beach: Covered in Glass ~ Photo - 01/15/13 08:52 AM

Glass Beach – Fort Bragg, Mendocino, CA
 
This is a beach covered with sea glass that was created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline, near the northern part of the town. The pounding waves throughout the years have broken down and polished the glass.  It's a must see.  An annual Glass Festival is held annually on Memorial Day weekend.

beach: Count your blessings and be...grateful. - 11/27/12 07:21 AM
I’m blessed and grateful...

Count your blessings instead of your crosses; Count your gains instead of your losses. Count your joys instead of your woes; Count your friends instead of your foes. Count your smiles instead of your tears; Count your courage instead of your fears. Count your full years instead of your lean; Count your kind deeds instead of your mean. Count your health instead of your wealth; Count on God instead of yourself.
 
Gratitude is the music of the heart, when its chords are swept by the breeze of kindness.  ~ Author Unknown

beach: This might make you cry a little... - 01/31/12 10:29 AM

 
A recent headline of the San Francisco Chronicle was about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spiderweb of crab traps and line weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, tail, torso and a line tugging in her mouth.A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so bad off, the only way … (6 comments)

"Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail." ~ Og Mandino

In the beginning of October, I was invited to the Great Park in Irvine, Ca. The reason for my visit was to learn about the park and to see the benefits, as a realtor, I would partake in. Before I indulge in explaining what the Great Park has in store for us, I want to share a little background on the park.

beach: Caruso's Halloween Week ~ Protect Your Pets! - 10/25/11 07:03 AM

Halloween can be a traumatic and even dangerous time for your pets. Here are some common-sense tips to help protect & comfort your pets during Halloween.
Don't leave your pets out in the yard on Halloween: there are plenty of stories of vicious pranksters who have teased, injured, stolen, even killed pets on this night. Trick-or-treat candies are not for pets: chocolate is poisonous to a lot of animals, and tin foil and cellophane candy wrappers can be hazardous if swallowed. Be careful of pets around a lit pumpkin: pets may knock it over and cause a fire. Curious … (3 comments)
