Another First for Chiso







Well Kris had a Chinese face reading class all day in Novato so the hounds and I made a day of driving the Point Reyes /Tomales Bay. Stopped at the Rouge and Noir cheese factory after the curvy roads cause a bit of puppy puke. I found an open field and got them out for some romping....Tall grass for acres, dog heaven.. But Allie came back limping.. So we had to throttle back a bit for the rest of the day. We had a snack at the Point Reyes visitor center and then wandered up highway 1 to Marshal and Chiso got her first taste of salt water,,,,thankfully not too much. Frisbee at the bays edge for a while and then off to Dillon beach where they both got their fill of sand and surf. Totally fun day. We went on back to Novato and picked Kris up and motored home with sleepy dogs dreaming of salt air and sandy beaches...Cant wait for next trip.

honestly watchng Oscars/multitasking





Our weekend was a nice balance of chores and fun. Started with a long walk on the river with the girls Friday night. Saturday we headed up the hill, to Penn Valley to work on Margaret's entertainment center. I really have little to contribute, so I sit and chat, while Rich works cords, wires and such. The best thang about Margaret is...even though I see her almost everyday...it always feels like I haven't seen her for months and we are never at a loss of things to talk about. Rich had hoped to share a computer with them but unfortunately it crapped out up there :( so he worked on their computer and blueray. We also enjoyed Mike's killar margaritas. Then off to Maria's for dinner-oh muy gawd sooooo goood. It was a long drive home but worth every minute of it!!!

Sunday was for chores and everybody was loving the sunshine! And with the extra time we commited to making a gourmet meal...beef tenderloin with gorgonzola, pasta with basil, arugula and roasted grape tomatoes and finally a mushroom salad that was out of this world. So all I can say is Burp and have be got leftovers for the week :D
