This guy was making Creme Brulee on the street. He had them already prepped in his cooler, and then he would cook the sugar on the top.

Betsy is always taking her picture in public bathrooms. It sounds weird, but it's kinda neat to see all the beautiful restaurant bathrooms she goes in. So we took our picture in this public potty. I had to be in a Betsy Bathroom Picture.

San Francisco, Part I

Betsy is one of my oldest friends, and we recently reconnected online. When we were in high school, we made several trips to San Francisco to visit her grandparents, dad, and other relatives. We also went to Hawaii and Disney World. She is now a speech pathologist and lives in beautiful San Francisco full time.

I decided to invite myself out for a visit this summer, and we had a WONDERFUL visit. I just love visiting with her b/c she's very real and always has an interesting view and challenging insights. And she's just fun to hang out with. The trip out was quite a nightmare, though. On my first try, I got stranded in Austin due to storms and just decided to come home and try again the next day. Even though I was a day late, we didn't let it dampen our fun!

Having a little Sofia Rose upon arrival.

I loved all the unique signs and how few chain/big box stores there were.

Leo's tribute to MJ

Leo's camp this week did a little talent show at the end of the week. He was so excited about it! I offered to take him to the science museum instead on this day, but he couldn't miss his performance. Make sure you watch the whole thing - he really gets into the dance in the middle of the first video.

After the first performance, they had to do an encore for a parent who was a little late. Henry couldn't stand it - he had to get in on that one! Maybe he's going to love to be on stage - he would get it honestly, wouldn't he?
