A Weekend Away!

Pin It Now!

I had a wonderful weekend away last weekend! I went to Nevada City, California with my new guy..."Mr. C"!  We met on an online dating site and our first date was the day after I turned 50 and we've really been enjoying our time together ever since!  You may remember him as the guy that took me on a private plane to go see a concert last month!  He has really planned some amazing dates...a wonderful dinner at a restaurant that I casually mentioned to him as being very romantic (Shadowbrook for those of you local), a picnic at a local winery, and now a weekend at a B&B (The Broad Street Inn),  He is a very private person, unlike me who shares all my personal stuff on my blog so hopefully he won't mind if I tell you that he's 51 and he's a CFO...and I might add that he has a great sense of style both with his home and how he dresses! We don't share the same political views so when we met at the height of the recent election it was a bit intense at times but all in good fun!

I took a lot of photos of this quaint little town that is located in Northern California.  This was the area where gold was discovered in the 1800s and all these cute little towns came about as people headed out west to find their fortune!  There is lots of history here and as you walk through town you can almost imagine what it was like here in the 1800s!  I have more photos to share but I'm still going through them...

 Welcome to another Show and Tell Friday!  Well, it's finally starting to feel a little like Autumn here in Northern California! Earlier this week it got down to the low 60s but now it's supposed to be back up in the 70s by the weekend!  I haven't been inspired to decorate for Fall at all this year so I'm sharing some Fall decorating that I did 2 years ago!  I just love the colors of the dried hydrangeas! I bought the mossy stuff hanging down from Michael's but other than that I had everything on hand already!

Yes, that's an iron birdbath that I put on my table! haha!

 Sorry for being away so long! I guess I've been a little distracted lately with the new guy and ya know the San Francisco Giants did win the World Series this week!!!  Wow, that was amazing for us here in the SF Bay Area!  Okay..I just had to mention that but now on to Show and Tell Friday...

This week I'm sharing one of my birthday presents!  My coworker (and friend) Lia made me this for my birthday back in September!   Her husband is in construction and he pulled these windows out of an old home and was throwing them away but Lia rescued them....

 and made these beautiful signs with rub-on letters!  I saw this one at her birthday party in August and mentioned that I loved that quote so she made me one!  I love it!!

Thank you Lia!!!

Just so you know...I won't be posting photos of guys I date on my blog because you never really know how long the relationships will last and I don't want to look back through my blog some day and see all these guys I used to date!  I know some of you probably want to see them (I know I would) but I just can't do it.  Sorry!
