SLIK
Tonight, my mom took a bunch of my friends out to dinner at my favorite lunch spot, South Lake Italian Kitchen (SLIK). The owner Donna is the main reason I keep coming back to this place; she’s spectacularly sociable and just a lot of fun to hang around with. We met up with Jeff, Ben, Kathy, A2, Michelle and Marianne, and posed for this rather unattractive picture of the lot of us:

Afterwards, Mom, Jeff and I dropped by Michelle’s house for drinks and animal watching. Tonight – in addition to her two adorable cats – we also spotted many orb spiders spinning webs, and one skunk who came up to the stairs to see if the cat food was accessible. Combined with yesterday’s raccoon sightings, I’m feeling like quite the wilderness girl this week.
