A good weekend...

My husband helped start the weekend right with an early birthday celebration for me. After months of hearing the hype, I partook in my first experience of "the fifth taste" (umami) by eating one of these...


here...


Absolutely worth a visit if you are in the area.
They take this fifth taste thing pretty seriously. Read more about it here.

Finally got to see these guys perform live.


Quite a show. I would recommend it even if you've never heard their music.

Later that weekend, we had a little show of our own for a friend's birthday.


... and Mister decided to prop himself right up front for everyone's viewing pleasure.


The fog rolled in...


...but cleared up just in time for a sunny 4th of July on the beach.



We joined in on a hilarious dance party...


cooked out on the beach...


and watched the fireworks.

In honor of this weekend, it is only fitting that I leave you with a live performance by J Roddy for your tuesday tune...

I find that I am drawn to ideas. Whether they are brilliant, simple, or aesthetically beautiful (to my eyes), they tend to be other people’s ideas. I have much respect for people who have the vulnerability to bring their ideas to life. My first internal reaction is often envy, but then it becomes gratitude – and gratefulness for a creator that enables people to bring to life the ideas that He gives them. Occasionally though, one of those ideas is my own. They don’t come often, but when they do, no matter how small or insignificant they may be, I am humbled and inspired. This is a place for me to exhibit those ideas, mostly others – sometimes my own.
