I am sitting at the airport waiting to head back home to HOT Texas ~ It has been really nice being in California but it is time to go home ~
I love to go to Paso Robles and wander around the shops there ~ One of the places we went was "We Olive" where you can taste everything and it is yummy !
This is my sister and mom trying something good I am sure ~
This is some of the olive oils and balsamic vinegars to taste ~
Another shop I love to go to is "The Cottage" ~ Sandi has wonderful antiques and home decor in her shop ~
I want to start carrying lavender items on my website so we stopped at a lavender farm ~ I always seem to drag my mom and my sister to a lavender farm when I am in California ~ You should smell my suitcase right now full of this ~
We went for walks every evening and it was stinking cold so I had to borrow warmth since it was hard to even imagine packing for cold ~
My mom and dad live on a mountain that overlooks 3 cities ~ It is absolutely a gorgeous view ~ I could sit on their deck for hours and wander around their gardens full of beautiful flowers ~
There are always deer roaming around which is so much fun to me to see ~
This is LAX today ~ Oh my gosh I think everyone is cramming the last trip in before school starts ~ It is a total zoo !
Well it is getting time to board my next flight on my journey home ~

Hi Lori, sounds like you had a nice trip, and what fun places to shop! I love California too, and the weather though cooler is so welcoming. Hate that LAX crowd though! Hope you had a nice flight home.
Hi Lori, sounds like you and your family had a great time! I wished it were jacket wearing weather around here! I can't hardly stand to stick my head out the door! I am so ready for cooler weather! Glad you had a little break from this Texas heat!!! hugs~~~ Daphne
These shops look wonderful and what a gorgeous view your family has! Can't even imagine a coat this time of year! The lavender is so beautiful, I can almost smell it!
So glad you had so much fun with your mom and Kim on your trip. The shops looks gorgeous. That chest is wonderful. Bet some of that lavender ends up in some of those little pillows you make. Wish we could get together soon, I miss you.
Welcome home!!!
Hugs, Pat
G'day Lori ~ Beautiful pics of your trip ... love the valley.
Have a wonderful PS weekend ~

What fun times Lori! Give me that "stinkin cold" right now...I would love it. The heat and humidity is awful here. I hope it gets better in a day or two.
LOVE the lavender , but it does not love me. :(
The soaps look amazing too!!
Blessings~
Sorry to say it hasn't cooled off in
Texas. Looks like you had a really good time, cool shops and wearing a coat, awesome. When I lived in Utah we would wrap up to watch the fireworks. Lezlee
Oh my, you should stay there! Way too hot to come home to Texas, it's unbearable. Your parents live in paradise, don't they? Loved the lavender, it's the best smell ever!

Wow those views are out of this world!!
Oh Lori, I would love to visit this heavenly area!!! I cannot even believe you had to wear a jacket in the evenings! I'm in love with lavender too and it must need these milder temps to grow well, I usually kill each and every plant I try to grow. I'm so ready for cooler weather!!! Have an amazing week sweet friend, hugs and love, Dawn
By now Lori I am sure you made it back to Texas! But if it were me, I just think I would be "hoppin" back on that plane, and leavin this TEXAS HEAT!!!! I really think I broke a sweat just seeing your pic with a jacket on! LOL Cathy aka Girls Gone Junkin
Jealous oh sooooooooo Jealous! But LAX looked ugly!!!! Don't worry about needing that coat when you get back here! It's so freaking hot! Day 16 with 7 more just like them... over 100. We are indeed California Girls at heart. HUGS! Charlene
Darn, I missed you again !!
Thanks so very much for visiting the store !! You headed back just in time though....104 here today..
I hope you had a wonderful time,
Hugs,
Sandi
Cold? I think I've forgotten what cold feels like!!! What a FANTASTIC view at your parent's house!!! Oh my gosh - I don't think you would be able to get me to leave!!!
Lavender... I have to say... I was sitting here trying to sniff your suitcase. LOL
I hope you have had a wonderful trip - welcome home!!!
;-D robelyn

It is always good to be home though. :0)

Looks a lot like California to me. Yes, the deer wander outside my studio window all the time. Glad you had a nice trip . .
