Criminal Acts

One car broken into + One broken window + Stolen wallet + Stolen purse (which contained house key) + $3,937.32 in unauthorized credit card purchases + One new deadbolt for the front door = not a great start to the weekend.

On a positive note, Abigail and I are both safe and sound.  It still sucks that we had to shell out money for a new deadbolt and I have to get my window fixed.  Not to mention the hassle of cancelling my credit cards, getting a new license, medical ID card, Costco card, library card, etc.  Sigh.

Norton's Pastrami And Deli

Norton's Pastrami and Deli was featured on an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, and Ted wanted to try their pastrami sandwich so we ate here for lunch today.  For some reason this sign in the restaurant struck me as funny.

Cart Cover

We tried Abigail's cart and highchair cover today at Walmart and it was a success.  Abigail has a lot of room to grow into the cart cover but she loved sitting up and being able to look around.

Dinner With Friends


Our friends Tim and Connie and their kids are visiting CA from MI and we had the opportunity to meet them for dinner last night at A.J. Spurs in Buellton.  We keep up with them through facebook but it's been several years since we've seen them so it was nice getting together with them.
