SMA

In early December, Sim came out to visit then we went to San Miguel de Allende for a week. I celebrated my bday on the roof terrace for sunset eating mid eastern mezes then a holiday concert by Lady Zen. The next day I had lunch with Emily CD, ML’s college roommate who is living there now. The next night we went to see Lee’s 2-women play called “The Roommate”. She was wonderful.

I’m slipping in here some pics of folks back East who came to visit me in October and early November. It was in the midst of bathroom remodeling and my surgery on October 30.  Susan Schappert and her husband visited mid- October. We hiked around Point Reyes. Rob Weinzimer and his daughter visited right after the surgery, and Sue Goodwin came out for a week to start my recuperation since my actions were limited. Here are some pics.

We are going back to Mexico in mid January but to an all inclusive resort at the southern tip of Baja along with Sim’s nephew and his wife. Should be fun. Below are pics from the December SMA trip.

My first Christmas in my CA condo was very nice. On Sunday Dec 22 I had 8 folks over for a groaning board. On Christmas Eve, The Bilek-Burt’s came over for pot roast and carol singing.  On Xmas morning I scurried over at 7am to be with the family and had a lovely dinner. On Boxing Day I went up to Yountville with friends to a lovely French restaurant. Robert and ML cleared out and organized my garage this weekend while I took a short hike to our local waterfall.
