fancy food truck


 There is a handy lunch spot a few doors down from the Salvation Army where I did some smart shopping yesterday. A Mexican food truck that features tablecloths, flowers (!) and a decent veggie burrito All part of a very pleasant neighborhood walk.

lunch at the Ferry Plaza


 Susan was down from Davis yesterday and we hopped in Lyft to enjoy the sunshine and crowds down at The Embarcadero. We had delicious salads for lunch at A16 and did a bit of walking as we caught up on each others' lives. There was a bit of "whatever happened to so-and-so?" but we both mostly like to live in the now. (And we are hell bent on staying positive.) A very good Sunday.

clever name, lovely lunch



 So nice to see Sylvia again (bottom right) and thanks to Mr. and Ms. Blogmaid for driving to/fro Mill Valley and for treating us to an excellent lunch of salad, fries, pizza. For my hundreds of out-of-town readers (joke). we are located here almost right next to Mount Tamalpais, usually just called Mount Tam. Such a nice day, gratitude abounds once more.

once more with Wayne




 Yesterday I returned solo to the Legion of Honor to see the Wayne Thiebaud exhibit before it closes soon. If possible I like to go twice as I usually miss something or I want to study a piece that I really liked the first time. I'm so glad I did this, I had a fine time and a lot to think about.

friends, art and food






 Sarah and Sam were kind enough to invite me to the Helen Berggruen artist exhibit yesterday, I love her work and they are friends of hers up in Napa. That was very special. And THEN...talk about special. We went to Zuni for a spectacular dinner. The roast chicken was as glorious as ever and then all the extras and the delightful atmosphere. It was such a wonderful time. I am so fortunate. And still full...

music has no borders


 This documentary on Prime was a pleasant break from detective stories and the news last night. From 2020 when Linda Ronstadt and Jackson Browne joined a bus tour to Mexico for music and dancing. Linda and the Mockingbirds is positive and refreshing.
