Wool, yarn, and a fun weekend ahead!

TGIF Everyone!

So, in preparation [...]

Well, checking my camera I only had two pictures from the wedding.  I think I was too busy having fun to be a good photographer.  AND  I didn’t even take one of them (because I am in it).  Oh well, here they are….the food:

Got close to some celebrities!

Friday night, our good friend Dina who works at Berkeley took us to their 2007 commencement recital.  The students are so talented and I always love seeing performances.  We had VIP seating and happened to be just three rows behind the honorary doctorates, The Edge from U2, and Gloria and Emilio Estefan.  Wow. It was [...]
