The Sunday Salon: Happy Father’s Day!

15 Comments

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. The Hub had a hard time deciding what to do today so I suggested that we hit Descanso Gardens and then go for pizza. He thought that sounded pretty good so that’s what we did.

The ground was slanted in this shot. I swear!

The kids seemed to enjoy the walk. We did too but I spent most of Saturday night awake (long story) and was dragging a bit, but it was good to get out.

It was sort of a gloomy day, so this flower really stood out.

We walked all over and took a train ride too. It was very nice but now I need a nap! Especially after the large pizza we devoured.

No nap for me though. When I got home I had to dye some rags emerald green (for the show) and the gloves I used did not save my hands which are a lovely shade of green. I look like a freak!

Other than that, I am almost done with My Cousin Rachel. I love it!

Okay, so you know how I mentioned my trip to Bart’s Books in yesterday’s Salon Post? Well, we did go to Bart’s and I did take some fabulous pics for the Spotlight on Bookstores post that I’ll be sending to Dawn over at She is Too Fond of Books sometime in July. However, what I definitely did not count on, was all of us getting hit with the same flu bug that hit my son last week.

Imagine me, in a bookstore surrounded by books. Bliss, right? Okay, now imagine me getting queasy around said books. Now imagine the Girl getting queasy and then the Hub. We had to cut the trip short and drive straight home. However, I did check to see if they had any of the books on my list and they did not. It was a sad day in Ti’s world.

When we got home, we all went our separate ways and took comfort the only way we knew how. The Hub took a nap. The Girl sat on the couch and zoned out on Phineas and Ferb and I crashed on the couch with The Link and My Cousin Rachel.

I am completely hooked on these books right now. They are completely different books yet so fascinating that I am actually alternating between the two of them every couple of chapters. So all was not lost. I still managed to spend the day reading and it turned out to be a good day for it.

By the way, we are all much better now 🙂
