Emissions Test Not!

I thought our car needed an emissions test as it's almost time for the licence plate renewal.  It turns out I was mistaken because when we took it in the service man said we were ok, we didn't need one.  I must have misread the renewal form.  There is such a thing as being too efficient!  Anyway, we were in the area on a gorgeous sunny day last week so husband M and I stopped in at this Italian bakery.  I had a small latte topped with whipped cream and cocoa along with a brownie. M chose to have the cannoli pastry with coffee. It was all good! An older couple, seniors, sat nearby having what looked like a delicious shepherd's pie and bowls of soup.  The lady used a walker.

Okay, your subconscious wanted to lure you to that cafe! Glad you made the most of it! Valerie

Shepherd's Pie doesn't sound very Italian but I'll let this one slide. Better to be safe than sorry with the car too.

It all looks so delicious. I haven't had a cannoli pastry in ages. They are soooo good!

Nothing like stopping for coffee and cake fill ups.

Better to be too efficient then not efficient enough I guess... Mmmm, looks delicious. I have a soft spot for cannolis, by grandmother used to make them.

There is an amazing ice cream shop in San Mateo that makes ice cream cannoli. They are so fabulous. My grandchildren are in heaven when we take them some.

Any time you don't need to have something done with the car is worthy of a celebration :-)

This photograph is wonderful artwork to me. The little sweets and the coffee looks delicious and it's such a pleasure to look at it.
