Olivia and John went to Kris Mendell’s surprise birthday party on June 4. Disco-themed but the Travolta tunes were not enough to fight the jetlag still lingering from the trip to South Africa. Beautiful setting for her party – well done Eric – at the California Golf Club in South San Francisco. An early night meant all were ready to help at the San Francisco Food Bank Sunday morning. The whole team did great and we packed almost 900 boxes of food for those in need. We’re back August 14 – come and help!
Pia and Isabella took their second puberty class on June 7 and had lots of fun doing so! They were laughing so hard on the way home that it was impossible to understand anything… The girls all got out of school June 8 and they were very much looking forward to it. We are extremely fortunate that they all got First Honors! Well, Adriana didn’t but she’s a smart little cookie and her sisters will help make sure she’ll achieve grades at the same level.
Isabella, Olivia and John spent the following weekend in Carmel Valley and Monterey together with Adrian and Penny plus Olivia’s brother Dave and his family. We went to see the Monterey Pier, the Denise the Menace park and later drove south to Ventana for lunch and to see how Highway 1 was doing.
John had to be at the San Francisco airport early Sunday morning, so the little Golf went straight from Fresh Cream to Burlingame. John had signed up for a week-long photography class in San Diego and spent the entire week at the University of San Diego. Those dorm rooms are not as charming as they sometimes look but the instructor and class was great and John returned late Friday just in time for Olivia to spoil him to a Diana Krall concert at the Mountain Vinery in Saratoga. A wonderful Father’s Day present.
