Glad to hear you were able to slo...Dear Innkeeper,<br /><br />Glad to hear you were able to slow down, take in the movies, and relax. If anyone deserves some down-time... "me-time serenity" its our resident wordsmith and gifted healer of body, mind and soul; our Innkeeper!<br /><br />On this Saturday eve of Mother's Day I am grateful for;<br /><br />1. Being proactive this morning with a work/life balance choice that made the rest of my "day off" truly a care-free day off!<br /><br />2. Spending the day with my exceptional wife of 31 years and forever mother of our four adult sons, doing early, pre-Mother's Day things. We brought flowers and cheese-cake to my 89 year old Mom and my wife served her lunch while I did her weekly grocery shopping. Of course, I forgot to bring her card, but will mail it; something to look forward to!<br /><br />(Driving over the hills and through the tunnel from 86 degree Walnut Creek to 66 degree, wind-swept Emeryville...)<br /><br />3. Being able to sneak into a Michelin-star rated, white table-cloth, wait-persons in white shirt, ties and vest, Chinese Dim Sum restaurant near the Emeryville Marina at precisely lunch closing time; 2:30 PM, in Hawaiian Shirt and Shorts (not exactly dress-code, even for CA - I kept trying to cover my bare legs with the tablecloth!)and being seated and served a delicious meal for under $40.00! WOW! What an unexpected blessing - treat! On top of this, we were seated by the window watching the afternoon SF Bay fog roll in and envelope the Golden Gate Bridge, the SF skyline and Alcatraz Island!<br /><br />4. Harvesting some ripe, backyard, Loquat fruit, which our Asian friends are crazy about, after a generous late-afternoon nap...<br /><br />5. Getting ready to watch a movie about FDR at Hyde Park and dessert on Green Tea and Mango Haagan-Daz Ice Cream.<br /><br />Carl Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168412345145927553noreply@blogger.com
