Our holiday visitors at Wavecrest, Del Mar

Lori, Barbara (Lori's mother), and Steve came for a pizza dinner.

It was really enjoyable even with a couple of kind of funny mishaps.

First of all the pizza wasn't very good and was cold when it was delivered. So we put it in the oven (in the box) to warm it up. Somehow the oven was on broil! Flames were shooting out of the box when we opened the oven. Yikes!! Steve put the fire out-- our hero!

The fire left a truly miraculous depiction of angel wings on the pizza box.

Lori always brings a bottle of my favorite Bailey's Irish Cream.

This is what it looks like if you don't shake it up before pouring.

 Not so much of a mishap, but for some reason it sure made us laugh. We were just in the mood for laughing. And we laughed the whole rest of the fun evening.

Christmas Present- Del Mar 2013

My last post was Christmas Past.

Here's the present-

A winter day in Del Mar. Sorry Easterners!

Always lots of picture-taking.

And bathing beauties:

And dogs ( mostly white ones):

There are seagulls to be fed (with left-over Christmas croissants):

Every year there's a sand-snowman:

And a wedding

A memorial (?)

Our Christmas centerpiece...and only Christmas tree- a rosemary plant.

Nancy decorated it with part of her huge collection of Hallmark ornaments- the tiniest ones.

Nancy and Bob relax after Christmas dinner.

The end of a nice Christmas Day:

The Old Lady and the Sea

(and another beautiful sunset)

More from Christmas at Del Mar

An early morning walk on the beach.

Pretty fancy beach chairs...well it is Del Mar. 

Great weather vanes.

Fashionably dressed beachgoers.

It wouldn't be the beach without the Goodyear Blimp.

 

I stopped to talk to this nicely attired Del Mar Bag Lady and dog.

Not sure how much of her story to believe. I couldn't quite follow it, but she obviously manages to take good care of her cute little dog. I gave her a little money which I hope will help a little. It will probably only buy a little dog food.

Nancy managed to get her work done every day.

Brother, Bob came for Christmas

Nancy and  Bob toast Christmas. Nancy made a wonderful Christmas dinner.  Sounds like Nancy did all the work, but I cleaned up. I also had to stay home 2 days to work. So we shared the pain...and the fun.

Days end.

Christmas in Del Mar

Nancy and I have a timeshare in Del Mar that we hardly ever use. We do sometimes spend Christmas there.  This year we were really glad we did because the weather was beautiful.

Not quite a snowman.

A greeting in the sand

The life guard station.  I'm not counting on him to save me!
