Big Bear for July 4th, Magic within Tea and Writing

I've been working on my loose leaf tea shelf. I have more tea then a person needs, but there is something magical in boiling hot water and pouring it over tea leaves. My mom knew someone that could read tea leaf futures. The woman gave mom her special tea set to do it herself. Now there is me! I don't know how futures are read with loose leaf tea, but I love to think about my future as I do my little rituals. 

Sue suggested that I look at this website where prisoners train dogs for adoption. Honestly, the prices for these dogs are almost $300 less than what other places are asking. As someone who doesn't have much money, I am willing to do this for a new best friend. 

I got a chance to finally see Big Bear. The road up there is so incredible winding. I'd be afraid to do this with snow. My hotel was right across the street from this little Bar and Grill type place that played live music. There is no cover charge, so I went in and sat down and got drinks and listened to music. Oh, and I took Mozart.

Later, I saw the Village area and that was so fun. I bought more things than I needed too. One thing I got for Mozart was extremely expensive, but he hadn't been really wanting to eat, so I think splurging on a snack isn't too bad. I had to hold him a lot! People walked by laughing because Mozart just falls asleep and I was rocking him. I guess instincts, right?

I think most of my photos this weekend were of Mozart. I can't find one photo of just something extremely random. I also took tons of photos for people who needed someone to take a photo for them. I love taking photos so I was in my happy place. 

The place I stayed at was okay. I might would stay again just because it was so close to everything, but there are so many places to see out here in California so I don't know if I'd go back to Big Bear soon. 

I bought two monster shirts: Michael Myers playing soccer and then one with Jason playing soccer. I don't really watch soccer any more so I don't know if these are good teams. Michael Myers is wearing a Brasil shirt and I can't tell who Jason is playing for. Steven said Brasil is a great team so yeah! I'm going to have to start watching soccer again. 

I went into a New Age shop but they didn't have what I was looking for. I did find a shop that mixed scents so I went in and got this scent that makes me happy. It's "birthday cake/almond oil" mix and it smells so wonderful. Really just makes my spirit purr. 

Writing Update:

K.B.C. This monster needs chains! So I wrote some chains into the story. Also realized, I need to work on the fight scene. There isn't enough blood and ripped body parts. 

Oh! I just got a super cool idea for a story. Can't really discuss it yet. But I need to write it down, because my last great idea I had about video stores sort of slid straight out of my head. That'll teach me about writing my ideas down as soon as I have them.
