backyard birthday plus Big Franks

I'm infinitely jealous of my sister's sunny backyard. So much so that after yesterday's perfect weather in the East Bay birthday hang-out I started looking on Craigslist for a new place to live. We have a charming apartment, I know this and so do all of you from the Apartment Therapy article. But we have no sun, no light, no outside space. And it's been a long rainy winter and spring this year. Waahhh, boo hoo, I'll shut up now.
