Since I had my camera from last night’s party, I decided to take some photos at Stanford where I worked today.

Auntie Sachi retires
Last night, we were invited to a celebration for my Auntie Sachi at the Olympic Club in San Francisco. After 36 years as a school teacher, she has decided to retire. I got to see a side of my auntie I have never seen before… her professional persona. It was amazing to witness the outpouring of admiration and love. I have to admit I was brought to tears a few times. Congratulations, Auntie!
We decided to stay at the Prescott Hotel right across the street from the club which made it so much easier Friday morning.
Blog about Blog
While waiting for the train the other day, Sandy was approached by a stranger who asked if she could take Sandy’s photo to post in a Blog about reading books.

Memorial Day 2008
Rather than treat this as another day off and grill a big steak for dinner, I thought I’d go to the Memorial Day service here at Bay Farm Island to remember those who gave their lives for our country.
Then we went to our neighbor’s house for a steak dinner.
Crater Lake
I’ve been trying to get up to Crater Lake for years ever since I saw it through an airplane window on a flight to Oregon. On the day I finally get to go, the weather is miserable.
I have to go back when the weather is better. Perhaps during a sunrise.

I filled up in Sonora California today right after work.
Mum’s Day 08
This year, we wanted to do something special for the Moms, so Sandy and I planned a five-course meal for lunch. Then Jimi got involved and kicked it up a notch … or should I say 6 notches. The menu became very complex! I had visions of Hell’s Kitchen. It took days to prepare for the event. Happily everything came together without any blood being drawn. Thanks to everyone who pitched in: the cooks, servers, platers, dishwashers, photographers and of course, the Moms.
Wow we have enough leftovers for the rest of the week!
By the way, happy birthday Cait!
