a day - and a friendship - to be thankful for.....

Mr. P and I had a magical day yesterday driving around in the fall sunshine - we visited and hiked around Mt. Tam - drove up the ridge to Pt. Reyes - then back through the Samuel Taylor Redwoods - - then stopped at Mel's Diner on Geary for a tremendously fun Turkey Dinner (one of Eric's traditions) - - and then relaxed at my place and watched the movie 'Everything Is Illuminated'. 'Nif!

Photo Highlights from Yesterday's MiniTriptm - one thing you'll notice is the "Hearts of San Francisco" Minicar we were driving. My car is in for service - and this subtle little mini is the loaner they gave me. We waved like royalty all day long in our unique little car. LOL!

Friendships like the one I share with Eric don't come along everyday. It's a blessing.

Looks like a beautiful day and you had a good time. That Mini totally cracks me up.

ImageI drive (normally) a fiesta red mini with a white roof. but it's in for service. the hearts are a ceramic heart set - they put around the city. It really was a hoot!

I knew you would love the hearts-minicar! LOL - it is the universe continuing to talk to me - just like the GoGirl energy drink gift pack. (cackle)

That car reminds me of a ZipCar, but I don't think they fancy 'em up like that. They don't on this coast, for sure.

Ah, NYC had cows and I've seen bears in DC and fleur de leis (sp?) in New Orleans.

I'll meet you there. Or maybe you should visit Seattle.

These are some of the best photos of you I've seen. I like the beardless look, and I've never seen your smile look so relaxed.

thank you :) I was totally relaxed. It was a tremendous day!

Is that a mt. dew bottle in your hand?
You look like you're not old enough to drive with your facial hair shaved off.
If I'd seen u driving, I'd have probably called the police and tell them someone had stolen their mother's crazy-ass car. :-)

I feel dirty when I look at smooth-faced pictures of you, though.
:-)

Well, I feel dirty anyway, but feel like a pedophile...

Happy Thanksgiving (belated)!!!

Those are beautiful pictures, and I am happy you had a great holiday. It was tough for us being away this Thanksgiving, but we are spending Thanksgiving with our friends tomorrow - so that will be lots of fun.

Hugs and blessings!
