It's quite obvious that sales reps from St. Arnold Brewing Company were at Kroger on W. Gray.

It's Hatch chile season!  Everywhere I go, there are chiles being sold, roasted and put into recipes.  This is a pic of part of a bin at Whole Foods.

Pic(s) Of The Day - 08.12.14 - Some Like It Blue Dog

This is a cake that has an image of George Rodrigue's Some Like It Hot.  Back in June when I was in New Orleans, Chree and I stopped at the gallery.  This was one of the selections available for purchase.  Chree fell in love with it.

One of the interns had this cake made for her birthday.  And...

later that evening at Tony's before the cotton candy arrived,

it was revealed that Chree IS the proud owner of a Blue Dog.

Side Note: The cotton candy photo caused quite a stir.  I posted it on my accounts and all of sudden, I was the one receiving happy birthday wishes.

Pic Of The Day - 08.11.14 - How Does Your Garden Grow (or stow)?

Made a quick trip to High Fashion Home to purchase a birthday present.  These are garden stools that can be used for a variety of things.  I really wish they had it in red or yellow because it would look great on the porch of The Calvinator's Crib.

The Calvinator and I didn't have any plans for Saturday so we just took the day as it happened. Hotel Havana is on the Museum Extension of the San Antonio Riverwalk so it is kind of quiet. We headed north and just strolled.

After a visit to Starbucks, I accidentally found a farmers market at Pearl Brewery. There were a bunch of dogs so I knew he would be welcome. After Pearl, I drove around the city and eventually made our way back to the hotel. It was a hot day in San Antonio so we enjoyed the dog days of summer and slept and relaxed.

The glass has a red film on it giving the hallway a pink hue.

Have you ever been in one of those moods where you just want to get away? Well, this mood swing started about a month ago. I was going to New Orleans with The Calvinator but then one thing lead to another and I decided to head west.

Based upon the recommendation of Marcus and Shannon, and upon further research, I booked a room at Hotel Havana.  I had never heard of it but the fact that they are dog friendly and not in the hub of everything Riverwalk, it sounded like the perfect place to get away...and it was.
