Notes From the Coast

All Summer In a Day

The past few months have been action packed. I didn't have a chance to document or record nearly enough of this amazing summer.

One night Natalie arrived on my doorstep with friends and bicycles.

They rode to San Francisco all the way from Portland!

Natalie's visit overlapped with the Fourth of July. Here are my neighbors and I kabobbing.


And I baked a cake!



Movie in the Park night exists in SF as well.




Jake Ryan has lots of fans in SF.



Dryfus got a silly haircut



Apparently, I go hiking now.




This is The Bay Area.

Do you see the city?


I've developed strong feelings for California artichokes.


And mussels.



Magical things always happen in San Francisco. Like the time Tammy and Megan came to visit on the same day!




Ah...just like the good old days at Town House 10!


And then Danielle appeared!



Chicago came to town.


AT&T Park is The Four Seasons of baseball parks



Even though there was no Old Style, we did our best to represent.


Jon and Roger gave me my first Moon Cake.


Moon Cakes are traditionally given during the Chinese Moon Festival. They represent good luck, fortune and friendship.

Hooray for friends and neighbors!
