Indian Ice cream for Thanksgiving

Azure collected two bouquets for our non-traditional Thanksgiving turkey-less dinner


We took baby dills 1-4 on a 2 mile run [slash walk] on the beach to get some Starbuck's Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate followed by naps in the sand for everyone over 10.  Even Azure did a fair amount of running.


She complained the next day that her little angel hair legs were sore.  We congratulated her that she really used her muscles.  She wasn't so pleased.


We all got one bite from each Indian ice cream flavor:


The Falooda Kulfi tasted like the smell of my grandma Fae's perfume I remember from 15 years ago.


My favorite was the Chickoo.


We walked wearing t-shirts down to the tree lot to pick our perfect coniferous holiday decor centerpiece [aka our Christmas tree].  I put the lights on and only had to send Ryan 3 times to get more strands.  In my defense, 2 of them quit working after the tree was 2/3 done.  Then the baby dills got in to help trim the tree with blacks and whites.


Saturday we attended an outdoor art festival and had our fill of carnival foods and entertainment.




The prettiest produce I've seen: hydroponic butterhead lettuce

The fashion diva of the day


Ryan loves it when I match my accessories to his.
I'm wondering whose watch is off?

  7. On Sundays, my husband will wait until I'm dressed and then try to match his tie to my outfit. I used to think it was weird, but now I see that it's cute and thoughtful.
