Love it . . . Keep it California Edition

Welcome to Love it Keep it, where I chat about things I’m lovin’ and keepin’…this week is the California edition, because, well, I’m in California! My job has sent me out here for a conference and to do some work…which is wonderful because I’m from CA and love the chance to catch up with family and friends. I’m in Southern CA for a few days and then I’m heading to San Francisco for more work stuff….and shopping with my mom! Anyway, let’s start love it keep it.

First up, Lucille’s original BBQ sauce. So amazing! This is the best BBQ sauce around and I have loved it for years. The only problem is that I can’t get it in Michigan. So I’ve decided that anyone who comes to visit me from California must bring at least one bottle of sauce. Seems fair, right?

And what would love it keep it be without a mention of In-N-Out? This is the best burger place ever. They have locations in California, Nevada, and Arizona. I introduced In-N-Out to the husband during a California trip a few years ago and he is now obsessed. He wants me to bring him home a burger and fries every time I go to California. Love it!

Up next is Shoreline Village….a spot in Long Beach that I have been going to since I was a little girl. They have a carousel that I always had to ride. The whole pace is so cute and charming….and right on the water. Love it!

Aw, Nordstrom. Now, we have a Nordstrom in Michigan but it is about 2 hours away so I never get there. It is always a nice shopping experience when you go to Nordstrom…I miss it. And they have a great sale twice a year. Love it, keep it!

And finally, this is my cat Pepper. He is 16 years old and still a sweetheart. He can’t hear anymore but loves to sit in your lap and purr. Love him, keep him!

Thanks for stopping by. What are you lovin’ and keepin’ this week?

« Wordless Wednesday…I guess I’ve always loved Goldens!
Greetings from San Francisco »

    Awww, enjoy that sunny California weather!! I heard rumors that we might be getting an In-N-Out in Dallas, weird, no???

    Your cat is adorable, too.

    Enjoy San Fran, too… I'm a little jealous that you're in California for work. They don't even let me go across the street, lol.
