Ten Happy Ones

On July 10th, ten years ago, My Beloved and I walked each other down the aisle in our friend Sunny's garden and made some promises that we are still joyfully keeping.

So, when this July 10th rolled around, we felt the need to celebrate a bit. My Beloved made a reservation at the Olema Inn so Cora could go along (they have a nice sign outside that declares "Pets Welcome") and he chose a lovely present that comes in a little blue box to mark the occasion. I got him a gift, too, an Inuit stone sculpture of two bears happily entwined; it just seemed fitting.

So, what has this picture of pea sprouts to do with all that? They were outside the kitchen door at the Olema Inn, staying fresh. That the chef cares enough about freshness to cut them as needed is emblematic of the dinner we enjoyed in their dining room that evening. I've decided not to show you all the dishes we enjoyed - after all, the menu is likely to have changed seasonally by the time you get there - but I did want you to know about the pea sprouts, just in case you are ever out that way and have an important occasion to celebrate.
