A Late B-Day Celebration

Today the kids bought me lunch at Sakoon in Mountain View. I’ve been wanting to try this place for a long time. Of course I forgot to take a single photo. Thanks to Tami, Chris, Rick, Jen & of course Sandy.

I’m a 49er

I finally learned after 49 years to play it smart and take the day off from work on my birthday. We were visited by a pair of Canada Geese in our backyard panhandling for food. I don’t know if that was some kind of omen. We had a great breakfast at Ole’s right here in …

HB Jen

Happy Birthday Jen. We celebrated at Rick & Jen’s,  enjoyed bacon wrapped filets & blew off some steam with Beatles Rock Band. Unfortunately I never got a good shot of Jen.

Sonoma Day One

We drove up to Sonoma and checked in at the El Pueblo Inn. After a short nap we strolled the downtown area. For dinner, we ate at LaSalette. We started out with an appetizer plate of smoked duck, blood sausage & Spanish ham. For entrees, the birthday gurl had paella and I had flank steak.

Larissa’s 18th

Last night we had the honor of attending Larissa’s 18th Birthday. My how time flies. I was reminded of my age when I saw the youngsters dancing and my failing eyesight when checking the settings on my camera. Luckily Sandy took some great photos that saved my butt.

Daniel’s 3rd

Today we made a trip up to Natoma Park, for Daniel’s third birthday. Tons of food, kids, cake and games to satisfy all of us. Although my G10 let me down as it was too slow to keep pace with blinding speed of those kids.  Therefore I’ve had to supplement the blog with some of …
