I don't normally photograph my food but this breakfast was a thing of beauty. This was at Foster's Market - the restaurant of Sarah Foster, a chef who used to work for Martha Stewart. She's been on her show several times so you might recognize her. The pancakes were topped with berries, pecans and syrup. The egg dish was served over cheddar grits and chorizo with grilled cornbread. Soooo good. If you come visit us we will take you here!!
Next stop was the Raleigh Rose Garden. We visit at least 2 times a year when the roses are in their peak. It was a gorgeous day to view everything. We sniffed a ton of roses and made notes on "keepers" for the college. Takes me back to Wacker Park in Pauls Valley when I would go sniff the roses as a little girl and my mom would have to tell me "no picking". Its still a challenge not to do that.
One of the favorites of the day: Hot Cocoa. Wish the picture did it justice. The foliage is dark green and shiny. The flower is a dusy dark brown-red that has a chocolatey smell. How can you resist?
The evening was topped off with a babysitting adventure with Richard and Dwayne. We watched Harrison while Jeff and Julie celebrated their anniversary. No, it does not require the work of 4 people but we like to make a party of it. I think we have heard him cry twice since he was born. That's why we offer to babysit! We also like to raid Julie's pantry and call boys.
Harrison entertaining himself with a cup. I post this to remind myself when we have kids, that they really don't need a ton of expensive toys.

Nope. Kids don't seem to need a lot of expensive toys. Plastic tupperware is a wonderment to little people. This is great for us and we are giving him a whole cabinet that he can load and unload at his whim.
