Life and Love: This is my godson. (week 8,50/365,jreyes)

It was my uncle's birthday today. I went over to his house to see my parents who drove from LA, and my uncle from Chicago, and the rest of my family in the Bay Area was at their house. This is my godson. He is 4. He made a star thing and put it on his head for fun. We were watching the Jones Jr. and Trinidad fight. Also I showed my godson the Yo Gabba Gabba Party in my tummy youtube.com vid. It was hilarious and he was saying Party in my tummy all night. Good times...

Here is the video.

Life: This is Falafel's Drive In. (week 7,49/365,jreyes)


Life: This is Falafel's Drive In. (week 7,49/365,jreyes)

I picked up dinner at Falafel's Drive In in San Jose, CA. This is really good falafel. You have to have their Falafel combo. It is comprised of falafel and a banana milk shake. This place always has a line during lunch. It is less crowded during dinner time, but their falafels are worth it. Anyways, I took this shot of the sign to remember tonight's dinner. Perhaps I should have taken a picture of what the falafel looked like, but I was "hella" hungry so my bad. mmmm... Falafel...

Life: Happy Snow. (week 2,14/365,shinsato)

We've had little snow the past few weeks, with really unseasonably warm weather. It was nice to wake up to some snow shoveling. If Jonathan can make smiley faces with his food, why not with my snow shoveling?

Light and Life: Samurai Cows. (week 2,13/365,shinsato)

One of these cows was a gift sent in the mail. One of the legs broke, so the giver sent another one. They keep each other company on a display shelf in our living room, the first cow leg happily superglued back in place.

Life: Onward Canada. (week 2,12/365,shinsato)

Learned today that I'll need to go to Vancouver for business. I think I got this map during a trip over ten years ago for my first visit back in the early nineties. The $2.95 price tag for a map probably dates it, but I couldn't find a date on the map itself.

Light and Love: The home fires. (week 2,11/365,shinsato)

The light from my home office looks like a little flicker of fire with the after glow of dusk in the mountains. I took this picture from the bank of a stream that runs through our land which is surrounded by trees, our little forest.

Life: Good Food. (week 2,10/365,shinsato)

This health food store was one of my "I could live here" essentials I discovered when I first arrived in Missoula back in 1998 just to visit. The store was a fifth of the size it is now when it was closer to downtown. They did a great job when they expanded. The market for healthy food has grown in the last ten years, but even then Missoula has had a higher healthy food store square footage per capita than any other place I've lived.
