Lunch With Friends

Karen - Day 114 - Burbank, CA


Today's adventures led us to an unexpected lunch.


4 and I were out at an appointment when we saw Jamison and his beautiful daughter.


Of course my kid fell madly in love with her and begged them to have lunch with us.


We went to Cafe Verona and it was lovely.


If you're thinking to yourself, "Hmmmm he looks very familiar" you would be right.

Jamison Reeves is a very talented actor, writer, director and film maker.
He's also been a very generous and wonderful friend for many years.
His wife, Wendy, owns a magical place called Willow Spa.
If you are ever in Santa Monica you have to check it out.

What does all this have to do with The French Skinny Experiment?
I guess I'm trying to let go of my expectations and see where life takes me.
Did you see that salad? Delicious and very healthy.


And at the end of the day, it's all about good friends, good food and love.

The Sweet Life.

Everything a Man Needs

Karen - Day 109 - Burbank, CA


"Mom! Mom! The guys are here to give us a new driveway!"

"That's great honey."

"Mom! Look at that truck! A fork lift, jackhammer, giant truck, it's everything a man needs."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Off to do some errands.
Then lunch.
4 and I go to a little tiny restaurant called Cafe Verona.
I love this place. We call it our secret garden.

I have the Filetto Al Carpaccio.



I can only eat about half of it.

Back home, Hubby's making more BBQ for dinner.
It's a meat lovers paradise today.
And to think I was a vegan not too many years ago.
But that is a story for another day.

I'm so excited to tell you that I won something! I love Little Blue Deer, and while I was visiting, there was a drawing for some beautiful earrings from Folksy Chic. I don't know how I won, but I love them!
