But Roy's deserves its own post.

There was lobster inside these succulent little beauts.

This tasted like the platonic fish.

And the platonic rare ahi steak and platonic lamb chop.

Happy anniversary to us!

Recent random goodness, sorry, I don't have the attention span to string together a coherent story arch. Arc. Ark. Ack!


The perennial hit at the farm fair: a big soothing pool full of birdseed.

Easter fruit hunt!

Sad easter fruit klingon. (sad story: starts with elaborate butterfly facepaint, takes a turn for the worst in the safeway chocolate aisle, ends up with klingon-face. And no chocolate.)
Since we live on a tropical island, our exotic easter fruit includes apples, pears, and strawberries.

Kid's Eye View

So RJ needed some distraction so I showed her how to use the camera. She busily went around taking pictures for an hour. I love how they are all three feet off the ground, how they are objects that fascinate her; her own feet, the locks on the cabinets, the outdoor cat asleep in her bed, and about 45 photos of photos, most of those Daddy. Here are some of my favorites, captions by RJ:
