lunch | Oscar and Lucy

(I love this!)

Madie is all set up in her new job as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner in the Pedi-Prepare Clinic across from the UCSF Children’s Hospital. She checks kid’s histories and health before they are admitted for surgeries. She has a beautiful office suite filled with toys – needless to say Lucy enjoyed the visit!

It’s not in the photo, but the wall to the left is Full of books and toys:

We had lunch at the kid’s play table. We chatted. I got to meet Madie’s bright and charming colleges. I was totally impressed with the whole set-up! Pretty awesome!

Lucy and I took the 6 Parnassus (Muni Bus). She loved the trip there and back – it was her first bus as a big girl. I forgot to take a photo (shoot!) but here she is walking home:

Girl’s recon trip last Thursday.
Had to check out Resto’s new digs at 188 Henry Adams Street in the old Ed Hardy Antiques Showroom. (Not like I was a regular there – I think I went once with Harriet & Cecca in high school.) The place is making waves because it is a Chain store, and open to the public as opposed to The Trade. Heavens. Not sure which is worse. Read a good article if you’re interested.

It was soooo lovely. Madie, Kiera and I all agreed, the prices are so stratospheric, we might as well have been in a museum. (Full of faux antiques.) Oddly, the goods were so out of our budget that we weren’t even pining over anything. Or doing the number crunching in our heads. So it was a great little trip with a quick bite at an outdoor table in the warm sunshine.

I wish I had taken a photo of the polished cement floors there – that was probably my favorite. (I didn’t like their crunchy pea gravel outside – it looked fine but what a mess – I’d never choose it for myself.) Here, for fun, are some of the things we liked a lot – and a ridiculous price example for the thing I found for Lucy:
