Lazy days of August...

This is Bob the love of my life :)

We watched most of the Olympics at Danny's. IT was intense and very inspiring. What will we do now that they are over? Oh the US open..but it will not be quite the same.

Cam and Melissa are hosting dinner every 2 weeks at their home. I made some Empanadas Chilenas for it in little squares and they turned out quite all right.

Mom makes this delicious vinagrette for the lemon cucumbers...yumm August is almost gone, to summarize the month lets just say we are too spoiled and have way too many dinner parties with friends and family. Just the way we like it.

Bob has taken me to so many new restaurants I feel I should be contributing editor to some fancy gourmet magazine. Among the favorite outings, some restaurants that I would highly recommend are:

Oasis Cafe, the breakfast brunch is to die for and the chai is the best I have had in SLC. The bookstore inside the restaurant ( The Golden Braid) has a very peaceful air about it, with a magnificent fish pond that I wanted to steal and set up at my house.

The Market St Grill, I had been there before but never for breakfast. The Omelettes and jams are succulent, it is the perfect way to start a weekend.

Martine's Now, this is a really nice Tapas restaurant, I hear the chef is from Spain, the place is very romantic and the dishes are presented in a very artistic manner. We had a side of Tapas, then had a hard time deciding what to order for dinner, this place is perfect for a candle lit dinner.

Before I forget here is a recommendation if you are into Reflexology. Bob has been seeing this lady for treatments and I had an appointment 2 weeks ago. I knew next to nothing about reflexology but decided to try it based on Bob's interesting review. Well, let me tell you, it was one of the most enjoyable things I have ever done. My therapist is Julie Behling her number is 850-294-9683. She is FANTASTIC, if you want to check her out without a full appointment, catch her at the Farmer's Market in SLC. She does 15 min sessions there on Saturdays.

This has sure been an unforgettable summer. Now we are going back to school and hopefully a very fulfilling end of the year.

Some of my favorite shots

Park City Arts Fest 2008

We attended the arts fest in Park City again this year, it was great, lots of ideas, lots of creative people. We had our camera run out of battery, horror of horrors I know. Bobby got lots of pics but his pics are "temporarily" unavailable... Where was the rest of the clan? Well JT had band practice and Mike was visiting his dad. We had a lovely day that ended with an amazing meal at the Red Rock Brewery http://www.redrockbrewing.com/. Bianca had some caneloni stuffed with sweet potatoes and ricotta...yumm, she loved it.

These two got hungry for a snack!

"Bobbylicious" as Bianca has officially nicknamed him :)

B and Bobbylicious spent lots of time exploring displays, Bob purchased some amazing photographs and B asked the different artists lots of questions.

JT's summer rest

JT has been busy working this summer. He has a job with Bobby at his shop and he also takes care of Dan's loan. Here are two candid shots of him just chillin' :)

Performance Arts Summer Camp 2008 U of U

Bianca and Michael had the oportunity to attend once again the wonderful Summer Camp at the Modern Dance Department (University of Utah). Once again, they had TOO MUCH FUN, made new friends and look forward to next year.

They had some new classes this year: Samba, Hula and Musical Theater.

Here are some pics from their last recital.
