A Couple of Irish Beach Artists and Another Sun Goes Down.

Sunday afternoon we went to Jim and Lu Vickery's house to check out some of Jim's new paintings.

Later on, around 5 pm, we drove back up to the top of the hill for a little champagne and hors d'oeuvres at Gary and Allen's gorgeous house with a view.

The sun was bright and shining and hot out on the deck.

A nice fog bank was rolling in which means it's very hot inland.

We had many goodies.  Cheese and crackers, nuts, chips and dips of all sorts.

Don admiring one of Gary Bower's beautiful paintings.  Such a gorgeous palette.

Mingling and taking it all in.  What a house!

It was much too hot out front so we all migrated to the back deck which was much cooler with the shade from the tall pine trees.  This is the spot where we ate our delicious goodies and enjoyed our champagne.

We had a sliver of a view through the trees.

Shadows and reflections.

As the sun went down, it became too cool on the back deck so we made our way back out front to enjoy the view.

Oops, someone got a little too happy and lost their champagne glass over deck.

From here the group of us head down to Debbie and Jerry's place for dinner.
