Puddles!!!

This morning the rain came down pretty hard and I still had the task of walking the dog. It was the perfect opportunity to test out my new rain boots!!!

I bought them on sale at Sports Basement and they’re awesome!  Here’s a link to them if you wanted details.

I took the dog and the waterproof camera outside for some rainy day fun.  I guess I was the only one actually having fun. Dog was super confused by all the jumping and wading through the deep puddles.

Sunday Supper is back!

After a long hiatus, Sunday Supper was reinstated last night with short ribs and German chocolate cake.

The Sokol-Juns came over and Koa got an automatic carrot dispenser for the evening.

The short ribs were flavorful but could have used one more hour in the oven.

Michelle made a German chocolate cake and it was scrumptious.

Oh yeah, I just discovered that Jack actually knows Jes’ name. He was sitting at the dining table taunting him with “Uncle Jesse Uncle Jesse!” This kid is the only one not scared of the husband.

Saturday Solo Outing

Jesse had sailing lessons on Saturday so I took a walk down to the Ferry Plaza. It’s still one of my favorite places in the city. The Farmers’ Market on Saturdays makes it even more exciting.

Did you know that brussel sprouts grow on a big stalk?!

And check out this bouquet of mushrooms!

Outside there was a kid who looked to be about 9 years old playing his trumpet. The sign in the box says, “Thank you for helping me to take lessons and develop myself as a musician. Gabriel Angelo.” Remember that name.  He might be famous in 10-15 years.

On my way home, I went on a mini photo safari and then plopped myself down on one of the piers overlooking the bay for a snack.

I had my favorite potato croquette and watched the sailboats go by in hopes that Jes and his crew would sail by. No such luck but I had a tasty treat.
