Labor Day Weekend...


 
 
The sun is out here on the Monterey Peninsula at last!
I have been out enjoying the weather this last week, so now
I am catching up on blog responsibilities...

Labor Day Weekend
 
We had a full weekend for the Labor Day Holiday
 
Saturday, September 1
A Birthday Party for Tamara's 45th year
(My, but we all are aging gracefully aren't we?)
 
Tamara (45), Anthony (17), John (65), Olivia (18), Susie (67), Jon (48)
This may be the Xmas photo...
 
This weekend turned out to be a family weekend...
Sunday
Breakfast with Olivia
 
 
 
Drive to LA (with a stop at CSU Northridge)
Then a visit with my mom and dad
(sorry no photos - took one of my mom, but it's a little depressing for me)
John had booked a room at the Westin Hotel in Pasadena
 
A quiet evening alone...
with a view of City Hall
 
 
Anthony was picked up by Auntie Naomi and Cousin Chelsea for the evening
(my biggest regret of the weekend - no photos of Chelsea)
Monday morning, we pick up Anthony and start the 6 hour drive home
 
I think we will be back for a stay
at the Westin Pasadena!

Last week was actually a full week for us all:
Anthony - school, homework and rehersals
John - school, homework and meetings
Susie - Cataract surgery on right eye*, household chores, "club" meetings
 
-Settling into daily life seems to be getting very busy-
 
*all went easily & well, am seeing things I wasn't seeing before, like colors -
can't imagine what I'll see when I get the left eye done next week!
