A time of gratitude and celebrations

Our November has been full with celebrations, thankfulness and gratitude.
 
One of those celebrations was my mother-in-law Barbara’s 90th birthday. The whole family was together; her son, his wife and family from Washington state, our daughter and her family from Dublin, CA, and Joan and I from Pittsburg, CA, along with other dear friends of hers. We all gathered for lunch in Auburn, where she lives. She is such a special person and we were honored to celebrate her 90 years on the planet.
 
For her birthday cake, Mom picked chocolate with whipped cream frosting and raspberry filling. After all, chocolate is her favorite and she knows what she likes! We even gave her an extra piece of cake to be sure she had plenty of the delicious raspberry filling.
 
Each year, Mom and I share birthday celebrations, mine falling only two days after hers. Over the years it has been great fun to observe our special days with each other.
 
This year, for my birthday, Joan and I (along with our aging dog Lexi) are traveling to Corte Madera to one of our most favorite bookstores, Book Passages. We love to browse for a new book, eat a meal there, and people watch while we enjoy our new books. Book Passages has a patio that we can share with our dog Lexi, as we talk with each other about our book selections and other aspects of life.
 
From our home to yours, we hope you enjoy this holiday season in whatever way is joyous for you.
 
We know it is a busy, and often stressful time, so if you should need a helping hand, please let us know.
 
Thank you to all who are our family, friends, newsletter readers, and clients. We appreciate you.
