Be Mine

Richard and Stacey wish love to all their friends and family and the whole wide world for that matter.

R&S celebrated Valentine's on Sunday. After Stacey went paddle boating in the harbor with her lady buds, Richard took Stacey to the Matilija Hiking trail. The weather was perfect for a hike, the creeks were flowing with water as they adventured around. Richard has been reading the original Peter Pan to Stacey, and they just watched Finding Neverland, so with all this whimsical imagination filling their heads, they did share in the magic of nature and land and pretended they were settlers in middle of nowhere. Climbing rocks, racing sticks, and taking in the beauty... and bugs. It was quite the day.

After the hike, they went to Boccali's, Richard worked there back in his highschool days, and Stacey has been wanting to go for sometime. Watching the sun set behind the Ojai mountain range and then declare the famous "pink moment" while sipping on wine and eating delicious food it was quite romantic ...and turns out they were not alone, with a large group of their friend sitting at the table next to them. Oh the joys of a small town, but it just adds to the special life in which they share.

Speaking of special moments R&S baked their first pie together, Richard's first time making a pie. Richard's Dad was coming for a visit on Saturday, so they made two pies on Friday night. They made Caramel Apple Pecan and Chocolate Berry Pie and Yes, they were ridiculously good. Also, with a little leftover pie dough they honored their company Oliver and Michele Design, with an owl pie pop.
