WOW!  Today marks the 234th birthday of our great country! Imagine being around for that long.  It is definitely a cause to celebrate!   And that is just what happens in the darling little beach town of Cayucos.  Starting this morning with their infamous parade, then community pancake breakfast, sand sculptures on the beach, and finishing up the day with amazing fireworks from the pier.  You better get there early as town fills up and parking is hard to come by.

By the way, Morro Bay is also having a true fireworks show this year after their dismal lazer light show last year.  I’ll try to make it so I can give you a review.  I’m really glad to see that they are going more traditional with fireworks.  There is also the art in the park with some very incredible, creative artists showing their wares.  So come out and support them.

This 4th reminds me of what I love about living and working in Morro Bay and Cayucos on the California Central Coast. It is truly an amazing place to live. The people here are friendly and helpful. You can’t ask for a better mix of climates - from the hot north county to balmy SLO to cool beach towns - there is a climate for every mood. You can see just about any and every type of wildlife - whales, otters, deer, wild turkeys, opposums, eagles, red tail hawks, red tail foxes, even bears and mountain lions - the list in endless. Every community is unique which means you can find the perfect fit for your interests and desires.

Sure the overall state and national economy could be better. I’m ready and waiting for that to happen as I’m sure you are too. Eventually, things will turn around. They always do. As my father use to always tell me “Patience is a virtue”… (PS. He didn’t tell me that because I was a patience/calm person)… So I’m practicing my patience, grateful for the beauty surrounding me.

Come visit if you don’t live here and if you do, get out and breathe in our clean air and enjoy the beautiful place we live in!

See you soon!
