Morning in San Diego 01-23-14

I did sleep at the motel in San Diego - actually, five hours straight.  Unheard of!  But when I had to get up at 3am or so, I couldn't get back to sleep, so computed for about half an hour and then tried the bed again - it was very comfortable, but one of those thick mattresses and they should have supplied a stool so I could get into bed easily.  Considering it is very close to the airport it was very quiet except around 6:30am when some early riser let his door slam.  However, I went back to sleep for another hour or more for a total night's sleep of about eight hours.  I'm one of those who believe I can catch up on my sleep, so I am working at that this week.  The eight hours was a good start.  Tomorrow I am up early and off to Road to California quilt show in Ontario, CA.  If you see me there, please say Hello.

 

It was gorgeous at 9am or so, just a comfortable temperature to step out the patio door and look around.  There was a phoebe catching bugs around the lawn and sitting on the flag poles for the mini golf layout.  They never seem very frightened of me.
