Balboa Island....



Went down to Balboa Island to help a friend get settled into her new little place there...it is such a quaint little village of ocean homes, and while I can't remember alot of things in childhood, I do recall when we used to go down there to my uncle's house on the island, and hang out...of course, we were to be seen and not heard around them...they also had a yacht and when we would go out on it, my aunt would always have Cheetos she would put out for the "adults" and we weren't allowed to touch them...just savor the wish that we could have one...she wasn't very nice at that point....definitely not one of my favorites, eating Cheetos in front of children and not sharing!! The thought of it....but the island was fun...I later stayed with some college friends there...we had a great time too...saw Buddy Ebson watering his yard...but he didn't look like a hillbilly then...

I look forward to going back for more visits in the coming months...can't wait until it is foggy and rainy...my kind of day!!
