Mt Tabor romance in the cold
Last night we packed a picnic and hiked up Mt. Tabor for some dinner and romance. Really chilly. Beautiful night to cuddlepuddle and look at the town.

Only one family at our show today.
Only one family at our show today. This little cafe has been struggling to stay afloat for a long time. Pity because they (like us) are there mostly to make the world a better place. This cafe is dedicated to training baristas and bike mechanics.
They have been thru lots of managers (a different one every time) and this new leader has promised to do some good advertising.
Olive and I still had a blast. We can afford to be poor and famous so we put our show on just like it was a normal packed audience. We over did everything. At the start we were ready to apologize, make a couple balloons and tell them no show BUT they knew what to say.
"It's our last day in the United States"
The family was from Canada. They had seen us elsewhere and wanted to catch a show before they left back to Montreal today.
This was cool. As we did the show the Mom and grandmom were translating everything we said into French so the kids never missed a beat.
That was a very touching piece of parenting right there.
So the cafe made $6, we made $10 but money can't buy the joy in that place this morning.
Stoked that now I know how to do our act in Montralese.
I asked Olive if she wanted to go busk somewhere else today, she said "Bathtub".
Works for me. :) Our next show today is at Pie Spot Pie shop 4pm.

patio baristas
Throw back Thursday! Once upon a time it was Thursday. I was painting a rubber chicken on the back patio of our old place.
To my delight my partner surprised me with a mocha drink she made up from scratch.
I didn't see her set it down because I was painting but when I did get a chance to look at it I noticed all the bells and whistles.
BOOYA!
Two kinds of chocolate even. It had a really exotic, robust flavor with just the slightest hint of nausea, great for rubber chicken painting.
When she returned I thanked her and asked "Where did you get the interesting spices and white chocolate?"
She said "I didn't include any white chocolate." At the same time we hear "CAW CAW CAW!"
At the same time we looked up above us at the phone wire to see two large crows sitting directly over the patio table. #naturalflavoring #patiobaristas
