Celebrated the union of Michael and Chris (with their dog Brillo) in Dublin, California. They are a very handsome and special couple, and we met a lot of wonderful people at their reception (they actually got married last December 24). The day of their reception was also very special to me because it would have been my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary!
It rained a lot this weekend, but we got some great walks in, and I even ran into a co-worker when we stopped by Mendocino. There are so many charming areas like Glass Beach and the quaint downtown Fort Bragg that we really enjoy. We stayed at an Airbnb a few miles north of there and it was heavenly for the dogs to have so much space, even though it was saturated everywhere.
Shando cooked up a (vegetarian) storm with two other couples who we celebrated with in San Francisco. It was a Tuesday night so it didn’t go late, and we neglected to take pictures of the evening, but we pigged out on some of the great food including these two dishes Shando made (double-chocolate bread pudding with croissants and vegetable paella).
The weather wasn’t much better than the Bay Area this trip, but we did see some of our current and former Bay Area friends like Keith Shackelford and Jamie Krznar (both pictured), Chris Wyant, his beau Daniel, and Rich Kraft.
Monte got to go to work with Brian for his startup while Shando and I were in Palm Springs. The other pictures are just general cuteness around the house.
I’m having a series of changes made to my mouth to help with my overall gum health and this is the first dramatic step.
