A Quiet Saturday

It's nice not having to chase around. I have dinner with friends tonight, breakfast at the Onion and the rest of the time is mine!  I really am enjoying it. 

I managed to get through the 22nd uneventfully. And, I am not feeling the presence of the big rock over my shoulder as I did a week or so ago. 

An uneventful week.  I did go to Boise for a quick overnight trip to visit with a customer on Thursday.  Otherwise, it was a pretty typical work week.  We did have rain and apparently some snow last night at 900 feet elevation. My house is at 350' so I only saw rain. 

Last night I attended a concert at Stanford by the Stanford Symphony Orchestra and Stanford Symphony Chorus.  One of my grief group members sings in the chorus. It turns out I know one other member of the chorus as well. In fact, I had dinner with her and her husband at a friend's house last Sunday.  Small world!  

My next door neighbors on my south side put their house up for sale a bit ago and moved out this past week. They were a great couple and I really enjoyed them as neighbors. Their work situation had changed and the commute from Los Gatos to Stanford for Lucrecia, coupled with two kids, the younger needing day care and the older starting school was just too much.  She told me her commute is now less than 10 minutes, no freeways involved.  Sorry to see them go.  Here is a picture from the May Celebration of Mary's Life party with Lucrecia, Tim and my daughter, Erika.

Finally, I was on Facebook this morning and one of the those long lost factoids popped up in front of me.  Mary's son, Daniel, asked Kamie to marry him during the recent Christmas holidays--and she said yes.  Kamie is a sweetheart and is more than welcome as a new member of the family.  However, and here is the long lost factoid, Kamie was born on April 8.  If you don't recall April 8 in my writings, here is a link to the post that explains it.

It is cold today (for us, in the 40s) and its time I headed for the dry cleaners and some other weekend chores. 


Take care!
