The best things, including walking...are FREE!


I am a major walker. I love to walk everywhere. And now that i have more weekend time I am going to be hitting the trails again.

Here are some of my favorites:
Point Pinole
is probably my VERY favorite. There is a short movie about it on the above link. It was a location that oddly once was a dynamite factory. But really its gorgeous, some of the best views in the bay area. You really feel like you are in a different world.

This one is Tennessee Valley Trail in Marin. Really stunning by the water.

Another is Point Isabel
That is near the Costco off of 580/80 near Richmond. Near Golden Gate Fields in Albany You wouldn't think it's a lovely point but it is.

Kitty is now famous!

They posted about Tobey, the Bruns Kitty on the Calshakes blog !

Go Go Boots...check

Ok so in further adventures of "let's face it, summer is over" I am now accepting that Halloween is near. And attempting to go as Palin to a Halloween Party hosted by Vince and Tammy. So first I gotta see if I can borrow someones high top boots.
Go Go would be best...but not sure if I can get that lucky. Next I would need a wig, that I can kind of poof up top. Then the rimless glass, I have a pair of very light sunglasses that MIGHT work for that. So of course this will take work. If it doesn't work out I can always go as average worker now, you know... in a barrel ;-) Sigh.\

I almost don't know what to do with myself with no weekend job. But sure I can figure something out.

More Kitty News!

So yesterday morning I get a call from a grateful cat owner wanting to thank me. Turns out the kitty had a chip and they were able to locate the owner. She did indeed care about her pet. His name is Tobey which is too cool cause of Sir Tobey in 12th Night. It's a 12th Night kitty! We can't fully figure out how he got to the Bruns. Priscilla, the owner said a neighbor had been complaining about him getting into his flower pots. So she was suspicious that maybe he dumped him. But I was thinking...be care of your assumptions cause we thought she was some jerk until we got the facts. Anyways, it was funny too cause I knew the subject of reward might come up which I wouldn't accept but she ended up offering a massage she is licensed therapist. Now THAT I will accept I said. So it's a happy ending. It's sort of a Dickens story, here we thought the cat was an orphan but instead he is a very lucky privileged kitty.

Well calshakes ended last night. Sigh, one of course is glad to have ones free time again. I was working a lot...but I will miss it too.

And I finally am accepting that it's Fall. I fixed up my porch and got my herbs for my garden.
No more denial -fest. It's October.
