Musashi ~ Chocolate Covered Strawberries ~ Vote ~ Shrimp Day


Good 48º drizzling morning.

 
Rain and more rain yesterday. Some in the night. More today. So far another 1/4".

Went to lunch with Jennifer, Mike, Bob, Micol ... me, the 5th wheel!! We met at Musashi at noon. Saw Donna Walsh (the black wolf artist .. bought her painting) and her husband Mike there.  


We had a GREAT time. Lots of yackity-yacking!!! Good food. I had sushi....

...and we all had hot saké! 

When I got home there was a box on the porch... inside was the MOST YUMMIEST CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES EVER! They are Shari's Berries and Kristen, Alex, and Jack sent them to me for Mother's Day. THANK YOU!!!! I gobbled two down right away! The berries are perfect and sweet and ripe. OMG!  ♥ ♥ ♥
