Lunch for One, Please!

Posted on January 20, 2020 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 24 Comments

“Are you here for pick-up?” asked the nice young lady as I approached the hostess stand. “Nope. Lunch for one please,” I beamed as her eyebrows shot up involuntarily. She slipped out from behind the counter, skirted the half dozen or so single people hovering waiting for their take-out orders as well as several Door-Dash … Continue reading →

My Boots Spark Joy!

Posted on March 20, 2019 by CaroleJean'sCapers@wordpress.com • 11 Comments

          From the moment I stepped into the turquoise boots with the bright red soles, I felt the magic. I had no intention of buying boots that day…we were merely killing time before driving home. We had a fabulous lunch at a quaint outdoor cafe in Carmel-by-the Sea. It was a … Continue reading →

          I signed up for a retreat at Pigeon Point. There’s a defunct lighthouse there that I’ve driven by hundreds of times. Hundreds! Starting in 1970 on the way to the Shadowbrook restaurant in Capitola. Driving the coast of Northern California is always a treat. I loved it as a tourist … Continue reading →

Not Your Mother’s Granny!

          The baby was late. Nobody panicked—first babies often are. Plus the expectant mother is a pediatric emergency nurse. And boy, does she know her stuff. They fly her in by helicopter to deal with tough situations. Not only that, her sister is a nurse, and her mom, who was coming … Continue reading →

Caviar, Anyone?

          The tiny spoon sparked a series of events. When it arrived in the mail it took a backseat to the other fabulous items in the box Lynn had sent. Remember my sister-friend, Lynn, from Costa Rica? She and her husband, Lucas, are now working out of Abbott Labs’ facility in Columbus, … Continue reading →

        The first time I saw my beautiful twenty-something niece’s tattoo on her leg my lips curled. It was a big fat rat. A rat! On her leg right where everybody could see it. It was crawling up the outside of her calf. Eeeewwww! Tattoos – not just for tough guys anymore. Why?! How … Continue reading →

My neighbor in Capitola, Antonio, is an antiques expert. He knows about furniture, vintage crystal, and collectibles. Me? Not so much. I hear the name Waterford and I think I have valuable crystal. In fact, I used to make a point of buying two wine glasses every time I passed through the airport in Shannon, Ireland. … Continue reading →

How to Go From Sad to Glad

It’s the holidays – a time of joy for some, a time of loneliness and longing for others. While some people are caught up in the whirlwind of buying, buying, buying others are wracking their brains to come up with someone to buy for. I’m somewhere in the middle – remembering the busy, happy days of … Continue reading →
