I've Seen Fire And I've Seen Rain

What a wild and woolly weekend Mother Nature gave us!!! On Friday afternoon, there was a brush fire in the Cajon Pass, north of LA. It jumped the freeway, destroyed about 20 cars, then continued to burn 3500+ acres. Some people had to leave their vehicles on the freeway and flee. Then on Saturday and Sunday, some much needed rain helped the firefighting efforts. We are getting the tail end of Hurricane Dolores here in SoCal. But I was so happy to see the rain, even if the humidity is off the charts.

So what did I do while getting drenched? First, on Saturday morning, I went for a hike with my hiking club. We went up to Palos Verdes, a city in LA county that's about a half hour north of Huntington Beach, and hiked in Del Cerro Park.

That slice of island that you can barely see is Catalina Island. In this view you can see the trails we hiked on..

We also got a good view of the Terranea Resort, which is lovely.

That's it on the very right hand side.  There are a lot of gorgeous ocean view homes up there.

The hike was quite hilly, but it only lasted an hour, so a nice pharmacist named Kirsten and I continued on for an extra 45 minutes, giving us a total of 5.5 miles. Then I came home and showered off and went to lunch with Doc. Here is what I wore, plus a view of my frizzy mop au natural.

My nustard check shorts are from Target, and the top is dotted swiss of unknown origin. I am also wearing Sam and Libby sandals from Target.

They have  super cushy insoles. Here's a look at the cute plastic details on the criss cross straps.

We went to Curry and Kabob House for their mimosa brunch. Doc was really hungry. Here are our plates.

I had goat curry, chicken tikka, raita, and an assortment of veggie dishes. The mixed veggies at 9 o'clock in the picture were SPICY.

On Sunday, I went for a run. Due to the humidity, it took 10 minutes longer than usual, because I just couldn't keep up my usual pace. Then, in the afternoon, I went to a clothing swap. I will show you what I got tomorrow, since this post is already long. I turned in 5 items, and took home 3, so I came out ahead in not re-cramming my closets.

Today, it's still humid and showery. Here is what I wore.

My stewardess skirt from Worthington, with a white nylon T shirt on top. This plain outfit is all about the accessories. The skirt has a cool waist detail, as does the top.

I wore my Joan Rivers convertible necklace. I used the coral and turquoise insets.

I never show my earrings, but today, I had to, since they echo the necklace exactly.

                                                I wore my beautiful Ivanka Trump shoes.

On my left arm, I have my wedding set and two enamel bangles from Charming Charlie.

On my right arm, my white enamel/crystal ring from Saks, and a wide enamel cuff that covers whats left of my encounter with Kenni's teeth. The wounds are doing nicely - Doc did a great job of patching me up.

Time to link!!! Three lovely ladies today. Melissa from www.Mahogany-Closet.com has Mahogany Monday, Rachelle from www.pinksole.com has How I Summer, and Cherie from www.stylenudge.com has Shoe and Tell.
