Kitties, a new restaurant and hiking

We're still in the slow process of finishing up here, where the ceiling was damaged, and the cupboard is still empty. I stashed inside some of the fun crinkly paper that wraps some of our delivered goods, paper I only keep because Evie loves to play in it.
She found it.
And she made her own nest.
Awwww!
Oh dear.
My solution to keep Seb from eating the wrong food is no longer working. He's figured out that he CAN jump onto the dresser! So now I have to put the food away in my sock drawer, then get it out, then put it away, then get it out, then put it away...
And all the while, I'm doing the same thing in the kitchen with his pricey prescription urinary health food, as the younger cats seem to love it.

Seb went back to the vet for a checkup, because he's turning 15 this week. His kidney numbers are off, and he's been diagnosed with stage 2 chronic kidney disease. Not urgent yet; there are four stages. 
We're also more closely monitoring his weight, for the opposite reason you'd guess. He's actually lost over four pounds since August, which is a lot. If he keeps losing weight, the vet will want to do diagnostics on why, in case something is really wrong. Not sure what we'll do in that case, considering his age. But, I will say, he's acting fine!
On Sunday, Stace really wanted to take us all out to eat. We tried out a new-to-us place called RJM Grill on Main Street in Newhall. It's been there a little over a year. It was nice and quiet inside - no blaring music or tons of people talking, so Cora liked it. 
And our food was excellent! Great taste and value. We'll be back!
Actually, we'll be back, the following day! Ha!
Stace wasn't feeling well and stayed home from work on Monday, so after we took Violet to school, we went over and took advantage of a deal they have on breakfast burritos - only $6 before noon! It was definitely large enough to share. We walked it over to Hart Park and dined al fresco.
On Thursday, we met Violet's teacher at Golden Valley Ranch for a hike. 
There was a little water here and there, and we saw this string of frog/toad eggs near the rock (it's actually under a little water).
