We got reacquaint with Mika this Sunday as she will start her studies at UC Berkeley. We choose Kitchen Story.
Mika Brunch
Oakland Zoo 2022
We haven’t been there since 2009 so what better time to go than now. The usual obstacles, fences, bad light and sleepy models. Not to mention squirrels & crows that think part of the zoo experience.

Bad Ass Coffee
Stopped by to pick up some coffee beans and found the decaf named “half ass”. I thought that was funny.
Peruvian Pusit Pasta
Sandy does a fabulous Peruvian Pasta dish. She typically uses whatever protein leftovers we have in the frig. Tonight she used the Pusit (squid) from Sundays lunch at Gerry’s.
Pilipino Puud
We brought the Lees to Gerry’s Grill for a Filipino lunch. We haven been there in so long and it was just as I remembered. Although dammit I didn’t get a photo of Tom & Keira 😤
They were nice enough to bring over a box of Senorita Breads afterwards 😘
New Brood 2022
This morning we finally have 8 new duckies. We’ve been waiting all month. Of course as soon as they jumped into the water they were attacked by another Momma.
In the end they didn’t make it past the 48 hour mark, which is typical for inexperienced mothers. That’s why we never get too attached.
Harrigan Goodbye
Paul & Brenda are moving to NV and today is their farewell party they asked we keep it simple, so a 🍕 party was called for. I forgot to take any photos😤. As a parting gift they gave Sandy a Meyer lemon tree… and I got a bag of dirt.
Underneath the bag of dirt was a bottle of scotch.
Treasure Island
Today I wanted to checkout Treecraft Distillery on TI, but 1st lunch at Mersea.
San Diego June 2022
We took a trip down south to celebrate Ysa/Brannon engagement and Maxie’s Graduation.
While Sandy was at church Tawny & I stumbled on to a cool breakfast spot.
Empty Nester
The Robin’s nest was found abandoned today. Perhaps it was that squirrel raid that scared her off or the duck nest was getting too much attention.
