Rust-Oleum painting project

One of my many painting projects lately is to restore my old rubbermaid plastic chairs.
Puzzles, puzzles and more puzzles!

This is a collection of puzzles I’ve put together so far this year. Some take longer than others depending on shading, color, shapes and sizes.
The Melt / 8849 Villa La Jolla Drive Suite 305 San Diego, CA 92037

I’ve been looking forward to my scheduled lunch at The Melt for weeks now! Today was finally the day! They’ve added some new menu items in celebration of National Cheeseburger Day.
Stars & Stripes Carwash Detail / 5716 Miramar Road San Diego, CA 92121

Normally we hand wash, vacuum and detail our car ourselves about once per month. More often if needed. Since our parking space is outside the car gets more dirt and grim on it. The morning dew just makes things worse.
Snoice / 7420 Clairemont Mesa Boulevard San Diego, CA 92111

After running an errand across the street at George’s camera, we were thrilled to see Snoice in our neck of the woods! Needless to say we did a u-turn and drove into the parking lot. This strip mall does offer a fair amount of parking.
San Diego Trolley. The Green line from Fashion Valley to SDSU

We decided to do a day trip using public transit from our house to SDSU. This way my daughter would be more familiar with all the in’s and out’s in preparation for her college commute each day.
Ember & Rye / 7447 Batiquitos Drive Carlsbad, CA 92011

This was my first visit to Ember & Rye with chef Richard Blais at the helm. Such a touching tribute to name the place after his daughters Ember & Riley.
