Jack Shrimp...

I was a little leery of heading into Jack Shrimp at nearly 9Pm. It was a little taverny looking and I had my kids with me. However, once inside I was very pleasantly surprised to meet one of the loveliest people. Our waitress (Jack if you read this... give her a raise!) was one of those people that was born under a happy star or something... so charming, so helpful and pleasant. There was even a fantastic kids menu. When we went to order I was thrilled that you could order the large dinner plate of stuff or the smaller (but not small) lunch size and pay those prices respectively.. Why doesn't everyone do that? And if all that wasn't enough to thrill you, the food was really yummy. To top it all off, Jack sat down with us and it turns out, he's a guy from Idaho who lives in California because he wanted to find a career where he could eat good food and jump in the ocean everyday and go to the movies at night. Whatever he's doing, it's working out great. Thanks for the delicious dinner Jack.. See you next year.

Roger's Gardens in Costa Mesa...

These orchids are huge & they're real!
Dahlias the size of dinner plates.
I'll take one each of the pink doo dads... please...
The birds & butterflies reminded me of my sister Alicia...
Blue delphinium! Hooray!
Hydrangea garden...
Pink & Red! Geranium HEaVEN!
If you ever find yourself in Costa Mesa... don't miss this little bit of heaven.. I wish that you could all smell the scent of these many flowers all together! What a wonder...

Rope...


I had never seen this classic. .. diabolical bad guys, great plot and made for a great discussion afterword.
