Smell the Roses

 Whenever you can, take some time outside to appreciate nature. Plants and trees, fresh air and sunshine are good for your health.

And take some time to sip a healthy beverage. I've got my iced soy latte!

Happy Birthday Party Time

One of my humans celebrated his birthday today.

We went to a place called Smoking Pig.

I tried the macaroni and cheese balls.

Mr Duffy ordered the ribs.

He chose mashed potatoes as his side. I tried to sneak a bite, but he pushed my paw away.

I had an Impossible burger with fries. We all had a very good lunch.

 

And the party went on! For dinner, we had pizza.

Of course we got a chocolate chip pizza. I mean, it was to celebrate!

Mr Duffy was very happy with pineapple pepperoni.

I chose the margherita. I love the fresh garlic and big tomato chunks. But this restaurant didn't put basil. That is the best part of this particular pizza.

The day was tasty and filing.

Ice Cream Time!

I tried a new ice cream place called Icicles.

This is a really "cool" place because of the way they prepare the ice cream. You chose your flavor, then they roll it out and turn it into curls.

They have many ice cream flavors, as well as a variety of toppings. I got coffee ice cream, topped with brownies, and drizzled with chocolate sauce.

It is a tasty treat on a warm day.

 I will be eating here again!

Pizza and Coffee

 I tried a new pizza place in the city of Fremont.

Bronco Billy's is the name of the restaurant.

They sell pizza by the slice. And it costs around $10, depending on the toppings. That sounds like a lot of money, but the "slice" is about the size of a small pizza.

I ordered a veggie pizza. I do like artichokes and whole chunks of tomatoes on mine.

They have a small menu, and not a lot of vegetarian options, if that is your diet.

 

After dinner, I walked down the street for a post-pizza coffee.

Going to the usual places means you know ahead of time what you like, and what the food is like. But it is also good to try new places, especially when you are traveling. You may just find your new favorite place.

California Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate

 Enjoying a glass of California Cabernet Sauvignon.

And some California cheese and chocolate.

I told Mr Duffy a funny joke. It made him jump into a box! Silly bear.

Hoppy Easter!

 I enjoy any  holiday where candy is a big part of the celebration.

The Easter Bunny is always good to me. Look at all these goodies!

My bunny friends came to celebrate with me.

Do I blend well?

Mr Duffy joined me in the celebration.

Our big dinner was delicious! We had fettuccini alfredo, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, and carrot dogs. So tasty!

Holiday food is also something I really love.

Mr Duffy and his carrots.

Wow, even more treats! This will last me until Halloween! Maybe. 😂

The Easter Bunny left me two spring related LEGO sets. Pretty flowers and baby animals.

And of course The Baby had to join in on the fun, too.

Happy Easter!
