Yesterday was a beautiful day.

Perfect weather for the barbeque--sausage, chicken skewers, grilled marinated vegetables, salad, bruschetta,  bread cheese, radishes, and homemade berry cobbler and cheesecake, California wines and beers.

We had 22 adults and 6 children.  A mix of Japanese-English speakers, so it worked out very well.  The weather was warm enough to stay outside until about 6:30, so we had a good chance to talk and mingle.  Today, all my friends from Japan will go to Mt. Shasta, while I stay here and work and write!

But first, this morning, a walk.
