As summer (hopefully slowly) comes to a close, I continue to go out and live. Two weekends ago, Shari and I met up with my friend Robyn at City Park Farmer’s Market.

My long weekend started off great. Mel invited me and Shari over for dinner. She cooked us a delicious vegan udon and tofu dish and a lovely salad. We sat out on Mel and Matt’s porch under the wonderfully warm evening and had fantastic conversation until I started yawning a bit too much and needed … More 5-30-22 Long Weekend
