Had to go to Porterville the other day. Stopped off at Traver Cafe 99 for dinner and to check out some of their animals.
That son of a biscuit almost got my camera!
Road Trip
A Late B-Day Celebration
Today the kids bought me lunch at Sakoon in Mountain View. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a long time. Of course I forgot to take a single photo. Thanks to Tami, Chris, Rick, Jen & of course Sandy.
Honolulu March 2010
Spring maintenance due. Weather not so good.
I did manage to bring back a SPAM cookbook for Sandy.
I’m a 49er
I finally learned after 49 years to play it smart and take the day off from work on my birthday. We were visited by a pair of Canada Geese in our backyard panhandling for food. I don’t know if that was some kind of omen. We had a great breakfast at Ole’s right here in downtown Alameda.
For lunch we ventured to the west side and tried Tu Tai Vietnamese. Sandy had the fish & I had the grilled pork sandwich.
Sandy made a salmon pasta dish for dinner, yum.
March Header
Sandy took the above pano at the SF capital building, which is the blogs March header. You can see Rhea, Ysabela & Alex on the right.
Clam man
BTW Sandy made Linguine & Claim Sauce last night… I’m so lucky.
Cheese it
I had a trip to Sonora today and I turned off the road immediately when I saw the Oakdale Cheese Factory. I bought myself a bag of Gouda Cheese Curds. As I strolled out back I saw a number of of farm animals. You think they make llama cheese? I don’t wanna be the one who has to milk her. BTW I tried to stare that goat down but I’m no George Clooney.
Late Feb Sat AM
Yesterday I woke up early to water the plants and noticed our royal star magnolia tree is blooming. Later we had brunch at the new Mexican restaurant in town, Otaez. Sandy had the 3 taco (lengua & fish) plate & I had the huevos con chorizo.
Flora
Woke up this morning to find a foggy Sunday. I love days like this, so I picked up my S90 and just shot some stuff in the backyard.
Hummer
As I was out this morning watering the plants this stupid Humming Bird kept taunting me. So I shot him… 105 times. That’s not an easy task as those little b*stards are really fast.
