and all for $12

 My friend Terri and one of my neighbors are quilters and I have always admired this artistic talent. So I bought a ticket to the SF Quilt Show yesterday that was held at St. Mary's Cathedral. I had a delightful couple of hours and I was so impressed with all the glorious work. The artist for the crossword puzzle piece (top photo) was there explaining all the meaningful and personal details of her work. Yes, I am very happy that I went yesterday. 

two weeks and yikes!

 I know, I know - everything is on my iPhone and yet I like hard copies of everything. So that file folder is stuffed with all sorts of crap that I probably won't need. The British Airway plane leaves two weeks from today and I'm still working on the endless To Do List. And no, I have not done much research and yes, I forgive myself for that. Emma's Room has become a staging area where I hang "shall I take this?" clothes and accessories. Handy. Oh, Passport. Take that downstairs now. OK, will do. 

finally ~ it's Opening Day!

 Our Giants had the best record in Spring Training ~ imagine that! It is going to be a good season, or so most experts are predicting. Today we are in Cincinnati, how lovely to have baseball on radio and tv now instead of listening to Trump horrors, lies and cover-ups. Play ball...

another dinner party

 We meet six spies at this posh dinner party in London. Of course I approved of that. Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, Tom Burke and Pierce Brosnan were all quite wonderful in Black Bag which Amy and I saw yesterday at the Alamo. Yes, an excellent film. Enjoy.

breakfast with friends

 Mark and Chris live in San Luis Obispo and I always enjoy seeing them when they visit SF. Chris and I worked at the museums and have kept in touch so yesterday we had breakfast at Cafe de la Presse. Lots of news and gossip and laughter. A great way to start my day. 

book club meets here

 Well, none of us LOVED "Orbital" but that book resulted in one of the best discussions ever last night. I served Spring pasta GF soup and the guests brought everything else. Easy. Clean-up continues this morning but now I need to hop downtown again to meet friends from out of town for breakfast. Busy...

The Residence

 Murder in the White House. The Residence is a new comedy mystery on Netflix. Some favorite actors including Jane Curtin, Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), Uzo Aduba as the birdwatching detective, and Randall Park is the FBI guy. So far a nice escape from real White House drama.
