Happy Birthday: Simon Pass
One of the benefits of being active on Marin Buzz’s Instagram, is I get to discover so many inspiring Marin small businesses. Do you want the best toffee made in the entire Bay Area according to the experts at the 2025 SF Chocolate Salon Awards? Kate makes it by hand in her home kitchen in 2.5 pound batches. You can order online or I’m going to look for it next time I’m at one of these stores.
Gigi & Jasper are Dachshund mix mutts that were adopted during Covid from a family moving to Australia. They are 8 years old.

If You Want a Trip Outside Marin
Just a half mile across the county line, one of the Sonoma County Farms is open for visitors (one of many across Sonoma county). Bay to Breakers run and costume party is Sunday in SF (so don’t drive to SFO through GG Park). Foodies head to Healdsburg for the $250 wine and food festival. A music festival at the beautiful Dawn Ranch in Guerneville.
