Wish I Were Here


Now that we've been socked with winter frigidity in full force, my thoughts keep turning back to the Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, where Andy and I spent our honeymoon almost eight years ago. We got married at the end of December, but the weather was balmy and beautiful. Oh, to dip my toes in the ocean, eat breakfast overlooking the beach, to see sunny skies! Here is the happy place in my head for Ohio's dreary winter. Where is yours?

If you're looking for a good movie, Some Like It Hot, starring Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon, and Tony Curtis was filmed at The Del. A funny old flick about two men who accidentally witness a mob murder and have to dress up and join a women's band to escape.

I remember once upon a time you being against blogs and now that I see you have one, it is one of my favorites! You always have such interesting things to share. I love Some Like it Hot, hilarious! That does look like a place I want to be. As much as I love these frigid temps, a dip in the ocean couldn't be more welcome.

Tempe Arizona. It's November 22nd, and 80 degrees. You know you want to move back. Don't deny it.
