About Me

My photo
Proud single mom of one beautiful daughter who shares my love of sports and music. She doesn't share my love of the outdoors which I find weird. I love photography and wish I had a better camera!! Maybe someday...

Raindrops on Roses & Whiskers on Kittens

I have all these random photos from just...life.  
Normal, everyday life.  

So, since this has been a tremendously hard, exhausting, and draining week, I thought I'd post them.  
Because it's easy.  And I don't have to think (much).

We'll start off with the Raindrops on Roses


I love taking photos of flowers in the rain.  Of course that's something we Californians rarely see anymore.  These were taken probably two years ago at Gigi's house where my mother lives. 


Also these gorgeous hydrangeas.


Mushrooms in the rain look cool too.  And slightly phallic.  lol

And this one time?  In LA?  We went to Milk.  Delicious.





And on the way back to Sacramento, I stopped at Frosted.  Because I love cupcakes.

Yum...hazelnut.

Once back in my "lovely" hood, there was the usual police action. 




And that beautiful Sunday when I went downtown to the Farmer's Market and saw the car of my dreams.  
I want to go to there.


On a lovely Saturday, I went to the @SactoMoFo food truck meet up at the park by the river.  Good times.




Of course I have to go to as many Food Truck @SactoMofo events as possible, and this time I dragged Melanie, Gracie, and Kevonne along for the ride.  It was fun.  Food trucks and a concert in the park by the river.  







And one day there was a gorgeous sunset with awesome clouds.

Now it's time for the whiskers on kittens.

For a few months, whenever we went out on the balcony, a surprise visitor would pop up.  He scared me quite a few times.  




He would just sit up there on the roof...watching...  
Occasionally at night I would hear him galloping around up there.  
Probably chasing squirrels.  
We never, ever saw him during the day. 

And now for myriad pictures and poses of my two fur-babies.
Chavvy loves shoes.


Whiskers! 
  
Here is Chavvy trying to understand Ellie's fascination with being under the covers.

Chavvy loves shoes and Ellie loves ironing boards.  


I love my babies.  

And I love my life. 
Sometimes it's hard to remember to be grateful.
Photos like these help.

I Like Food! - Sacto MoFo 11/26/13


Anyone ever watch Food Network's Great Food Truck Race?  Then you understand my fascination with food trucks.  In the city of Sacramento, there was an ordinance that prohibited trucks from parking for longer than 20 minutes, which obviously precluded any sort of gourmet fare being served.

So a few years ago, they started having the Sacramento Mobile Food Truck Festival (Sacto MoFo) to bring awareness and hopefully change the ordinance.  Which I think they did.  Or relaxed it.  Or something.  Bottom line is we now have some very delicious food trucks in the area PLUS every year we have trucks come from all over California to give people a chance at the Food Truck Experience.

This year, my sister happened to come to town on the day of the festival, so I took the day off and we hung out all day...first eating &
