On my birthday we went on a family adventure to Japantown in San Francisco. I had a goal of finding a bamboo fountain (a shishi-odoshi fountain). I was unsuccessful in that goal, but I did find some neat ceramic dishes and a sake set because I think it looks neat.
Our adventure in to the city just about did us in. But did go out to dinner and then get back home for cake.

Some pictures from Easter this year:
Last week, we went out to Connecticut to celebrate Dad’s retirement (March 29).
We arrived the night before in secret and spent the next day decorating. All the kids (and many of the grand kids) surprised Dad at his office in the afternoon. Erin, Mollie, and Megan sang a modified version of “For the Longest Time.”
We spent the evening at the church building for a party. There was food and cake, the kids ran around like loons, and we played “Jobs Dad has had” Wheel of Fortune (minus the wheel).
