SF just after sunset from the top of Twin Peaks, at a spot given the name "Acid Rock" in the 60s.
 
 



In the backyard of Gordon and Merle's beautiful home, which Sadie and I fantasized about living in for more than a week.
 
 



Green is the color of fall in SF.
 
 
 

One of Gordon's immaculately presented collections of stuff that no one else wants.

Apparently the painter double checked to make sure that Gordon really wanted to paint his kitchen this color. He really did.

 
Still life with Gordon.

Hanging on the wall is one of his best-received illustrations, playing on the phrase, "my dogs are barking."
 
 

A Japantown stationery store had Sadie captivated.
 
A deceptively gentle looking Frosty puts the sleeper hold on Gordon.
 



On a clear day, from Gordon and Merle's back porch, we could see the ocean and the Marin Headlands across the bay to the north. Here, the sun couldn't quite burn off the fog, which the plants didn't mind.

We didn't want to leave.






Stay tuned for future installments in this series, including "the wedding," "the honeymoon," and "the downpayment."
