Salty is laying next to me on the couch pooped out from our 1.5 hr walk around the neighborhood. I love being able to stroll around and see life happening all around me. There are families, joggers, bikers, lone rangers, doggies, singles, kids, and even a few quail. I can't help but sneak a peek into an open garage or sniff at what people are grilling.
In the late part of August Cohen somehow managed to survive a long weekend where 3 of my girlfriends stayed with us and a 2 month old baby boy. Good thing we have 3 bathrooms. Anna, Amber and baby Ethan came out from Arizona and Holly (Dale) came out from Layton, Ut. It was such a special reunion. We stayed busy all weekend. One of my favorites was dressing up and eating at Cohen's restaurant. It wouldn't have been complete without Amy Willits.
It wouldn't be a proper trip without lunch at Mary's.

SALTY DOG
So this little pup of ours is now almost 4 mos old and weighs in at 18lbs. Recently she had her first bee sting, visit to the beach and ER trip to have a foxtail removed from her left ear.
Waiting for Cohen to come home

BOOKS
The Hunger Games Trilogy - Suzanne Collins. (3 books). The books are a great, fast read and I was sad to have it come to an end. We listened to the first book on CD
on our way home from Utah in January - it's available for loan if anyone is interested.
Millenium Trilogy - Stieg Larsson. (3 books) One of the most intriguing characters in this series is actually the author himself who passed away unexpectedly shortly after delivering the manuscripts and never got to see his books hit the world wide best sellers list. I read book 1 The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo during our San Antonio trip in May. My mom just loaned me books 2 and 3. I finished book 2 The Girl Who Played with Fire in about a week (very addicting). And I am toying with the idea of starting the final book tonight.
Dillon Beach nearby Tomales Bay, CA is most certainly a dog friendly beach. Cohen took Salty out on Friday and she had a great time running around off leash with a few other dogs and watching the surfers. I remember having a blast visiting with Buddy Brady and family a few years back.
