All of our small family gathered together to celebrate Grammie's 91st Birthday. We posed for a family portrait, Chris gave a toast, we chatted over a brunch of poached salmon, orzo salad and pineapple, and Grammie blew out her candles. Here's a Smile Box slide show of this special celebration:

California State Fair 2012
I went to the California State Fair for the first time this year. When I was little and in Minnesota, I went to the fair because my cousins raised animals to show at the fairs. San Mateo has a great fair, but not too many farm animals. I loved San Mateo's floral areas and looking at the art by local artisans and often went when I was younger.
Eli, not quite three, has been to the CA State Fair three times and milked a cow and a goat...He's way ahead of me in this experience!! Below is a slideshow of our day.

Easter 2012
This Easter we had brunch at Scottie's new house...a one hundred year old home that has a yard full of heritage plants and some of the features of long ago. The camellias, roses, weeping cherry tree and Japanese maples are just as I remembered being popular when I was a child. Now they have very big trunks but the roses and camellias are the same. Scottie will be updating the house as he lives there but plans to leave some of the distinctive features of a century ago. Since there were no little children, we just had brunch and a good visit. Below is a slide show of the day that I just learned to make...
