The Ladies Who Lunch- at Connie's La Jolla house

 Connie in front of her pretty house in La Jolla.

She served us a wonderful lunch, starting with hors d'oeuvres.

Three different salads and homemade pumpkin rolls.

Nancy and Jean dig in.

We then took a walk along the shore watching the pelicans fly by.

We walked through the beautiful neighborhood full of charming houses.

 with lush gardens.

 wonderful details.

It's a very dog-friendly neighborhood.

A painter captures the ocean... and poses for my camera. The colors of his shirt exactly match his painting.

We tried to walk down to the beach but the recent big waves (from the Japanese tsunami) had washed away so much sand that the last step was way too steep.

 It was a wonderful day full of good food, good conversation and a great walk along the shore and through the beautiful neighborhood. Connie is such a good hostess.
