Birthday Wish List

Today was my birthday. I spent the day at home but I still enjoyed myself…just taking it easy. I’ve been having a couple of minor health issues which are more annoying than serious but I’ve cut way back on my usual running around fun time. That’s why I haven’t posted. I haven’t really felt too much like getting dressed up and going out. I should be doing a lot better in a few days. I did go out a couple of times but didn’t bring the camera. Anyway enough excuses!

I did want to show you my new wish list.

All these dresses are from Dress Barn which is becoming a favorite store of mine. They just have pretty things this spring.

Hugs, Susan

An Evening with Arlo

Saturday night I went to see Arlo Gurthrie at the Barclay Theater in Irvine. Now I have loved Arlo since he did “Alice’s Restaurant” about a zillion years ago. I admire his talent as a musician, storyteller, photographer, song-writer and singer. He’s also a kind and generous soul. The concert was very enjoyable…just Arlo, his guitars and a piano. He told some great stories, some about his father, Woody Guthrie, and sang some songs. If you get a chance to see Arlo, you should go. If you’re very young and you haven’t seen “Alice’s Restaurant,” watch the movie and listen to the song. You’ll get a real feel for the sixties.

This is the last of last week’s outings. Good thing since a new week starts tomorrow! My friend Sharon D. and I went to see Art of Sax (aka Red Street) on Tuesday evening. I’ve been friends with Will and Eddie for almost 20 years. Yikes! Of course we were merely children when we met (yeah right).

Will

Eddie

If you’re in Orange County on Tuesday or Wednesday evenings, go check them out. You’ll have a fabulous time!

I have no photos of my outfit. I wore these flowered pants, a black V- neck Tee, black belt and black heels.

Saturday was a girls day out at the Heritage Museum for their St. Patrick’s Day Tea. The Victorian Tea Society uses this as a fundraiser for Heritage Museum. Heritage Museum is a beautiful Victorian House and gardens in Santa Ana, CA. The ladies in the Tea Society all com dressed in their Victorian clothes and hats.

Above picture is of one of the Victorian Tea Society ladies wearing a dress she made! Below is our table at tea.

I’ve had such a busy week since last Friday that I’m getting far behind in posts! Friday night I went with some friends to see “One Night with Janis Joplin” at the Pasadena Playhouse. What a fabulous Show! Great singers, great band and the woman who played Janis was amazing! It was like being at a concert with some personal time listening to Janis Joplin. If you get the chance to see it…GO!

Coral embellished Tee

Flowered jeans

I wore this Coral Tee and Flowered Jeans from Dress Barn. The Tee actually goes with these jeans (I promise). I didn’t get a chance to take pictures Friday night but I do have pictures of Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day Tea which I’ll post tomorrow.

Zombie Love

Yesterday, my friend Sharon D. and I went to the movies to see “Warm Bodies” This was a very cute, funny and romantic comedy out of Canada. We both laughed and enjoyed the movie. Think Romeo and Juliet with Romeo a zombie! He was a very cute zombie too. “R” narrated the story of his romance with Julie. Don’t go to see it expecting some critically acclaimed art house film…just go for some light- hearted fun! It does have a sweet message though.

Have a fun weekend!
