A couple dozen sheep or more were hanging out at Hemenway Park. Would you rather walk around in the cactus all day or eat the soft green grass at the park? Technically, they are Desert Bighorn Sheep. The herd moves around in the River Mountains – Bootleg canyon, Cascada golf course, Hemenway park, and the lake side neighborhoods. They are pretty tame and get close to people. Pull off the highway coming up from the dam and odds are good you will see them at the park this time of year.
Dixie is a good neighbor dog who watches the house. Dixie and Lulu keep their distance from each other. She comes over every morning for snacks (and to secretly see the cat). Dixie is really good about staying in the yard and not leaving the perimeter to chase other dogs.
Korean BBQ is my favorite BBQ of them all. Many of the meats come pre-marinated. They are sliced thin so they cook fast. You have to cook it yourself on a grill in the middle of your table. It comes with many small dishes of garnish and sauce. Kimchi would be an example. Gangnam is one of the better spots in town and hard to get a table without a reservation.
Dualing Mother’s Day event with 2 Moms this year.
My mother has been very crafty all her life. She had several beautiful Kimonos which were stained in few places at the hem, and could not wear them any longer.
She decided to give those beautiful fabric another life, by making cushion covers! It is very delicate silky fabric, with beautiful patterns.
They make the house bright and welcoming!
When I opened the postal package, the distinct sent of Kimono fabric brought me back to my home I grew up. I loved the times when my mother occasionally brought out kimonos and opened up the special paper covering of each layers of them, which gives out the whiff of scent, hard to describe, yet noble and elegant.
I will always be thankful for my mother’s kindness and her wisdom in many facet of life.
Hachi is the name of the restaurant – translates to the number ‘8’.
Yakitori are japanese ‘Shish Kabobs’ grilled on a special imported Binchotan charcoal.
Izakaya are small plates like you would find at a Spanish Tapas bar. They also have the traditional Sushi, Ramen, Katsu selections but we wanted to try some other items not commonly seen.
JMBullion had a few of these in inventory the other day. These sell out within minutes when they get a delivery. You pay a few dollars more than bullion silver but cheaper than standard American Silver Eagles. These look nice next to my ETH rounds I picked up last month. Maybe I can tell somebody this is a real Bitcoin and sell it for 58,000. I would not be surprised to see BTC hit 100K in the next year. Or 10K – it’s a roller coaster ride.
