| HOTEL DEL CORONADO |
New Years Wishes from Sunny San Diego!
I loved living in San Diego for many years! It's still our home away from home.

| THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, BOB! |
I loved Bob Hope for the sacrifice he made every Christmas
visiting the troops who were in harms way.
When my husband was deployed to the Persian Gulf
Bob Hope was seen in a red Santa suit riding in a helicopter high above the ships
waving and wishing them all a Merry Christmas.

"Where can I go from your spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
If I make my bed on the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there our hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast."
Psalm 139:7-10
This coming week I will be linking with many of my favorite blogs to join in their parties and giveaways.

I got to visit San Diego one time with my hubby. We had a blast. Praying for a safe birth. Grands are so special. I have 2 grand boys.
Enjoy!!!!!
Hi Carolynn, Your photos are so beautiful. I lived in Oceanside for 16 years and went to San Diego many, many times. I have so many lovely memories there. My husband proposed to me on the Tamarack Beach in Carlsbad at sunset and we were married the next year in Oceanside. We had many fun dates in San Diego.. the opera, the zoo and many other places :) Have a wonderful trip and I look forward to hearing about your new grandbaby!
Hey Sweet Girl...
I am SO with you in heart as you enjoy your winter break in San Diego... Wow, blissful memories for me with that January sunshine and spirit filling surf!
I adore your Chenille Cottage blog and look forward to seeing "you" in my mailbox each month or so...
Enjoy your day and enjoy lovin' on your precious children...
PEACE

Have a great time welcoming your new grand baby! San Diego is a second home for me too...my Dad grew up in La Jolla his family owned the La Jolla General Market, I spent summers in Del Mar with one grandma and my other set of grandparents lived in Point Loma along with my aunt and uncle. Praying for a healthy baby! Can't wait to see photos

Many congrats on the birth of your son and DIL's first child! How exciting. I'm so glad you were able to go visit and share your joy with them.

Your miniature quilts are absolutely precious. I'll bet you've made a really nice one for that new grand baby!
Happy New Year! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful quilts at Simple & Sweet Fridays. Can't wait to hear all about the baby! Congrats!

Psalm 139 is my favorite! Thanks for sharing it.
Popping back through, realized the post I commented on was not the one linked to the party - seeing this brought back MANY memories. I grew up there many, many moons ago...loved the beach. Thank you for the memories,
Kathy
