Sabine Visits
Sabine, my dear friend from junior high and high school, who now lives in England, was visiting California, and stopped in for a visit for the day and overnight. She carved pumpkins with us; this one is hers:
(see the others here)
She got to see family angst and was very supportive. Then she and Val and I went to a nice sushi dinner, and we talked as late as we could and still have her be coherent for her 7am, flight to Washington State.
Sabine is another one of those friends that I just “click” with, who I can see only occasionally and then just pick up where we left off. What a treasure.
More friends!
Jennifer and Selena came over for a visit on the 14th. We love our regular visits with them.
Synagogue and Friendship
On the 13th, while Katelyn was at her third Drivers Ed class, Haley, Val and I joined George and Linda for services at their synagogue. Then later on that day, Liza and Jody came over for dinner, games, and visiting. A pleasant day!
Trivia Bee
The kids went to the Trivia Bee again this year, with Glynis & Susan, on the 12th. Haley was so excited because they had a raffle and she won a fruit “boat”, with a banana hook.
Mills Mania
The kids went to “Mills Mania” on Friday. This a carnival/dinner/movie event at the high school, a benefit for the Mills Annual Fund. The thing that was particularly remarkable about it is that they were both there unsupervised, with strict orders to not leave campus without each other. They did great, and had a wonderful time. They’d even planned on walking home together afterwards because Val and I were teaching a class, but ended up getting a ride from our friend and neighbor, Lynn.
Folsom Weekend
As always, a big weekend around the Folsom Street Fair. First the Exiles Meet & Greet on Friday, then a party at a friend’s house tonight, and the Fair tomorrow. Busy, but fun!
Jennifer & Selena + Marilyn & Val = Games & Fun
Jennifer & Selena came over on 9/1 for an evening of games and relaxation. Always a fun time!
Marilyn – Val – Camping
August 9-12 Val and I went to a completely different kind of camping at Leather Levi Weekend August 9-12. As usual, a life-altering experience.
Kathie – Kids – Camping
Kathie and Joanie took all 3 girls down to Thousand Trails in Gilroy for a fun few days of camping August 4-7. I gather swimming, bike riding, and games were most of the fun.
Art Class for Katelyn
Katelyn and I went to Michael’s last week to buy Copic Markers, fancy artists’ markers. While there we met Barbara Golden, an artist who lives in Foster City and offers classes on how to use the markers. Katelyn attended one of her classes on Tuesday 7/31.
