Today ... got a great small painting from a local artist.... went to Talin Market and got some awesome groceries...went to Winning Coffee (which is awesome) for lunch... and then picked up a stack of used books at a local book sale. I haven't been sleeping as well as I would like to.... and have generally been feeling blah... .so today was a great day to take a nap... and to try to recoup.

(photo shows the Mediterranean plate from Winning Coffee....humus, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, peppers and a bagel with cream cheese. I added fresh squeezed orange juice and an iced coffee for a complete meal)

Supper was a feast of fresh fruit ... mangoes, papaya, peaches, nectarines, apples, oranges, plums, grapes, melon, blackberries... it was awesome. Paired with a fabulous grilled steak... and ta-da!

Some days may seem rather boring..... but they are still important. Like the photo you take that may seem like a loser... you may come to find that it really speaks to you later on. I am not suggesting that you keep every single photo you take... but sometimes it is the ones you least expect that turn out ultra cool....
