![[2025-10_Random_00001.jpeg]] I love being able to see the stars so often down here in the Palm Springs area. ![[2025-10_Random_00002.jpeg]] One of our favorite comfort dishes to make, Chicken Pot Pie. We'll make two of them, one to eat immediately and one to freeze. ![[2025-10_Random_00003.jpeg]] ![[2025-10_Random_00004.jpeg]] Enjoying a coffee and cinnamon roll from Koffi. ![[2025-10_Random_00005.jpeg]] To quote Lucy Beaumont, "Quiche, Lorraine?" ![[2025-10_Random_00006.jpeg]] We found this awesome butcher in Cathedral City -- totally friendly and knowledgable, we'll definitely be back. ![[2025-10_Random_00007.jpeg]] Decided a little cuddle time was called for, so popped in for a session at the local cat cafe. This is Snickerdoodle, who I had some fondness for. ![[2025-10_Random_00008.jpeg]] ![[2025-10_Random_00009.jpeg]] ![[2025-10_Random_00010.jpeg]] Good kitty! ![[2025-10_Random_00011.jpeg]] ![[2025-10_Random_00012.jpeg]] ![[2025-10_Random_00013.jpeg]] I love this shot. ![[2025-10_Random_00014.jpeg]] Doug cooking up a storm, I'm helping with a bit of stirring. ![[2025-10_Random_00015.jpeg]] Doug got a set of Macaron Labubu blind boxes, so I opened one and met my little buddy Toffee. He's a photographer like me. ![[2025-10_Random_00016.jpeg]] Spooky color scheme for Halloween! ![[2025-10_Random_00017.jpeg]] A pre-show wonka-colored cocktail at Eight4Nine during a night out with Stegar! ![[2025-10_Random_00018.jpeg]] Palm Canyon Theatre presented Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. ![[2025-10_Random_00019.jpeg]] Watching the Mariner's on their journey to the World Series -- from the comfort of the casino sports bar. ![[2025-10_Random_00020.jpeg]] Halloween Slot Tournament -- spoiler alert, I didn't win. ![[2025-10_Random_00021.jpeg]] When Deb is away the rest of the gang will play -- here we are before the [[Werq the World Tour]] show, check out its separate gallery. ![[2025-10_Random_00022.jpeg]] Love me some local coffee -- Hot Lips Coffee Shop is a fun stop. Great coffee and they have thrift/vintage items for sale as well. ![[2025-10_Random_00023.jpeg]] Time to make some rolls! ![[2025-10_Random_00024.jpeg]] They're looking alright... ![[2025-10_Random_00025.jpeg]] The final results were alright -- a little dense and could have used a bit more flavor. ![[2025-10_Random_00026.jpeg]] Back in Seattle to see Dua Lipa - see the separate gallery. ![[2025-10_Random_00027.jpeg]] Dad and Ella Mai snuggling on the chair. ![[2025-10_Random_00028.jpeg]] Heading back into the Coachella Valley. ![[2025-10_Random_00029.jpeg]] A little Sonic Milkshake break, yum! ![[2025-10_Random_00030.jpeg]] Hot Lips had a DJ one Saturday morning -- good times! ![[2025-10_Random_00031.jpeg]] I'm a walking billboard for Tiffanys Resort where my family has been going for decades. ![[2025-10_Random_00032.jpeg]] Cheryl, Deb, and Chris after getting pampered with a mani/pedi. ![[2025-10_Random_00033.jpeg]] Showing off our color choices. ![[2025-10_Random_00034.jpeg]] The first time I've ever had my toenails painted -- I dig it! ![[2025-10_Random_00035.jpeg]] Met up with Stegar to watch some of the next Mariner's playoff game -- they didn't do so hot this time. ![[2025-10_Random_00036.jpeg]] Doug convinced me to get some Meta glasses -- the camera function is cool, but really the most I use them with is for the speakers embedded into them. ![[2025-10_Random_00037.jpeg]] POT PIES! ![[2025-10_Random_00038.jpeg]] Came back to the cat cafe with Deb this time to check out the residents.
