こんばんは。How’s it going?

Mariko and I went to Komé Sushi Kitchen for a saké pairing dinner. I don’t know much about saké except that I enjoy it (Mariko makes fun of me because I usually just say, “This is good. I like it.”) but I though this would be a good opportunity to get some education. I admit that I might not have learned much (my fault, not Komé’s that’s for sure), but I sure enjoyed the food that was paired with the saké. The sushi was fantastic. ❤️ 🍣

For the record, I enjoyed the Kuroushi saké the most. 🍶 😊

 “Happy Faces” Cedar Park, 2019

What a busy day! I volunteered for concession stand duty at the annual Marching Band Festival that Koa’s high school hosts which was so hectic, but fun. I didn’t have time to take my daily photo with my Fujifilm X100T as normal, but I did manage to take a snapshot of Koa and two of his friends who were volunteering as well. Koa helped lead the visiting bands’ front ensemble units to their proper locations in the stadium, which I think is perfect for him, and he’s so social I’m sure he met a lot of people he follows on Instagram.

Anyways, I’m happy with the photo I took – just a simple snapshot of smiling, happy kiddos! Life is good. 😊

 “Deer, Cat, and Dog” Cedar Park, 2019

We’ve lived in our current house for almost 15 years now, but I’ve never seen a deer in our front yard before. We see deer behind our house in the greenbelt often but there’s only a tiny secret pathway between two houses about 100 yards away where someone (or critters) can come to the neighborhood street, and I think that’s where this deer came through.

I was happy to see that our neighbor’s cat was socializing with the deer, and of course Lani wanted to join the party too. It was a neat moment!

 “iPad Drawings for Inktober” Cedar Park, 3029

Hi all! I’ve been doing quick sketches and doodles on my iPad almost every day (even if it is for just a few minutes) for a while now, but now that October has started, I thought I would give Inktober a try. I’m not going to use ink, nor follow the official prompts, but I’ll just try to do a more “complete” sketch every day. So, without further ado, here are my first two sketches:
