Danno you are very welcome. Dan hasn't finished all the boxing yet. We hope to start shipping all the Hot Tub Hula Girls in waves this week.

========================

Wish List #6 progress report. I am back to glazing.

But first I want to share the Birthday trip I planned for Dan. I had magical points for a two night stay at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame. Magical because I earned these 10 years ago and forgot about them. They contact me via email to say they would expire at the end of March. So we had to go.

Before we left we went to lunch with friends who had found the perfect birthday card for Dan.

I went to an estate sale without Dan. I bought 400 records for $30 without looking at them. He had so much fun going through and finding some he liked. He ended up with 55 and the rest went to Goodwill.

The next day we were off to the Oakland Zoo. This ended up being Dan's favorite part of the trip.

After the zoo we went to Trader Vic's for his birthday lunch.

We checked into our room and didn't leave. The next morning we went here.

We enjoyed our time in the academy. We spent the rest of the day going to thrift shops in Burlingame. No luck.

The next morning we set off on an adventure. Neither of us had been to Stinson Beach. We didn't know if there was a town, a park or nothing at all. We left San Francisco via the Golden Gate Bridge and

the further we drove the foggier it got. We were lucky during our trip that it didn't rain.

After an hour we broke out of the fog and found the coast again.

We made it.

This is downtown!

We choose this restaurant for lunch.

Where we sat we could see a rushing creek.

My birthday boy. Until August we are the same age.

We walked over to see the beach. It was very cold and windy so we didn't stay long.

We made a stop to see the Fort only it wasn't a stone fort it was an army base.

We could see the city in the distance.

Next we went to search for treasure in San Mateo. I found a romance thriller set on Easter Island in 1903 and Dan found a record.

We stopped at my favorite restaurant in San Mateo. The Fish Market by the river.

It was too cold to eat outside which is where I prefer.

The next morning we left for home. We went on different freeways with plans to thrift and antique shop.

In Pleasanton there is a tiki booth at the largest antique store. I just got two shot glasses from her booth.

At a thrift store Dan found two Hawaiian records.

Then back on the road. In another town after a search through a very large antique store Dan found these shakers. They are a tall version that he didn't have in his collection. Lucky strike when that's all they had and we wanted them.

We stopped at a Mexican Restaurant for lunch. The bathroom was very pretty.

We have been back home for a few days with Dan boxing and my glazing. He had a fun birthday.

Cheers, Wendy
