California, Dan Beaman, Friends, Princess Fire and Music, San Francisco

 We appreciate every opportunity big and small to hang out with Princess Fire and Music, otherwise known as Dan. He’s such a special person to both of us. We enjoyed his company on our trip to SF and it was divine. As always he was the perfect host.

Cliff House, San Francisco, June 2011

We were at the Sutro Bath ruins in San Francisco this lovely day. Rob loves the ruins and they are the inspiration of several of his art pieces. RobRough.com

This is one of those dreamy days, where it’s just he and I enjoying time together. So much of our time is spent with other people. We are always on the go, often running in directions that aren’t always parallel during the week. We enjoy our time together in the evening at the end of every day. But, I especially enjoy these times when we can just enjoy the company of each other without any outside distractions. He’s my favorite person in the world. He’s my favorite person ever. And, this picture will always remind of that.

Coming back to California; San Francisco

I love San Francisco. Although, I’ve admittedly never been to New York, I think San Francisco is the most beautiful city in America. It’s at once charming and cosmopolitan. I love the ocean breeze, the sun that peeks through the fog and all the landmarks that make San Francisco unique.

On our trip home for mom’s 75th birthday we stopped first at the Cliff House, where we had pop overs. These delicacies are amazing. They are rolls full of air and seem so light, you could eat a dozen. You could, I couldn’t – but they are THAT delicious.

Looking out over the ocean and seeing people run along the beach with their dogs and the birds circling above Rob and I were amazed at all the natural beauty that was just feet away. Amazing colors of flowers and greenery, some of it growing right out in between rocks. We were pondering, what it was about Texas that was so beautiful anyway?

Certainly Texas has it’s own charm, but I wouldn’t compare it to the natural beauty found in Golden Gate Park and all the surrounding communities of Northern California. And, when our bill came for our popovers, coffee and light bite – I was reminded. The beauty in Texas is found beyond the lazy banks of Lady Bird Johnson Lake, or the hills of West Austin or the charming rows of homes found in Hyde Park – it’s in the cost of living.

Visiting San Francisco is always a treat. I just would never be able to stomach living here at these prices. Sure, salaries are higher, sure, there are offsets. But, I have become an Austin person. It is the first time I’ve come “home” to California, and felt like a tourist.

Living the California Life in Texas

Rob and I live with our puppies Ganso and Zorra here in Austin Texas. We've been together since 1989 and enjoy spending time with family and friends. We moved to Texas from California in 2007 and it has been amazing transition from Sacramento to Austin. I hope we have an opportunity to get to see you/know you soon. Take care and be well.
