Lazy Day with a View

It is hard to imagine ever leaving a house like this one.  It has radiant floor heating, an indescribable view, a kitchen equipped with every appliance, a gas fireplace you turn on with a remote, etc., etc.  We imagined it with perfect weather, however.  However, in atmospheric river conditions this is a great place to hole up.

We each chose a large comfortable chair and blanket to enjoy while we drank coffee and read the New York Times on our devices.  We finally pulled ourselves up to standing positions and went in search of food.  

We ate at a restaurant beside the tiny runway of the Half Moon Bay airport. The food was not great but luckily we were famished.  No planes landed while we ate our breakfasts.  Then we headed into the adorable little downtown area of Half Moon Bay.  When Gayle and I travel together we often poke around in card shops.  I have a card drawer that is organized by Bar Mitzvah, Baby Congratulations, Birthdays, Encouragement, etc.  I enjoy sending cards and I like it to be the perfect card.  Gayle (luckily) enjoys having a card shopping companion who is in no hurry.  After two card shops and a store of African artifacts we were done in.  

We headed back to our perfect home when we saw that, in spite of the gray, wet day, there were kite surfers and wind surfers enjoying the windy conditions.  We pulled off to the side of the highway looking for the perfect spot to watch. It is such a delight to watch. 

We came home to take naps and then started the same puzzle that we didn't get to finish in Monterey due to the power outage.  This was the day we were to meet my son, Matt, and his fiancee, Melissa, in the Tenderloin District of San Francisco for an omakase sushi meal/experience.  Gayle has never experienced such a delight.  However, Matt and Melissa came home from an international vacation with Covid.  I had called them this morning and their tests showed that they were still contagious.  We were disappointed not to see them but we just enjoyed the perfect house, watching comedians on Netflix until we headed off to our perfect bedrooms.
