We all met at Ann’s house. We kept it simple. Tom got pizza, we brought salad, ice cream for dessert.
Poor Julie. She has two herniated disks and is staying at her mother’s as she slowly gets better. Dick’s cousin, Bobbie, came with us. More people, more fun.
Great restaurant in Loomis.
And while we were gone, Mike worked on Christmas decorations!
Atria El Camino Gardens with Mom.
Uncle Justin is learning not to mess around with Kellen. “That kid can pack a punch. I’m going to have to stop messing with him pretty soon.”
Odin found a comfy spot.
The cooks joked about how many of them it took to put whipped cream on the pumpkin pie. I’d caught five of them watching one person with the squirt can.
Mom really enjoyed herself.
A new blog. Why? If you know me well, you already understand why it was time for a change. This blog will be much like the last one, but with a different name and hosted by a different provider. And so, we begin.
Occasionally, I have gone to Maria and Tim’s to help out with social events, working in the background, assisting wherever needed. Tonight I provided support in the kitchen for a Japanese gourmet dinner. Each couple prepares a course.
First course: sushi, handmade and delicious.
And then I got too busy to take photos. There was soup, salad, a last minute sukiyaki to prepare, dishes to do in between, and a couple of hours later, dessert. Yup, I was tired, but it was also lots of fun.
