You know they say, "it's the little things that count," and I have to say I agree. As a child maybe I didn't agree because my mind was set on something big like a new bike or a Disney world vacation, but nowadays, it's definitely the little things that count.
We are so fortunate to have a farmer's market year round and 6 days a week where we currently reside. Twice a week the market is held a walk/bike ride away so Mike and I often times find ourselves walking up there together to pick up things for dinner. Sometimes often times, I am busy working and Mike will go up to the market alone with a sticky note list (you know, because I have a thing for sticky notes!). The other day Mike came home and announced he had a surprise for me..."really?" I said doubtful, because I was thinking big...like Paris vacation big or let's-sail-around-the-world big. Mike proudly pulled okra out of our market bag and said, "Look what I found for you...you've been searching for this for over a year and I finally found it for you!"
Growing up in the South, I always had okra readily available and my grandparents grow it in their garden (still!). I remember being in 3rd grade and sharing with the class my favorite eats and I said okra and chocolate ice cream...let's just say the entire 3rd grade was a little weirded out by my proclamation of love for okra! After moving to Santa Barbara, I have yet to find okra and I was so excited that Mike found it, we just had to eat it all that night....
It's the little things that count :)
and since I'm sharing an image of okra, why not throw in an image of one of crazy tomato plants...it is still mind blowing to me that we have strawberries and tomatoes growing in October!
Happy Monday :)

After reading through my calendar for September and October, it amazes how quickly time passes each fall and before we know, the holidays are here, and then another new year. There are so many meetings and events scheduled for the next few months but among all the wonderful fun things planned, one of my favorites stands out: Santa Barbara celebration of harvest. I have been out of town every year for this event and I'm so excited to be able to attend this year... :)
In other fun Friday news, I have created a new category called Slideshows under "categories" on the main menu above...this is a quick way to check out all the slideshows from weddings, engagements and events...check it out! :)
Happy Friday!

I've been meaning to post these FUN images from Labor Day weekend. Mike and I were invited by some of our favorite people to go sailing to the Channel Islands over the long weekend....of course we said "UM, yes!!" It was an awesome trip...took about 6 hours of sailing to get out there and then we camped overnight on the boat and then had an easy 4 hour sail back. We saw tons of seals/sea lions....I still can't tell the difference although some people tell me there's a huge difference :) And we saw dolphins! Who doesn't like dolphins?!
Here's a little map courtesy of Google to show what Santa Cruz Island looks like....there are several islands and this is the one we ventured to.
Sooo pretty!
We went for a short hike after anchoring....but some people (aka, myself) cut the hike short for dinner! :) I was so hungry after working hard sailing all afternoon watching Charles and Mike sail...
It was like a little party of boats where we anchored :)
On the way back we saw tons of dolphins swimming along side of the boat...
I'm not gonna lie....I was worried about sharks and freaked out a tad when I saw the dolphins coming closer to the boat...
THANKS CHARLES! :)
Happy Tuesday!
