Kid summers
This past week, my moms was up visiting from San Diego and I got to spend a good amount of time with her, my bro, and my sis.
On Sunday, EK and I went to the Treasure Island Flea Market with our good friend Masashi and his friends. With family on my mind, I guess I was especially drawn to the old metal Tonka trucks. My brother, Marvin, would have full blown miniature construction sites in our backyard with a dozen or so Tonkas put to work on huge mounds of dirt. With my pops being an operating engineer of life-sized CATS, the permeation of these toys in our yard was inevitable.
I saw the otter pops later in the afternoon while weekly grocery shopping. I remember Strawberry Short Cook was my fav, based on looks alone for sure. (Although, I bet the lime guy probably tastes the best. I don't think I'll find out anytime soon as I'd now opt for a hippy version.) We probably snacked on these while playing in the dirt with Tonkas. But look, otters were cute even before we knew they held hands!

Quiet mornings with delicious breakfasts

This morning when we woke, Eric suggested waffles! We had them with fresh blueberries and this wonderful honey walnut butter that Yvonne (EK's mamma) brought us from the farmer's market on the Santa Monica Pier.
The day is just getting started and it's so nice already! Now I'm going to pickup a bit and meet up with some amazing friends who have just returned home after spending their summer in Tunisia. I can't wait to hear their stories!

I spied that lil' abandoned guy in Alamo Square Park the other day while joyfully dog watching with my sweet mother-in-law. He reminded me of this and caused the song to find its way out of the stretches of my memory.
I had an amazing time the past few days exploring the bay area with Eric's mamma. I'll post some highlights soon. I was sad to drop her off at the airport last night, but I think we'll get to see her again soon so my heart is light.
This weekend I'm looking forward to:
2. Alamo Square Park Flea Market (combination of so many things I love!)
3. 2.5 hour hip-opening workshop with my favorite yoga instructor
4. Enjoying home cooked vegan nomz and a scrabble game with dear friends
I hope you all have a lovely weekend!
Three Good Things

1. This lil'guy in the Little Otsu shop window
2. Chocolate-dipped honeycomb candy bar that is super similar to this favorite from my childhood
3. Doing my hairs like Felix (you don't want to know how many times MC has made me cry this season!!)
