Lala’s Creamery

Lala’s is the best place for a date night and good old-fashioned ice cream in Petaluma.  I chose the Amaretto Toffee and my husband, Meyer Lemon.  Both were good, but if I had to do it over again – definitely, the meyer lemon.  Yum!

Excuse the iPhone photos (again!), but I love tiled addresses and business names on the doorway or above the door.  Very charming.

A little peek inside…a very small detail, but notice the hooks underneath the counter by the barstools.  They thought of everything!

At The Zoo, Part One

My husband took me to the San Francisco Zoo (aka the Fleishhacker Zoo) for my birthday.  It was such a sweet surprise and also my first time visiting – I was giddy like a little girl!  Thank you again, Husband!

My favorite attractions:

The lemur forest

Awww….I call this one, “Thomas in a bear suit”

The sleeping koala

What I have been feeling like lately – in the singular form, of course (and minus a couple of bullet points).

Anthropologie…

…sends very cute birthday notes with a candle necklace and in-store discount attached.  What could I use it on?  Hmmm.  Maybe this tank, this tunic or this dress (if they have it in my size?!) or I could close my eyes and pick anything from their selection of tights.  *grin*

Café Cubano, San Francisco

Husband and I stumbled upon a great lunch place in the city called Café Cubano.

Delicious food and friendly people.

Check them out!

Pink Martini

Husband, T, and I saw them last week at the Cascade Theatre in Redding (of all places!).  It was one of the best performances I have ever seen.

On a tightrope with my head in the clouds…
