Some recent beach finds on a walk with Arrow in Ventura.

Can't get much better chalk type than this, right?

{R, if you are reading this: since I stare at an empty chalkboard everyday, do you want to give my eyes some chalky goodness??? Consider this a major hint, but a loving one.... I know you just bought some chalk.... wink wink, nudge nudge}

My new shoes arrived yesterday.
I don't think I've loved a pair of shoes more, at least not for a very long time. I think I could literally go to bed with them on, that's how much I love them.
I never want to take them off.

I learned a few things this weekend:

- Señor Fish on 1st and Alameda has a lovely courtyard, complete with globe lights.

- My favorite dish was the taco al pastor, hands down. And the calamari was pretty good too.

- my dog still eats grass despite my efforts to stop him; we took him to the dog show and that was his favorite trick: eating grass. And playing non-stop with his brothers and sisters.

And now, a new week ahead. How can it be May already? And how can it already be 90 degrees outside? I thought this was spring!
