many lattes, many memories

 The Blogmaid and I were always able to grab our favorite table at the Chit Chat Cafe in Pacifica. We covered a few joys and sorrows here and this week it is being demolished due to a big concrete collapse at the end of the pier. And that has always been a busy pier filled with people fishing. When will it re-open? Will they rebuild the Chit Chat? Yes, it was an old fashioned funky cafe and I feel even worse for the regulars who would gather here every day. There are so many goodbyes in this life. Too many.

update on Annabelle

 There isn't a lot to report, as you can see. This girl can sleep. It's hard to believe that we have been together for almost eight years. I do neglect to photograph her when she is following me around and god forbid that I should close any door because she wants full access to everything and everywhere. And her appetite is exceptional. Perhaps you can tell that I am still besotted with her?

a gentle June Sunday

Middle: Precita Park with a little jam jazz band (on the right) and dogs and people and gorgeous weather.

Bottom photo: my garden from a new shady area that I created for tenants and now that I enjoy.

an excellent candidate

 

Racquel (Rockee) Armstrong (bottom photo) is running for the State House in Arizona. Nicole hosted a gathering for her yesterday and yes, I was sold. This primary is on July 21st and I so hope she does well. A Democrat, as you might have guessed.

fun! exciting!

 Playoff basketball is always delightful and of course this year I am rooting for the Knicks who won last night (Game 2) by ONE point. We can only imagine the NY celebration should they take the championship this year because it has been so very long, like 27 years?

new boys next door

 As predicted, Cristina adopted two of the seven kittens and now they have names ~ Pippo and Gigetto, very Italian, of course. They are fun and rambunctious and adorable. So glad, however, that my Annabelle is lazy and quiet, like her constant companion. 

female friendship and...

I joined the women up at Nicole's Wednesday Night Chat & Chew gathering for the first time in a long time and we had no problem finding topics to cover. Good food too, and an invigorating walk to/fro for me before the sun went down last night.
