This b'day could be a bit of a challenge. Besides the age thing, it falls on a Monday and I plan on being at work. AND it's a Monday after a trial, a 3-day trial to be exact. However, my boss wants to take me to lunch. She said "pick a place, and I really like the Crow's Nest." Works for me! Ocean view? Harbor? Sailboats? Feeling pretty darn fortunate, I am. I'll lose weight next month.
And her boss informed our department today that July is 'casual month' at work. As in every day. How cool is that? Not too shabby for a government gig.
July. It's officially Summer. Long days, picnics, motorcycle rides, sleeping with the windows open and the fans blowing, and now casual month. Taking the dogs for a swim on a hot day (soon, I promise). Shorts, flip-flops ... but don't step on the back of my flip-flops. Ever.

Went for a 200 mile ride with my friend and a new group of enthusiasts last weekend. Three counties. Lots of back roads, some Hwy 1 along the Pacific. Five hours of riding in all. From Alice's Restaurant in Woodside to Uvas Dam for a BBQ. Good day.
Did you say picnic? |
And of course since it's a well-celebrated holiday, it's also an opportunity for the dogs to brush up on their modeling skills.
Last year, our friend Grace stopped by

That same year, Vixen & Jemima visited their half-siblings Lizzie & Sunny, and played canine firework show.

And several years ago, Mona, Doug, Geary and I walked our dressed up dogs in the Boulder Creek 4th of July parade. Here they are afterwards, gladly hanging in the shade.
I am thinking of you all at Prunedale... I will be at Vallejo the following weekend and look forward to seeing my PASA friends there!
