Hodgepodge

I just finished reading a book, that makes 5 for February. I like "chick lit" it's fun, enjoyable and easy to read, I also like thrillers :)
Here's the ones I read, and my ratings *good, **very good ***great
Liza Palmer: Seeing Me Naked. **
James Patterson: Step on a Crack **
Lisa Norato: I only want to be with you
Julie Buxbaum: The Opposite of Love ** (I cried lol)
Carole Matthews: The Chocolate Lovers' Club *

Old time favorites I want to reread: We, the Living by Ayn Rand
Battle Cry by Leon Uris (no lit chick these ones)!

TV shows I am watching~~~I am into reality shows, I find it hard to sit still for a 1 hour drama show where i have to follow the plot! Reality shows are fun because you can miss some of it and it doesn't really matter.
My favorites playing at the time are...American Idol, of course. There's a young man from Murray Utah that sings great. Operation Runway, love it!!!!
Color Splash with David Bromstard, I totally love him! Make Me a Super Model it's quite fun, and still a favorite..Saturday Night Live.

MUSIC...(Berkley Hart and HEAT excepted)
Landon Pigg: Coffee Shop
Yael Naim: New Soul
I'm from Barcelona: We are from Barcelona (Swedish group lol)

O Berkley, Where Hart Thou?




This past weekend, M and I trekked down to Encinitas. L had called a few days ago asking if we'd like to go see the above titled show. We saw it once 2 years ago and throughly enjoyed it, so we were looking forward to seeing it again.

It was a gorgeous California day. We stayed at the Howard Johnson Inn in Encinitas which was very pleasant. M and I enjoyed a nice lunch at "Las Olas" a little Mexican shack next to the beach with yummy Margaritas and a great ocean view http://www.lasolasmex.com/


The show started at 8:00 PM, but people started lining up by 7:00. As usual, L reserved prime seats for us.
The show started promptly at 8:00. Berkley Hart were the stars of the show, as were the 7th Day Buskers. Other performers were Gregory Page, Lisa Sanders, Barbara Nesbitt, Eve Selis, Cathryn Beeks, and Han's daughter DK singing a duet with her father (Hart's daughter sang a duet with her father as well)


It was a fantastic show, with great music and a great turnout. The audience was really into it and everybody was having a wonderful time. The whole event was organized by L. She did an extraordinary job, and was rightfully recognized by Berkley Hart with a lovely bouquet of flowers and some very nice words of thanks and appreciation. I know it meant a lot to her and she was very surprised by it.

The next day Sunday, we drove down to San Diego to go see the new house L & Han were going to rent. It is a very nice house, with lots of possibilities. Afterwards, we had a nice chat with them at their gazebo.

It was a lovely weekend!
