Friday Morning

Yesterday morning we woke up early and hiked Pena Adobe Park.  It was a good day.

The weather was warmer than we both expected and ended up stripping off layers and cramming into the backpack.  

The hillsides were shimmering golden straw.

Find Mike.

Here he comes.

Graffiti art.

A little bit of the unexpected and not a thing to do with the hike.  Here is my new toy T. rex sitting on my coffee table.  I wanted to add a (weird) quirky and fun element to our home decor.  Some day I might even get a little buddy for him.  ;)

By Friday late afternoon I started feeling sick on the way home from the store.  Some kind of bug got me and today I'm still feeling it.  I made some chicken soup today and I'm hoping that will make me feel better by tomorrow. 

I was hoping to be able go to church in the morning and then our friends are having a shower in the afternoon and I really want to go to that, too.  They are going to become foster parents and are still awaiting the child.  They don't know the gender nor the age yet, somewhere between infant and 5 yrs. old.  They're both very excited to be starting this new chapter in their lives and we're excited for them.
