Bye Bye Bananas

Monday.  The day for catch up and few collages. :) 

We are rewinding all the way back to Thursday here.  Why?  Because I don’t want you to miss out on a photo of toast with peanut butter and bananas.

No more bananas until fruit fly season ends.  Sad.

I consoled myself with tuna salad.

And cottage cheese.

And a trip to Starbucks with the other Jamie for iced tea, a Panini, and a walk down the block with the pupper.

Friday morning brought back hot coffeeeeee….

Look!  A different breakfast.  Monkey Oats courtesy of Jamie.

Nom. 

Friday afternoon was gloriously sunny so Chibi and I took a break in the park.

Then came home for leftover tuna salad and fresh veggies.

Friday night I met up with the girls and Michael for a delicious dinner with a view. 

Photos to come.  Happy Monday!
