SF with the Abangs

On Saturday, we pick up Nick, Jazel and Isaac Abang for a car tour of San Francisco. It was rainy, but we were nice and warm in the minivan...luckily, the three boys fit in the back seat.


Isaac enjoyed sourdough bread at the Beach Chalet...


Awwww...aren't they cute?


Neil, the camera is over here....


The happy family!

CRUNCH!

Sniff sniff...how can I have emotional ties to a cat abused couch? But, I did...when I called Allied Waste for a bulk pickup...I knew that they would take away my couches and dispose of them...I didn't expect them to be CRUNCHED in front of me...sniff sniff...I can't believe my eyes watered...our first couches...housewarming presents from my parents gone...sniff sniff...

Ah...a new car!

Ah...new car shopping! Ya gotta love it! Too bad it wasn't for me...my brother Gary totaled his car last year while Mom was I the hospital. Much to my father's dismay, dad loaned him his Lexus, he hasn't bought a new one.

It's a Nissan Rogue...the smaller Nissan crossover....I like it...although I really liked the Nissan Juke...but, it has no legroom in the back. jeff points out that it has more legroom than my Z...I guess when you look at it like that, he is right. Oh, speaking of Z's...I like the 370z more than I thought I would. Not sure about the Armada...but, that RED Juke...TOO CUTE,

More Bo Bunny

While most people were watching the Super Bowl...I was watching Jordan and then former teammates, Eden, play basketball. Afterwards, we went to eat dinner...Jeff and Neil joined us after hitching a ride with one of the Eden parents. (Neil played the younger Eden team).

I was happy to find out that Jazzy Crafts was open. It is a craft store that I haven't been able to explore because it was either closed or Jeff was with me. Yeah! Score! Remember my post from a few days ago? Jazzy Crafts carries Bo Bunny! Yeah yeah! Above is a picture of my treasures!

I was limited in my exp,orange because Jeff showed up...darn him...and the rest of the families....so, Shelley and I are going to go explore more on Friday...oh and we are also hitting up Beverly's in Alameda!

I am sure I will have something to post on Friday!

Is it Spring?

Flowers from my garden!


It was another beautiful day in the Bay Area! I looked out into the backyard and noticed that my daffodils have come up! The hyacinths are right behind...I spent about 20 minutes cleaning some of the plants up..but, I think I need to spend some time in both the front and back yards...sigh...I hate to tell some people this..but, it might be too hot to be outside! Sorry to the rest of the country..but, they call California "Sunny California" for a reason!

I am so ready to get the backyard set up...I don't think we ever really set it up last year after the rain!

Basketball x 5

This weekend was full of basketball. Jordan played in a tournament with his San Mateo JYO team @ City College of SF. They won both games and then we drove 1 1/2 hours to Tice Valley for his SACBC game. They ended up winning that game also, and not only did Jordan play well....he scored 27 points! Luckily, since SACBC had a large enough lead, Jordan was able to sit most of the 2nd and 4th quarters.

Before we went to Tice Valley, we had dinner with Jeff's cousin Keith at Joe's Cable Car Restaurant in SF. It was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives...It was ok, not our favorite DDD place.






On Sunday, he had another SACBC game, unfortunately they lost by a few points, and his game was not as sharp as the night before.

Jeff took Neil to his game, and Jeff said that he improved. Neil said that he is enjoying the game more and is starting to work more on his ball handling.
