed to do laundry. We found a really nice and very clean laundromat. After we went next door and I got a pedicure....pink with black polka dots. We did a few errands and headed to Pismo Beach. I walked down to the beach and sat and enjoyed the ocean. The sand was hot but I sat and once again admired the ocean. There was a pier to my right that was really nice and provided great shade for people. There were runners, horseback riders and colorful umbrellas. I walked along the beach and found some 20 sand dollars. They were perfect. I walked in the water loving the feeling of the ocean. The water was cold but not for long. I made my way back to the car where my mom waited...napping I'm sure. My mom and I walked out on the pier and admired everything. We sat on the picnic table and just looked. After another perfect day we headed to the Madonna House. Yes it is pink. It was built by a man last name madonna who did a lot for San Luis Obispo. The grounds were equestrian looking and really groomed. I stopped in to get rates...whoohooo. we ate dinner at my brother Les's. He made Artchokes and Talapia. We had oysters...brie and crackers. We ate outside and my mom enjoyed wine with Lenise. The birds were everywhere and chirping like crazy. My brothers place is private and covered with huge trees. We laughed and had a great visit. Back to the ranch we went with wine and chocolate. I'm getting really familiar with this area and I really like it.
