My lucky Friday the 13th

The wonderful secret about the northern California coast is that sometimes the best weather is in the fall.

Please excuse the quality of the camera-phone photos … but I think they capture the gorgeousness of this day.

I walked to the beach at Mavericks.

Then I walked the mandala on my way back to the car.

Half Moon Bay looked especially green today.


I had salmon and chips for lunch, then I wandered down Main Street, battling the impulse to buy several unnecessary-but-cute items. I did succumb to the lure of pumpkin mousse cake.

Now back in my room relaxing. I brought a skirt to wear to Not Your Mother’s Book Club this evening … but I wonder if I could get away with jeans? A skirt says, “It’s not every day I am invited to appear on a panel of five YA authors at a premier West Coast independent bookstore. I will acknowledge this honor by dressing up a little.” But jeans say, “We’re comfortable and cute. She writes for teens, not insurance adjusters!”

Beautiful! Have fun at Not Your Mothers... I'd probably wear jeans, but that's just me. I feel like an imposter whenever I try to dress up. What kind of imposter, I don't know.

Gorgeous setting! I love that someone created a labrynth in the sand...wish so much I could have walked it, too.

I hope you'll come back to tell us all about your NYMBC event (including, but not limited to, what you wore).

Lovely photos! I know you were happy to see HMB again! (Such an intoxicating view.)

So did you wear jeans or skirt? Can't wait for more details!

You are lucky, you missed some truly disgusting weather here yesterday -- wet wet wet, and then overnight and this morning cold cold cold. I'm jealous! Your getaway (I saw you later post too) sounds like a really great time!
