DOUBLE NICKELS!!!!






Yes, that is correct, I am turning 55 today. Kind of scary! But, there is a silver lining. I can get 10% off at Ross on Tuesdays, and now I can go to Denny’s and order from the Senior Menu. Well, I really don’t like Denny’s, but I have found a few bargains at Ross over the years.

My two daughters and I are heading up to Santa Monica. We’ll stay at a nice “beachy” hotel. For dinner, it would have to be Italian (maybe some risotto or gnocchi, and chianti), where we will watch the sun set over the Historic Santa Monica Pier, which was built in 1909. We’ll do a little shopping at the Third Street Promenade and tomorrow find a great place for breakfast before we head home.

While hubby is sunning himself in the Adriatic, we will be soaking up some rays in LA!!

Have a great weekeend!
