“On the day that you were born…”
Had a pretty good weekend. Liz and I got up early Saturday morning to drive to Lake Chabot in the Bay Area to enjoy Aunt Lily’s birthday party, and frivolity was had by all. Lot of good people, good weather, good exercise, and good food. The star of the show, other than the birthday girl, was Cousin Natalie who is probably the smartest and cutest two-year-old on the planet. (”probably”? Strike that: “definately”) Don’t have photographic evidence at hand, so just take my word for it.
After the picnic and the ton of food, we headed over to the house and it’s really peaceful and relaxing there. Our house is the result of four brain-hyper adults who can’t pick up a piece of paper or dust a flat surface to save their lives (plus The Bride who is extremely frustrated with aforementioned adults). Aunt Lily’s and Uncle Zinger’s home has a peaceful, mellow aura. Of course, it helps that we’re usually there after driving four hours, but I always manage to deeply relax while I’m there.
By the way, the neighborhood cats own the house and they just let the humans live there.
For those who claim they can only sleep on a real mattress: air mattresses are the bomb.
Happy Birthday today to Aunt Lily. May those sixty pieces of cake rest easily on you. :)
