A truly fine dinner put together with love and care

Got diverted with too much good conversation to take all the appropriate pictures 

Missed pic of the pollo con arroz with peppers, and a salad. Wine by Michelle and George

First concert, Fenwick brass

Second concert sandbox percussion

Both were excellent

Third concert Apollo‘s fire, a more traditional one

Sixteen or so in the group

Next up: dual guitars. Incredible virtuoso performance

Redwood library setting. Fabulous exhibit of art

A nice surprise birthday celebration with fond wishes from Sharon and Jeff 

Also Dianne’s Birthday

Hank and Ellen.

Another outstanding lobster fest. Just gets better and better.

Well organized-many crossing guards, water etc

No counter protesting

Gray hairs walking; other generations congregating at big intersections and at the music venues

Lots of music and multi gen songs but generally too amplified for me to enjoy

Maybe 3/4 of attendees carried signs. Most obvious with little real imagination. Listed everything he and fellow felons are doing/done but war protest was not prominent.

Best sign( I missed photo) elect an asshole, expect shit.

absolutely great show at the De Young in San Francisco. For me one of the best shows ever.

Monet in many periods; Canaletto, Sargent, Whistler and so many who went there in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Even many prints of souvenirs that people bought when they made the grand tour.

One of our favs

Look at the photo below very carefully and read the accompanying explanation. You will see a self portrait of Monet in shadow. A particularly interesting picture.

Legion of Honor 12/25

And…Kathleen’s birthday!

Extended family get together in 1006. 18 folks attending.

At 1pm, 4 of the set up group were on their mobile devices plus me taking pictures of them.

A hike with Billy and Naomi.

Bluff point is in Groton, Connecticut about an hour and 40 minute drive. Beautiful spot just past Westerly. Very busy on a warm sunny afternoon.

After, we had coffee at a lovely bookshop in Westerly and ran into a group of women dressed in kaftans and red curly wigs who claimed they were one of 70 groups in America who celebrate the landlord Mrs. Roper from the ancient sitcom Three’s Company.

Some fine pizza at Pasquale’s for dinner. Some of it went splat and they made us another pizza. Great service.
