Every day is a chance to celebrate the fathers in our lives, but this Sunday is their special day, so let’s treat them right. Join us for a Father’s Day brunch in Mountain View, with pancakes, waffles, bacon, eggs, and of course, mimosas!
My friend left a special package at our front door. And what was inside? A giant cookie from her trip to New York City, which I’m sure was only 3,000 calories or so. I had to destroy the evidence so nobody will ever know about this sweet gift! (Except you, of course.)
They say the best things in life are free, and that’s (mostly) true. But sometimes it’s fun to splurge a little. What are your favorite splurges and the little things you can’t live without?
It’s my job to find our clients stylish homes at a price they can afford, so I’m used to getting more with less. When it comes to food, I can’t resist the occasional “cheat day” to try a new restaurant or bring home premium ingredients for one of my favorite dishes. But at the end of the day, the finest meal is made even finer with the company of friendly neighbors — and you can’t put a price tag on that!
I’m also fairly frugal and try to get our clients the most bang for their buck with home improvement. That said, I lose my will power in the power tool section of the hardware store. There’s something about the whirring of an electric drill that makes me open my wallet. But when I come home, I can’t wait to grab a shovel and dig around our backyard garden. It’s very relaxing.
How’s that song go? “You don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone?” Well, the song is about a park, but the same could be said for our sense of connection with the people closest to us. And we’re not talking about the family we get. We’re talking about the family we choose.
This Fourth of July, spend some quality time with your neighbors. You never know when you might need their help!
Today, and every day, we salute those who have bravely served our country in the armed forces.
