Donuts for Windows

Dynamo Donuts famous apple filled donut

A pre-reward. A bribe. Donuts. We got up early Sunday and drove into the city to Dynamo Donuts for donuts that cost $3.50/each and totally worth every cent. Michael had three: passion fruit with little milk chocolate bits, coconut custard and ginger orange. All made with fresh fruit. No artificial flavors. Totally light and delicious. They even threw in a free cup of tea for me because I explained that I was just watching and couldn't enjoy one. Nice people.

I should probably mention here that Michael is a thin man who's blood test results are all perfect. My mom says that these results are proof that he is perfect, something she has always claimed. Ha!

The donuts were a bribe for Michael to wash the inside and outside of all the windows. We have a lot of windows! I just can't do them. He even washed the huge living room windows which are high in the pitch of the roof. It was a lot of work. He also cleaned all the screens and the tracks of the sliding glass doors. A good job. It had been a year since they were last cleaned.

The plan was also to hang the Christmas lights outside but, alas, that didn't happen. Instead, he watched the last quarter of the 49er game then we went to the open house for sale just behind us. They have been doing major work for about six weeks and we wanted to see the results. It was just like a TV show. Everything had been replaced and it looked fantastic. We hope they get the price they are asking. We also hope a nice quiet family moves in.

Dinner was the fantastically fresh and delicious red snapper we bought at the harbor on Saturday while buying our first crab of the season. Leftovers tonight.

I have a very quiet day planned. Rehab this morning and not much else. After the first of the year, we are thinking of a vacation along the California coast to visit all the piers from just north of Mexico to our home. That is going to take some research. The planning begins!
