Today I slept in until around 10:30 in the morning, and then got up for some breakfast and to relax a little bit. Around the middle of the day we decided to go into town to do a little shopping trip for me. I’m looking for a lot of things, flip-flops, t-shirts, sunglasses, and more.<\/p>\n

We decided to go into Napa to do the shopping, really just because there is a Jamba Juice in town, and I really had missed the juice. I did some shopping in the Target next door, but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. I’m going to keep looking around, and hopefully I’ll find what I need later on. <\/p>\n

We did do some shopping in the local grocery store, and we have the ingredients to make yakisoba now! I’m hoping to do a little cooking sometime soon. I also picked up some garlic salt and garlic powder to bring back to Japan. <\/p>\n

My dad and I both scored a Jamba Juice, and then we headed home. On the way back we passed by a wildfire that was burning to the south of Sonoma. It was incredible how much smoke was created by that fire – it was really heavy.<\/p>\n

For dinner tonight we went to a party at Francine Sweeny’s house. It was a lot of fun. The beer, wine and appetizers were great, and the dinner was even better. It was fun to catch up with everyone, and we got a chance to look at pictures from my adventures in Japan. <\/p>\n

We were celebrating Richard’s birthday. There were some cool presents for him, including a goofy visor with a fan that blows down on your face to keep you cool. We all had a great time. We heard through the grapevine that the fire had flared up, and Francine’s boyfriend, who is by coincidence my parent’s new kitchen contractor, went to go check on a house that he was working on. Apparently everything was OK, though. <\/p>\n

I’m getting ready to head to bed – I’m tired out. Tomorrow I’m going to get up early and give Kuniko a call. We’re going to head to Concord to sign off on some paperwork for the new kitchen, and I’m hoping to get to In-N-Out Burger while we’re there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
