Girls' Night Out

I try to regularly check my work email because they're always giving away Great Stuff.  Last October I won tickets to Cal Poly's Homecoming Game.  This time when my name was selected from the virtual hat I won two tickets to see "The Streisand Songbook" with Ann Hampton Callaway at the Clark Center for the Performing Arts in Arroyo Grande.  I was excited to win these tickets because The Man's Mom was visiting and I thought it would be fun for us.  And it was.

Butterfly Grove Groove

(Groove: a fixed routine, an enjoyable time or experience.)

We took a drive south to Pismo Beach to visit the Monarch Butterflies that overwinter here from October through February.  It was a cold overcast day and not much butterfly flitting going on.  The hardy docents thought there were about 20,000 butterflies clustered on the eucalyptus branches.  Beautiful place to spend the winter.  Smart insects.

Happy Groundhog Day

Forecast: The rodents predict an early spring.
