Our new house is really old…and by old I mean the same age as me. We came into existence in the same year. It’s starting to show it’s age, not on the outside but on the inside. When it’s cold outside it’s cold inside. Our bedroom heats fine, it’s nice and toasty in there but
Orignally written: June 12, 2011 We are officially moved into our new house! I’d show you pictures but the camera is in a box somewhere and I have no clue where to find it. So, for now just envision room after room of boxes stacked chest high. Perhaps one day I will find the camera

On Friday we packed up our stuff, picked up our rental car and started the drive to Monterey…but not before we ate breakfast at Cafe La Taza. We have driven down the Pacific Coast Highway before but the scenery never gets old. It’s difficult to not just stare out the window in awe. The drive

I know I told you a couple of months ago about our upcoming trip to The French Laundry. Today it happened. Today was the day. Just minutes ago I was there. I had the food. I spent four hours enjoying the work of the gourmet Monet. Just minutes ago…I met him. Thomas Keller. He was
