A Few Things...

Some of my friends and I had lunch at DelFrisco's to welcome our friend Diane from England back---in time for book club. You might know she's the one who took the picture, so she's not in it! The food there is delicious! Nancy, Diane and I had the half tenderloin sandwich with a cup of corn chowder. It was so good. There were homemade chips on the side. Even the half was too much food.

We had a Miley Cyrus sighting. We had lunch together! She was waiting next to us for the valet to get her car. She looked cute---messy top ponytail, jeans, Vans and a white sweatshirt. She is tiny!

We've been having some gorgeous weather. Stephanie, Nicky, Mindy and Justin spent the day at the zoo (or half a day--our zoo isn't that big).

 Butch and I were out running errands together. I saw these rooflines lined up with birds.

I got Butch to go back so I could take a picture. When we first went by, they all had their wings fanned out.

 You can see a few here. I had never seen anything like that. We're not sure what kind of birds they are, but they were really big---they were bigger than crows---maybe turkey vultures.

 It was a rainy day, so we think they were fanning out their wings to dry. Uh, seems to me that if they were flying, the air would dry them naturally. Maybe it was their rest time. In that case, I totally get it!

 Saw this recently while shopping for a gift. Since when did Vera Bradley start making jewelry? I can't say I was really impressed. I didn't think to check prices.

 And then there's this. OMGosh! This is my favorite type salad of all time---Shrimp Louie (it could be crab too). I get it every time we go to Redlands before the theatre. The presentation! Tender bib lettuce, avocado, large, flavorful shrimp, topped with a thousand island type dressing. So good! I couldn't finish it all. The we had to share the carrot cake for dessert. And believe me, it's enough to share! 4 of us couldn't finish it. It's a huge 4" square piece, hot with runny, cream cheese frosting! Just delish. Didn't think to get a picture.

Okay, that's enough for now!
