Today after our walk with the Susan B. Koman crowd we got hungry and decided to go out to lunch. Surprisingly, many families were celebrating Mother’s Day on Saturday. It was kind of funny because 80% of the patrons were from the Breast Cancer walk just like us.
Survivors and supporters celebrated Mother’s Day with love and laughter. Makes me wish everyday was Mother’s Day. I’m sure it could be if we live in the spirit of love and appreciation for our mothers.
To my mom that passed 6 years ago, I wish her a great Mother’s Day!

For Ebru’s mom who is still with us, God bless and protect her and may she have a blessed day.

Last Monday, 5/5 we went out for some fun! We went to Mikuni’s Midtown Party in downtown Sacramento. It
was busier than what we expected. As usual the food was good, the ambiance was uptown, and the entertainment was rockin.
We got there early and just walked up to the buffet line. No waiting. I filled my plate, but I think I stuffed myself. I was too tired to eat more to get my money’s worth, lol. It was the first time we’ve gone to this particular Mikuni’s. We’ve been to the one on Fair Oaks, Elk Grove, and at Arden Mall so going to the midtown location was a nice surprise.
They had live music, a fashion show, and raffle prizes. I took pictures with my camera phone, but they were all blurry. We were there for about two hours. I think I was getting comatose from eating all the sushi, oysters, and salad.
We got some t-shits and Mikuni coins for attending. Woo hoo!
I’m sure on a regular day it would be a nice place to bring a date. If you love sushi and are in the downtown area, they are definitely worth a visit.
Check out Mikuni’s website for more information.

Haha, it was my birthday on Friday and we just made a weekend of it. Friday, dinner at our favorite sushi place, Kintaro, then Saturday, just relaxed. Slept in (that was a gift in itself). Then today, spent time in our backyard, then went to Wine and Roses Spa in Lodi, same place where I took Ebru for her birthday. Then after that we ran a lot of errands at the Arden Mall.
It was a fun and relaxing day. Tomorrow it’s back to reality.

We just came back from watching Candy Dulfer at the Radisson Hotel in Sacramento. We had a blast and Candy and her band rocked! Not only does she play a mean horn, but she can sing too. She quite entertaining and we’re sure she could have played all night!
Here are some pictures of her. They are blurry cause she kept moving around.

Last week was Ebru’s birthday. I think we celebrated it the whole week through Easter. We had a great time especially on Friday since I was off of work. I took her to Wine and Roses Spa in Lodi, California. We had brunch, then our 90-minute treatments in a very serene setting. By the way they have some great food at their restaurant. The seared tune is awesome!
Wine and Roses has beautiful grounds for picnics, weddings, and of course this hidden treasure they call the spa.
After our treatments we drove around and ran errands before we got hungry again. Since it was her special weekend birthday she decided to go to Taro’s Japanese Restaurant at the Arden Mall. They’ve got some killer sushi there. Just as good as our favorite place in Elk Grove called Kintaro’s.
Of course she got some gifts from me and her obvious royal treatment at home. Our puppies also shared their loves and kisses for mommy.

Hi All,
We are on the new web host for rplayground.com. Our previous web host experienced an outage, which so far is unrecoverable. This new site is currently in construction.
Thanks,
