Eye Candy

To entice people to start buying again, strip malls to upscale boutiques are welcoming sticky fingers. No not shoplifters, little kids. Shop keepers, who on an ordinary day may block stroller access are greeting children being pushed, pulled and carried. Their parents, themselves dressed up, although not as hyped up on sugar as thier little witches and monsters. I wouldn't take candy from mouths of babes, but the real treats at the Del Mar Plaza are over the top ocean views and eye candy on the top level.

Artisan Alley; Del Mar Art Center Gallery, see and learn more about local artists, Seewald's Gallery and Framing, master painter and photographer may expose a ghost or two in his fine art photography. Gary's Studio offers wearable art. Sewn into every Robert Graham shirt and often hiddern are the words Knowledge, Wisdom, Truth. Beach Boys wear them. The words, like art, may mean different strokes to different folks. Come and visit and discover Del Mar Plaza for yourself, where ocean views, seaside ambiance and eye candy is always free.

More free events October, November and December

Summer Of Love

Although it has been decades since I technically could be called a Mercy girl and moved from Maryland's Chesapeake Bay, I remain True to My School and a Surfer Girl. Humphrey's Concerts by the Bay, where I danced the night away to the Surfin' sounds of The Beach Boys, along with the Rady's Children's Hospital most generous donors and their guests enjoyed a Fun,Fun,Fun filled evening. Only sad note, one of the three Wilson brothers, all musical genius' is still alive. However, their cousin Mike Love and Bruce Johnston (member 1965 to present) led the Beach Boys and sound true to the original vocal harmonies that made them unique back in 1961. For almost a half century,the craze that hit the land like a tsunami and spread across the globe, and is a mainstay in Southern California culture. Love and romance and surf and cars, (smart cars more than muscles cars) appeal to the youngest teen to the most seasoned fan in the audience. The list of songs played, " only a computer printout" explained Johnston, until he and charismatic front man signed more than a piece of paper-a peace of The Summer of Love.





Love's son accompanies the band and Liam, his grandson, turned 5, coincidentally the the same day and shares the same name of another well known and very brave 10 year old patient to Rady's Children Hospital. Look for the Liam's Fund Surgical Suite coming to the New Patient Care Pavilion and read all about him and Liam's Team members.
