actually, we’ve been out a little bit here and there. hmc’s mom watched snapper when we were in lost angels and then again once up here, allowing us to run out and catch 3:10 to yuma and eastern promises. (3:10 was much better. eastern promises is a little overrated. dirty pretty things was much better.)
with snapper, we’ve also been out walking around lake temescal, down to rockridge a couple of times, and then today we went on a super active day where we went out to the botanical garden in tilden, then hiked over to and around lake anza, and then drove down to cafe de la paz in berkeley for dinner, where it just happened our friend bill was having his wedding reception! later a quick stop at fenton’s in the evening for cc’s birthday.
not to mention our trips out to the rug store. there’s this lovely little rug store on college, run by albert, who’s a third-generation rug seller. he’s quite adorable and knows more about rugs than you could even hope to think about. we’re trying out one of the kurdish killums in our house right now to see how it looks. it’s goddamn gorgeous, but it might be too big. which is really unfortunate, because the more i look at it the more i love it.
time to move, i guess. just kidding.
there is also, of course, the question of whether to buy a very nice heirloom rug with a newborn. but let’s not talk about that. besides, mika looooves it as well.
Ed,
Nice Rug. Regretfully, I can’t see it large. Can I be your friend? Pretty please? http://www.flickr.com/people/vsgoliath/
