Weekend Fun

Yesterday hubby and I volunteered to work the Children's Hospital Oakland booth at our local Wine & Arts Festival.  Here's a picture of our booth:

These next two pictures I thought were so funny and sooooo California!  Valet Bike Parking! And there were tons of bicycles lined up!  Funny thing is, we almost rode our bikes but took our car at the last minute!

I really wanted to get some shots of the surrounding park where the festival was being held but hubby was wanting to go eat.  This park has a huge duck pond with a huge fountain in the middle.  

And now ... drum roll ... the Giveaway!!  Leave me a comment between now and next Friday, and if your name is drawn, I will send you a copy of Emilie Barnes "If Teacups Could Talk".  I have this same book and love it.  I have made several of the recipes and they. are. yummy!

  5. Emilie Barnes is by absolute favorite author, this is one of the few books that I don't already have. I have even met her in person! She is a delight.

  6. Jule's family is from Atlanta, Georgia and they thing both bicycling (we are avid) and mass transit are insane. However, I think the way they drive is totally psychotic! :)
