I miss you.

And I miss our "Heavenly Beds." (I'm working on Pea Daddy. Maybe a good Christmas present for me?)

I hope you have a safe trip home tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you as I eat my oats with gingerbread almond butter!!!

You had quite a lot to say. :) I'm glad you had a wonderful trip!

November 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJessica @ How Sweet

Sometimes all you need are photos - it's fun to let them do all the talking. And those sure tell a great story! :)

November 8, 2010 | Unregistered Commentertab - just weighing in

Looks like a fabulous time was had by all in San Fran. There's no question about that food being amazing. Lucky!

I love how "wordy" this is. Each one is perfect for the picture. Speaking of which, thank you again so much for the photo tutorial on Friday- I've already broken out my camera manual and am trying to put everything to good use!

Did anyone summarize your photography tips in a post? Would love to read them!

November 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLindsay

That mushroom dish looks awesome.

I am new to keeping my own journal/blog and my pictures and lighting are TERRIBLE. Any suggestion for a book or something to get some lessons on how to take good pics? I noticed you said you haven't been 'trained'- how did you get your knowledge?
Thanks - it's a pleasure looking at and reading your blog!!

November 8, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterLeeanna,

Great post!
