road tripping

Heath Ceramics

Yesterday Marsha and I and her two dogs drove to Novato on a small
errand and some women-talk time. Novato is simply too boring to snap
one photo, even the Starbucks lattes were dreary. But really nice to
get out of SF and no rain. The hills are lush and green all around the
Bay and that was such a treat.

When we returned to civilization I introduced Marsha and the dogs
to the Heath Ceramics factory on 20th Street ~ they had not been
here before. This was a nice day indeed and Annabelle was all ears
and appetite when I returned home to tell her everything.

Today is International Women's Day. Very special.

a long road trip

Scott (our SIL) drove us from Elgin, IL to Washington, PA yesterday in a
luxurious Buick. I almost read an entire e-book, saving my life and the
other 3 passengers who did not want to hear me mutter about all the grey
and beige of the midwest. Had 1/2 hour to change for the rehearsal
dinner and I must say that Husbando and I were excellent grandparents
and beamed with pride, avoiding all WTF? comments even though one
or two might have been warranted. It's raining a bit, but we hope for sun
for the (naturally) outdoor wedding at the Lavender Farm this afternoon.

Came home to watch baseball and sleep. Everything is running smoothly.

This morning our friend Carlini (remember Whidbey Island?) is going to
join us for breakfast and some catch-up. He lives in Philly...
