family dinner

chanda was out early in the morning to help open the cafe . . 

morgana and i decided to have breakfast there and shared a fig and ricotta cheese sandwich on sour dough bread (merriweather really has very good food). 

we also had a cappuccino and the cafe's special detox (apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, fresh ginger and a cinnamon stick and honey).

 

we then walked around the neighborhood and visited the renovated bed, bath and beyond and t. j. maxx (it's known in great britain as t. k. maxx) and also stopped in trader joe's . . the weather is so hot and humid again that every time i get back home i hop in a cold shower to rinse off.

korrina joined us for dinner . .

i made three different salads to go with burgers and hot dogs - cole slaw, dilly brown rice, and cucumber with onions.

 

it's always special being all together . .
