summer is officially over

i turned on our heater tonight :-( where was my summer? i think i only went to beach 2 or 3 times. i think we only had a few weeks of hot weather, but summer ended fast this year in Sept. it's getting cooler and colder every day. i think i'm ready for the fall :-)

here are some good summer 2009 recap! (breakfast out in our patio, summer bbq meal, fresh lemon mint tea from our patio).

Marco the plumber

over the summer so our dishwasher was not draining properly and it would back-up to our sink... and now i can't remember how Marco fixed it. it's good to have a plumber around :-)

Brunch at 505

We had our neighbors over for brunch and it was to test our some of our wedding gifts and to celebrate Chinese Moon Fest. I couldn't wait to use it :-) we made lots of yummy finger foods and i have to say my strawberry tart/cake was very good. The little cupcake was like a pound cake with red bean filling and it turned out really good.
