All Paraded Out

Monday night in my role as Queen we paraded in Benicia. Today it was back to the Grandma role with Happy Times Preschool in Orinda. Thereby proving... red hats are useful for more than one kind of event.

Mill Valley

There's a cool and funky little restaurant in Mill Valley called Mama's Royal Cafe. We went there today to hear another one of our favorite people, Caroline Dahl who boogies like no one else we know. We were pleasantly surprised to sit amid such an eclectic collection of "art" and gorge ourselves on amazing amounts of Sunday brunch food. We even asked for a side order of sarcasm and abuse (yes they are on the menu) which the waitress kindly informed us that they had already served up in huge quantities today... I find that hard to believe.

Waxing Moon

I couldn't stand it. I had to know. The moon is waxing today. Here's a link to moon phases.

Not So Dumb Afterall

We fought through rush-hour get-out-of-town-for-the-holiday-weekend masses of traffic, all the way saying this has to be the dumbest thing we have ever done to see Tom. But with good fortune our luck changed once we arrived in Vacaville and got a prime parking space just outside the venue. Here we are with a few new Tom Rigney fans. The concert was absolutely wonderful... a great crowd, cool summer breezes, and a clear shot of the waning (or is it waxing) moon?

Red Hats and Corkscrews

Ok it's still hot. So we deal with it. We go out and do what we have to do anyway. First up today... lunch with some red hatters from Modesto. Then a little shopping. I found a stash of corkscrews that might be of interest to big brother... he is the master of all corkscrew collectors you know. Tonight we will top it of with a little... well, you should know by now if you read this blog... Tom Rigney !!!

Tom

We love Flambeau. Look here for our front row seats. We follow them everywhere. Just a bunch of harmless old lady groupies we are! But we know they love us anyway. Even if Tom tells the audience that some people could use some new fashion sense.

Preschool Graduation Party

Ok which one is Little J? He wouldn't by chance be the little boy on the far right who can't seem to sit up quite straight now would he? Anyway, notice he is sitting. He did sit through the entire year end presentation. He was good. Really good.

Now, about the lady with the red hat. No she is not a red hatter... she is Little J's teacher and just happens to be wearing a very stylish red hat. No wonder I like her!

Little J and Little I

My View

The view from my office is changing. Some call this progress.

Who's Going Up

Is this an elevator or a restroom?

18 Years

In recognition of 18 years sobriety DH presented me with this card this morning.

And the inside sentiment is...

"You're going to fry anyway."
