Happy Birthday to your Dad. Great pictures, LOVE the beach!
Hey, happy birthday to your Dad - I love it that he has loads of colourful bags around him, it's like a kids party. We should all be kids again on our birthdays :)
Ah the waves...I miss that already!
Hi Cathy, Happy Birthday to your Dad!
Love all pictures!
Have a good week!
Happy Birthday to your dad from me as well.
The beaches don't look as congested as they do round here. Must not be hot enough in CA.
MomyBlogR;
Thank You :)
Devil;
Welcome back!
My dad is like a big kid. :)
Sonia, Sophie and Dr. Deb; Thank you.
Eric;
It's funny how no one else apprears in the photos. The beach was actually quite full of people. Somehow they all avoided my camera. They were all bathing on the sand, I guess, and scared to touch the cold water. All my photos point towards the water! I'll take a picture of the people next time.
Happy B-lated Bday to your dad Cathy!
Beach, Sun, Food, and a birthday..What could be better :)
happy birthday Cathy's daddy.
(he looks very excited with his presents!)
i'd love to try your salads. Especially the Mediterranean salad with mandarine dressing.
Heidi;
You're right; Nothing!
Stephanie;
I'm sure he would thank you ;)
Chloe;
He was very excited (and it wasn't just because of too much wine, either; that's how he is!)...He had just opened a new shirt from my sister; a Deutschland t-shirt; the only man I know who can get such a thrill from a shirt.
The salads were o.k.; but nothing too great; I prefered the mandarine one, but only because the caprese salad made me have nightmares last night; I dreamt about it and then awoke with a tummy-ache. Mr.C had to go searching through the bathroom and medicine drawers looking for some gravol and came back with dramamine (Sp.?)...it's a sea-sickness medication. I had to take one to make me feel better!!! So now I know...caprese salad makes me sea sick.
You must be up very late or way too early, my dear. I hope you're not having insomnia.
Damn, there is food porn everywhere I go these days.
Yummy, yummy, yummy, salads. I recently picked up the Book of Coffee (guess what that one's about?), Kate Aitken's Canadian Cookbook, a reprint of a 40's-50's Canadian cookbook (the old ways are often still the best ways), and Cocina Nueva, a Spanish recipe book. I'm going to have fun in my kitchen soon.
Great photos - the first one made me feel very wistful for the beach. The Inasalata Caprese just made me feel hungry.
low 30's? at the beach? omg...that's way too cold. it's been in the 100's here!
great salads and your dad is so cute! ;)
Thank you all for your nice comments.
I am swimming. With work, with kids, literally, in the ocean..I'll be around to visit your blogs when I get the chance.
And Vani; that's 30 Celsius (not Fahrenheit) :)
What glorious beach photos.
Hope your dad had a wonderful birthday, and your dishes look amazing ... my mouth is watering.
Take care, Meow
I love the photo of your sun and the waves! Glad to hear that you had a great weekend. I have spent the whole weekend unpacking and then trawling the net for a flat. I found one I liked... so fingers crossed, it's still available today!
