Diamonds + Coals - Visitors and Construction

Back in the day, growing up in Michigan, we had a saying that goes "There are two seasons in Michigan: winter and construction."  Out here in sunny California, construction continues on through the winter usually, but this spring, once the rains finally stopped, there has seemingly been an explosion of construction in the area, from the highways and roads right to our neighborhood.  It makes for an interesting symphony of hammers, saws, and heavy machinery, and reminds me of Michigan.

This week's diamonds go to....
- My parents!  They're out visiting this week, and we have a boat-load of adventure planned.
- Ladda Thai Cuisine.  We had planned to eat at the Chicken Coop until we realized that it's counter service and we had an hour and a half to kill before my folks' flight arrived.  So we went exploring and found this little gem.  Lots of good food for not too much cash.  Yum!

Coals to...
- Limited parking.  The construction crew seems to be taking up half the parking spots around here... Not fun.

Have a wonderful weekend!
