Moonlit Jazz

with my parents, with the hubby, bottom pics of various folks at my parents’ house…

We spent the day in San Leandro. Aunts, Uncles, and cousins mingled throughout the house. My grandmother got a game of mahjong going in my sister’s old room. I ate a lot of food. Yummy!

flower shots from around the house and garden…

It was great seeing my family. I miss them. We talked a little about my sister’s upcoming wedding. I got to show off my camera and my phone to my cousin and his daughters. 😆 I love being able to bust out my gear. Yeah, I’m a little show-off. What can I say? 😉

Oh yes, and my boys won. Woohoo! And congrats to Michael Campbell for his win at the US Open. Yes, I actually watched it. And yes, I was cheering Campbell on. I have a soft spot for the New Zealand folks. 😉

Woohoo, the A’s won! 😀 I saw maybe an inning at most of this game. Oh well. 😛

The crabs arrived in that box… they waited on the table for us… utensils ready… crabs in pieces…

We headed over to Livermore for a homestyle crab feed. The husband had crabs shipped from Maryland for Father’s Day. Since FedEx doesn’t deliver on Sundays, we had Father’s Day for his dad today. (Works better for me since we have to go to my parents’ tomorrow.)

I ate more crabs than I thought I would! They were yummy! I love the fact that I get to eat with my hands. And right now my hands still smell like that Old Bay seasoning. I’ve washed my hands at least five times since dinner. Ye gods!

The memorial garden (pics 1, 2, and 4) for Weebee and Trixie… a random flower (pic 3)

The big dogs, Weebee and Trixie, now reside in rock homes in the garden. We visited them and remembered them with smiles.

The squirrel…

The in-laws leave peanuts for the neighborhood squirrels. The little creatures grab their goodies when they get the chance and I actually got some good shots. I even have a little movie with the squirrel going in and taking a peanut. Pretty cool! Oh, the things that amuse me. 😆

Meggie glad to be out of the cone…

While we’re home, Meggie doesn’t wear that crazy cone around her neck. So I’m sure she’s glad we decided to be lazy butts today. 😆

Saffy in a state of relaxation…

My new computer (did I mention officially that I have a new computer?) is pretty cool! Of course, getting the programs that I want on it is going to be a challenge. And the whole music thing is getting on my nerves. Thank goodness my iPod doesn’t seem to affected by the whole thing. It’s still adding stuff on as it did before. 😉

The Rich Harden bobblehead in front of the Barry Zito bobblehead…
