Hi,
Welcome to 2012. Over the weekend we had dinner, dim sum, and a quiet New Year's eve. This morning we're flying to northern California for visits with family and friends.
The 'Old School Friday' song was "It's All In The Game" by Tommy Edwards. I guess we'll call this next tune
'Easy Tuesday' since Monday didn't happen. Here's the chorus: "__ __ makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine of my mind...." Hint: It's in honor of the recent daytime weather here in SoCal.
Friday evening we had dinner with Paul, Joy and Leilani. We always meet at Thai Boom for a little reunion and it's always fun. Leilani is growing up fast and it was a treat to see her again. Joy designs custom jewelry and gave Lisa a beautiful pendant.
Saturday we went downtown with Jeff, Anna and The Boys for Dim Sum. This is also turning out to be a tradition with each visit. We have finally figured out which items we like so it was easier to negotiate all that is presented. The whole process of all the carts coming to the table is still a little overwhelming in a fun way, but we didn't have to brave it alone.
Sunday afternoon we drove over to Altadena and took my Mom to lunch. We always have so much 'catching up' to do, and there are lots of things to talk about. As we drove back to her house we saw people gathering on the Rose Parade route and she told us how her father used to come to the parade every year. They lived in El Centro, but he'd always find a way to see the parade.
In the evening we stayed in, and had fun hanging out with August. He and I went through the music applications I have on my iPad and he created 'beats' and started a song. We watched the ball drop, blew horns, popped the little noise makers, and then he went to bed.
Monday was a pretty quiet day. We saw part of the parade on TV, and in the afternoon we went to the valley to see Cousin Joel and his family. After meeting their new puppy, who is a tiny little sweetheart, we had a chance to talk with everyone and it was very good visit.
We have a 6:45am flight to San Jose this morning (yawn) and then a whirlwind day. Breakfast with Lisa's Dad in Palo Alto, 'art time' in his studio, and then lunch with the Oakland Cousins. From there we drive south to San Jose for coffee with the Athas family and then fly home.
Have a Happy Tuesday.
Peace,
Danny
