Chester the Cat

So Sunday night the hub and I were coming home from our acupuncture appointment when we saw a yellow cat sitting along the side of the road. The cat was in front of an empty lot. From where we were in our car it looked like this cat was a little kitten. Seeing as we have been all into animals lately this caused concern for my hubby who stopped the car. He got out of the car and approached the cat. From the car, I see him pick it up and stroak his head and back. He brings the cat to the car where I clearly see that this is not a kitten but a grown cat. The hub says we should take it home. So we look at the collar and it says the cat's name is "Chester" and that he belongs on a nearby street. So the hub brings the cat in the car. Immediately, the cat starts to fight the hubby and his claws come out. The hub tries to pet the cat more insisting to the cat that we were only taking him home. So we start the car and turn around toward the street where the cat belongs. About 1 minute into the ride I say the name of the street out loud again. And I say to my hubby, "Hey hub, we're on that street!" You see, our street is named one thing in Eagle Rock and then it turns into another street in Glendale. So realizing that we were on the street where the cat belonged we stop the car and look at the address on the cat's collar again. From where were were at we didn't seem to be near the address of where the cat belongs. In fact, the address seemed to be pointing back to where we came from. So slowly we make our way back to where we got the cat. Turns out that the cat belonged to a house across the street from where we found the cat! We got confused because we were at the spot when the numbers changed from Glendale to Eagle Rock. Realising our mistake we drop Chester back off where we got him. We start toward home and I turn to my husband and said, "Babe, we just kidnapped a cat." We laughed all the way home.

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

My Favorite Gourmet Trucks

As of last night, I have now tried 18 food trucks! Only 60 more to go! My friends, Krueger and Kristy joined me at 55 Degree Wine in Atwar Village to try the always busy Grilled Cheese Truck! I have run into the truck a few times now but something has always prevented me from trying their food. Mostly the really, really long lines!! This time the hour wait wasn't so bad with two girls to gossip with. By the time we got to the front we were ready to execute our food plan. Kristy took lead and placed an order for 3 sandwiches (the brie, the mac-n-cheese and the rib meat) plus the dessert sandwich and some tator tots!!! I was a bit bummed that they didn't have the sandwich I went for, the Harvest sandwich but the 3 sandwiches we got more than made up for everything. I was glad to try this truck with 2 girls because we split the sandiches in 3rds which was awesome because I got to try a variety of their sandwiches. Now I must add the Grilled Cheese Truck to my list of fa...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...
