Doggie Beauty Shop

This morning we took "the kids" (Sweetie and Happy) to Bark 'n Babies, Happy to be groomed and Sweetie to be bathed (she was definitely a dirty dog). After some (very expensive) TLC, Sweetie smelled like baby powder and looked cute with her red and white bow. She likes to drink out of Happy's Bark-Tini. Yes, it's a doggie drinking bowl shaped like a martini, complete with "cocktail napkin" mat and green olive toy. Happy has his own family portrait to look at (just at doggie eye level by the water bowl).


While we were out Jan dropped off her laundry and we stopped at Fry's to pick up some of the wild caught sockeye salmon they had on sale to have for dinner.

Jan and George took us out to lunch at one of their favorite watering holes, Sal's. Ken and I shared the grilled chicken breast with mushrooms, which was delicious, and tried the toasted cheese lasagna Jan had leftover. "Toasted" is polite for "deep-fried" and as Jan says, deep-fried must be good. The marinara sauce was great. Sal's is one of those places like Cheers, where everyone knows your name--especially if your name is George or Jan! The food is always great, the prices are reasonable, and the people are very friendly--a great combination that makes Sal's recession proof.

Later we went to Costco, where we picked up more goodies for dinner. Dinner was baked salmon dijon, steamed green beans and asparagus (cooked in the double decker steamer), and broccoli salad, with tiramisu for desert.


Lee found some black Liz microfiber capris at Costco that turned out to fit perfectly. Jan liked them so much that she decided to go back tomorrow for a pair of her own.
