Violet and I went in the day we heard the news, to get drinks and spend my Christmas gift card. We got syrups, so I'll have a taste of Honu for the next few months at home.
For posterity's sake - the sweet "dogs of Honu" photo string.
Violet and I actually went a few times...
We've had funny weather - tons of rain, then a heat spell. Our last tomato bush was covered in flowers so I made Stace leave it when he cleared out the rest of the garden. We returned from Washington to a ton of ripe cherry tomatoes!
Also this week, my parents took Violet with them to the Ronald Reagan Library to see an exhibit on Cowboys in Hollywood. And, my debit card was compromised, so I had to replace it. Now for the hassle of redoing all the recurring expenses that are hooked to it! And, speaking of expenses, we had the Audi in for some work. Ugh, as they say, you might be able to afford the higher-end car, but can you afford the maintenance and repairs?
Over the weekend, Stace helped Christina finish some bigger projects, while Colleen and I helped as well, as she got the Oasis Resource Center ready for company. On Tuesday afternoon, Finally Family Homes hosted a grand opening of the resource center, with media and local dignitaries. It was well-attended, and a tribute to all our friend has done to assist former foster youth in our area.
Our friend Brad was in town for work, and it happened to be his birthday. So, we took him out to the Local, and caught up on life for him, Emily and the kids in Texas.
Friends!
Winston tried to jump up onto the kitchen counter, tripped on a plate that was too near the edge, and brought down the plate, fruit bowl, and himself. It was very loud.
Bits of plate spread far and wide - against the far bookcase, into the playroom, etc.
Also that day, I got to clear up cat vomit because someone likes to eat plastic bags. Sigh!
