Okay, so it's still Friday night but I just had to write and say how much I am looking forward to this weekend!

I have (I think) finally rid myself of migraines that have lasted all week. Yay!

Tomorrow morning I'm meeting Marianne and her hubby at the Ferry Building for farmers market fun, shopping and whatever we end up doing, it's going to be great! I am looking forward to seeing her in person and we will take pictures!!! You know how when you chat on the phone with someone and you feel like instant friends? Well, that's Marianne! Her hubby will be lucky to get a word in edgewise I think :-) I wish more of us could get together but it is so great that we have such a wonderful and chummy family here, I feel so grateful to know you all.

Sunday, I am finally getting to go to Ad Hoc up in Napa! I am just as excited about this and hope they have fried chicken on the menu. So many people have eaten there and raved and raved about it and I know someone who knows the general manager and so we get to say HI from him, it's always nice to have an inside contact. I found out from my mom on this last family visit that her aunts and uncles used to love to get together and have fried chicken dinners in the backyard in the summer with mashed potatoes and lemonaid. Doesn't that sound lovely? Ever since I have been craving a chicken dinner!

That's only three but they are such big things to me that they count twice. I hope you have a great weekend!
