Did you say food? Of course! So many delicious things everywhere. At Scoma’s Restaurant in Sausalito, I had the lobster risotto and my friends had the Dungeness crab. Everything was delicious and the view was awesome.

Had a wonderful shrimp and grits at Brenda’s French Soul Food in San Francisco, but the Beignets were out of this world. Plain, chocolate and apple. I’d take any of them again.

San Francisco Dog Park

I have been visiting a dear friend in San Francisco and helping out while she recovers from surgery. We’ve gotten out  just a little bit, but did manage to take her dogs, Rooney and Soho, to the dog park. Here are a few photos.
