Most of you probably know our good friends, David and Vasi (Taylor's PreSchool Director and her husband). Well, they went to Egypt over the Christmas and New Year holidays and wanted to share their stories. Wow, pretty amazing stories, to say the least!
One thing they missed was FOOD so we BBQ steaks at home and caught up last night. Ahhh, the beauty.
Brother David was in town to meet up with his college friends for dinner so he joined us! It was a special time so the tablecloth came out the candles were lit and we even used our SILVER for the very first time! Why NOT? I am a firm believer to USE IT, as often as we can! It is a set that has been in the Nash family for many years and we were honored to receive it from Dick's parents on our recent wedding anniversary! I think the meal even had a better flavor!! ;) Well, it WAS pretty special and it added a lot to the table. Ahhhh, the beauty.
Today, brother David wanted to go back to Union Square and get our opinion on some sports coats he was considering. We grabbed our Brooks Brothers gift card and a Crate and Barrel gift card and headed down. It was so nice, we had the windows rolled down and even had to put on the sunglasses!! Ahhhh, the beauty.
We actually found something at CB!!! We were given this gift card for our WEDDING 3 years ago and could never decide on anything. Today? A French Press coffee maker AND a coffee bean grinder! YIPPPEEE!! I tried to make 2 cups this afternoon and was somewhat successful. It is a 32 oz. maker so I don't think it does the smaller amounts very well. I will try again tomorrow morning for the larger amount.
Next stop, Brooks Brothers where I found 2 shirts - 50% off!! ChaChing! On the way around, we noticed many windows with ballet costumes. tutu's, slippers, and the like. Then I read the window....OHHHHH.......25th year celebration of the SF Ballet so everyone is partaking by having a special costume in their window!! Soooo adorable!! They were so ornate!
This was in the Brooks Brothers window
These were a few in the Saks window.
There were so many pretty outfits!! Ahhhh, the beauty! I could have taken pictures of ALL of the windows! But, I WAS with 2 brothers who were on a mission to go 'Men's shopping' so onward we went.
Brother David was successful buying 2 sports coats on sale, and bought lunch! It was a great afternoon, enjoying the day. Ahhh, the beauty.
