This particular visit to MJ's was when I met Mary and Jake...

last NOVEMBER! What? Ha ha...yes, this was languishing in the queu then forgotten...

Before heading home, we got a quick bite over at Pizza Studio...

Return to the Mission Hills Nursery plus the new North Park Nursery

OB415 sunset

We made a quick return to SF's OB...

just a few blocks away from our place...

A duo of desserts at Juniper & Ivy

From Harbor drive up to Laurel..

I'm not sure what species those primates are (not gibbons, maybe howler monkey?) but this was at the train stop.

We lucked out by finding parking on Kettner not even a block away from our dessert destination...

[Update - This place is CLOSED as of April 2016. However, their booths with the hexagonal quilting live on at Cafe 21 on Adams]

Friday night was date night...

TC was at a youth group retreat and after dropping her off, we headed to the dreaded Gaslamp Quarter.
