San Francisco, Dogs and To-Dos

Our trip was a lot of fun.  San Francisco ... Napa ... good eats, good drinks and lots to see.  I'm fall-over tired between the time change, hectic day flying home and too much indulgence.   I took tons of pictures, but hubby has better ones.  Here's a sample from mine.

Dinner at Scoma's.  Hubby's favorite restaurant because of memories with his father.  Had amazing seafood and the best Moscow Mules.  P.S.  I now own 6 of those copper cups as a Christmas gift from my youngest.

Alcatraz.  Youngest sitting in the recreational yard.

Ghirardelli stop.  That sundae was $10.

Hendry wine tour.  Grapes turned to raisins and we got to eat them off the vine.
You know my youngest and his raisin love!  Pinot grapes

Armstrong Redwood Forest.  Pictures don't do it justice.

No way I was risking a spider on my body, so hubby posed for this picture.

Chinatown tour with Linda Lee.  This is at the Chinese Pharmacy.
They are reading a script and sorting out the herbs.  Fascinating.

Fortune Cookie factory.  Fresh cookies were an entirely different flavor and texture.  Amazing.

Market in Chinatown.  This lady is searching the bin of LIVE toads to find the male ones.  They taste better.

Love our sweet foster dog.  So far, he's been awesome.  No accidents, no marking, perfect bed sleeper.  Cute as a button, silly and FAST!!  He was terrified when I broke into the house (she left me a key) and stole him.  Now he's already a family member.  I could learn a lot from dogs.

It's time to make the mega TO-DO lists as we are on the final countdown to Christmas.  We probably all need a little good karma blowing our way.  Off to have a HAPPY day and remind myself this is all good stuff.  Later gators.
