IN CASE YOU WERE WONDERING

We had a memorable weekend visit with A & K and Gracie. It was full and busy with lots of family time.

On Saturday, we were able to take a group photo with my parents (the great-grandparents) and Auntie M. Our good friends, Larry and Debbie came by to visit and Debbie graciously offered to take some photos of the family.

Here is how that went down. First we had to get everyone in the room and situated, of course.

And make sure Gracie girl was a happy camper, too!

We were trying to figure out how to get us all in the shot (and being our silly selves).
But we finally got everyone in the room and in the photo -- we were still laughing over our silliness, though....it's hard having so many comedians in one family. But that is a burden we are willing to bear. Okay, this shot is much better...there is not as much smirking going on in this one.

Hmmmm.....Grace may not be as impressed with our comedic shennanigans!

That's okay, she'll get used it. Eventually.

Or maybe this is her own attempt at being funny! Either way, I think it's pretty darn cute.

Thank you again, Debbie for acting as our photographer!

MY VIEWS

It's raining again today. Here is my view from my office window this afternoon, looking up toward Balboa Park.
I get to work before seven in the morning, and on clear summer days, this is the often

the view that I arrive to see.

But when it comes to my job...well, this is my other view....

And here is what I would rather be seeing....and this weekend I will!

Counting down to Friday!

THE FUN TIMES GUIDE AND THE PEEPS BEHIND THIS SITE!

Shoutin' out to Lynnette and Jim of The Fun Times Guide!!

We cannot wait to move to TN and spend more time with you ! You guys are the best! You have helped us so much in finding our way to Middle Tennesse!

FRIDAY NIGHTS HERE AND THERE

Tonight we went to Sardina's, which is one of our favorite places to go on a Friday night and hang out, have a drink, something to eat and relax after a long week. Sardina's is a cozy italian restaurant with great casual ambience, superb food and a wonderful happy hour menu. We love to sit at the bar (with big screen TV's, friendly attentive bartenders and waitstaff) and share an appetizer and salads for dinner. I order a glass of wine but Bruce prefers their IPA on tap. We have been going there on alternating Friday nights long enough now that we're "regulars".
Tonight, while we were there, we were talking about how we would miss Sardinas and then we remembered a restaurant in Clarksville, Tennessee that we wanted to try but it was so busy, we were not able to get into on a Friday night when we were out there visiting. Despite the fact that it was 9:30 at night, the place was packed! Where you ask? It's the Black Horse Pub and Brewery and we're looking forward to eating there after we move.

We have eaten at a lot of wonderful restaurants in Nashville. But, while I am talking about casual fun restaurants, Big River Grille & Brewing Works on Broadway in downtown Nashville, comes to mind. We enjoyed good food, great service, billard tables, big screen TV's and ice cold drinks! On our last trip to Nashville, we ate there with our friends Steve and Pam, before attending a Predator hockey game.

So even though we will miss our Friday nights at Sardina's, we know that we will find favorite places for our Friday nights once we move to Tennessee, too! And we really can't wait!

CATCHING UP AGAIN

It's been over a week since I posted anything. Of course, right off the bat, I have to post a couple of recent photos of Grace, who will be 4 weeks old tomorrow!

And who in one week, will be HERE for a visit with us! I moved my rocker into the living room last night. I know it will get lots of use by Memaw next weekend!
