Saturday in the City
A slower start than the past weeks; a leisurely drive up to San
Francisco (many people call their closest big town “the city”, but for me that
term always means San Francisco); blue skies, sunshine with a whip-cream slathering
of clouds along the mountains on the ocean side; a great way to begin the day.
One goal: San Francisco’s 36th Decorator Showcase 2013 http://www.decoratorshowcase.org which was held in the Herbst Manor at 2800 Pacific Ave. Built in 1899
by Ernest Coxhead, for Sarah Mathilde Spooner, it is built in the Georgian-style with
sweeping views of the city and has been transformed by 27 talented and creative
designers: one of whom actually attended the Hotel School in Glion, worked
in the industry for 13 years then concentrated on decorating. Antonio

Lunch outdoors at the Ferry Building, a drive along the other piers, out
to Crissy Park and on to the second goal: seeing the venue where my nephew will
be married this fall. Wandering through the Presidio reminded me of the Sierra
Nevada; seeing the bay in a pull out, of my time spent overlooking the Puget
Sound; the drive back to my sister’s, of the fact that tomorrow I return home.
A great ending to a wonderful trip – I am incommunicado till sometime
next week when I return to writing my Blurred
lines of Garble, ie BLOG.
