Basil

I have 2 kids:
Say hello to Basil, Jr. (Basil died last year)

and Basil, III

They have grown a lot since I first got them! I'm the type of person who likes to watch the grass grow, so I'm quite proud of my Basils! Wish me luck on keeping them alive!

Congratulations, Counselor!

My sister graduated!

We went to dinner at Boulevard in San Francisco and it was DELICIOUS! Because we waited 20 min for our reservation, they gave us complimentary appetizers. They served a thin slice of ahi on top of whipped avocado, and it was all topped off with caviar. Mmmm... Next, sweetbreads, which had the consistency of a clam and tasted like yummy bone marrow. Below are our entrees, which were goo-oood. Clockwise around the table: halibut, lamb x2 (prepared in 3 different ways, including lamb cheek shepherd's pie), and guinea hen with morel mushrooms.

I always forget what a small world it is. Audrey's good friend is good friends with my good friend!

Lunch time

I rarely go out to eat for lunch, but I just got back from California yesterday so I didn't have much in the refrigerator. I treated myself to two slices of organic pizza. It was a nice day, so I headed over to the Diag to sit on the lawn and have a lovely little picnic. Of course, I didn't want grass stains and was wearing a skirt, so I put down my notepad and sat on that. Mmm... one slice gone. I picked up my second slice and started to eat it when the sprinklers (facing away from me) started to go off. Uh oh! I got up, picked up my notepad and then felt water on my head and back. Think quick! I covered up my pizza with my notepad -- now my notes were wet and had pizza sauce on them. Great. Way to rain on my parade.

I went to sit on a concrete bench in a concrete plaza. But! When I sat down this odd little squirrel came out from underneath the bench. It ran funny. Like it had stiff hind legs. I think it may have had a tumor hanging from its abdomen. I watched it hobble away from me, and then watched a guy stop in his tracks to watch it for a couple minutes, and then take out his phone to take a picture of it.

Eventful lunch for Mayz!

Puppies and mirrors

What happened to dogs not being able to see 2D? Apparently that is just a myth.

GRADUATION 2007

I'm delayed in posting pictures, but still, most schools haven't even had graduation yet. Crazy, huh?

And the chocolate cake with graduation hat:
