No blogs for the next few days as we are off to Long Beach and Tofino. Will have lots of food, art and adventure to write about when we get back! Have a great week everyone!
Basket fun times
TC with her larger avatar. She doesn't much care for it.
Bags, baskets, even old silverware boxes converted into art: she loves to be in things.
It’s been such a beautiful September; ultimate Indian Summer! So yesterday, after dropping off some photo files at View Art, we went for a long walk along the waterfront. Magical day, hot and sultry: lots of dogs out walking and frolicking. Our goal was Fisherman’s Wharf for soft serve twist in a waffle cone, our first one of the summer, and probably last! We are so full of appreciation for this beautiful place where we live.

Mmmm, soft serve: chocolate-vanilla twist!

Sometimes our little doll likes to hide under blankets. As she is so tiny, you can’t really tell she is under there. I’m so afraid I will sit on her! So, we put her little felted avatar as a marker if we notice her make a move under the blankets.
Little feet give away the hiding place.
Not sure why I didn’t think to bring our camera to the dinner party at K’s & R’s place last night. The lovely Margaret, visiting from Texas, cooked up a Tex-Mex feast beyond compare! Tostadas piled high with delectable morsels, baked stuffed peppers and baked enchiladas, beans and rice, and for dessert: home-made pralines which were served with coconut milk ice cream. We all ate too much, especially GJ who had two huge plates. It was all so good. Thanks Margaret for the marvelous treat!
Since I did not bring the camera, I took a picture today of two lovely peppers Rebecca gave me on friday when I was at her garden along side two of the pralines we were able to take home from the party last night. It’s taken all my resolve not to eat them today!
Two peppers similar to the ones Margaret stuffed and baked last night as well as two of the pralines which made such a nice dessert.
It’s so wonderful to have a young cat again. She’s so full of fun and mischief.
Didn't pick this up at the local market!
Had a meeting the other day at Bean Around The World, one of our fine Chinatown coffee establishments. Can’t resist their Peppermint Hot Chocolate. Usually made with Silkroad Westcoast Peppermint Tea, this day I think it may have had peppermint syrup as it was sweeter than usual – but still delicious and beautifully presented.
Yum!
TC decides to make her own sculpture. (She really did bunch the rug up on her own!)
"Just a little adjustment here..."
At the height of the sculpting, TC gets the crazy eye.
"Yes, I’m satisfied with this; I think it is done."
