Breakfast: It’s our second day back home since a month-long trip in California. Now that we got the terrace cleaned up from the pigeon poop saga the day before we could out on the terrace. Gary made a special cooked oatmeal breakfast with fresh blueberries, bananas, chopped almonds and apples, dusted with ground flax seeds…
Breakfast: Our first breakfast at home in over a month. The weather was perfect so we thought we’d dine on the terrace but we discovered some pigeons had been there while we were gone. The birds flew the coop but left us an abandoned nest and their pigeon poo was dropped over everything! We spent…
Breakfast: The last day of our California trip has arrived. The morning was filled with last minute tasks: cleaning up the pool house; doing some laundry; some final packing.

Breakfast: More strawberries please! When foods are in season that’s when it’s time to enjoy them. I am in strawberry country at the moment and I am taking advantage. Only organic strawberries of course – no methyl bromide for me please. Lunch: Gary and I went for a run/walk on one of the Los…
Breakfast: It’s the breakfast that comes together quickly whether you are in a hurry or not. Once you have the routine down, it practically makes itself. I was meeting my friend Ann for a walk on the Los Gatos Creek trail. We had our oatmeal and Gary dropped me off near the trail before going…
