Lovely weekend

Some weekends are genuinely memorable.



Each quarter, my husband cooks for both his large class and his graduate seminar.  We hosted the seminar folks on Saturday evening in weather that was spectacular.  I shot this with my iPhone from the second floor of the house.

Leroy did his usual spectacular cooking, I made a large fruit salad, and the students ate everything.  I mean everything...including the Trader Joe's vanilla bean ice cream and triple ginger think cookies.


Sunday was Mother's Day, which I always enjoy because of the phone calls, cards and flowers from the mature adults who used to be called kids. 

A bouquet from Sabrina and family

An orchid from Cassandra and Richard

One thing is very clear -- I am a very lucky person, with an admirable, interesting family.  Happy Mother's Day to all of you!
