• Dumplings, Dogs and Drag Queens

  I’ve been trying to get to Din Tai Fung with Lexi & Rita for over a year now, and we finally made it.  We ordered way too much, but the leftovers are always great!  I just wish it was closer!

  Keeping with the food theme, here’s Chazz staring up at my dinner the other night with his laser eyes:

  

  The sunsets seem to be getting prettier each night, and they look so good with Chazz in the foreground:  It’s been in the high 70′s (25°) all week here and we’ve had some spectacular colors in the sky!

  The kids went to Disneyland today for Dar’s retirement party and Andy fell asleep in the car on the way home and never woke up:

  Tommy and Mommy did homework, while Joel went for Chinese takeout and the dogs played:

  I cropped out the bunny ears, LOL

  Best of the rest…including an encounter with fashionista Bobby Trendy (thus the drag queen in the title, though as you’ll see in the photos, he was dressed way down…not in his usual glam!) a visit with Roscoe & Arielle and yet more sunsets, dogs and kids (but I’ll spare you the Sarah Palin this time!)

  And finally, it’s nice to know when your words inspire someone.  This was a great way to start the new year.  I’m glad I was able to help you Kevin.  Keep up the good work!
