Welcome to BlogBlast For Peace - The Fourth Launch! Dona Nobis Pacem is Latin for “Grant Us Peace”. The Peace Globe project began in the fall of 2006 with a simple post from this blog. The post ignited a flame in the blogosphere. The flame became a passion. The passion became a movement. It amazingly traveled from blog to blog across the globe until it reached 35 countries and 46 states. BlogBlast for Peace is a semi-annual blog event. It happened on my blog. It happened on your blog. It happened all over the world. It is positively inspiring to watch. The simplicity of three Latin words on a globe and bloggers writing amazing articles on what peace means to them.
Simple. And powerful.

On June 4, 2008 bloggers from all across the globe will blog for peace. We will speak with one voice. One subject. One day.

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.

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.
