quick trip south

I'm leaving tomorrow for a few days of R & R in La Jolla with my boarding school classmates. It's become an annual trek and it's always great fun. Our dance card is full; dinner at Sandy's on Wednesday, lecture about Venice at the Timken Museum in Balboa Park on Thursday (that's a Rubens from the permanent collection above), spa indulgence and luncheon at the Torrey Pines Inn Spa on Friday, home on Saturday. In between, walks on the beach with my hostess's two Goldens (Molly and Maggie), a stroll on Girard to check out the galleries and antique shops, perhaps a smart dinner. And of course lots of talk and problem solving and laughing and prosecco to keep the gears oiled.
