Breakfast: We settled into the pool house at Gary’s brother’s in Monte Sereno. We’ve stayed here many times. It feels like home, a tiny home, with everything we need. Gary’s sister-in-law set the place up with fresh flowers and a basket of Oranges and Bananas. Lunch: We were feeling a bit foggy and had…
Breakfast: It’s Fly-Day. We have a late afternoon flight to San Jose and we’ll be starting rehearsals for The Music Man. Somehow, things were moving along well. We finished packing yesterday and despite all the drama and activity, we got to bed at a reasonable hour. We had a stress-free breakfast of Rolled Oats, Granny…
Breakfast: We are leaving tomorrow for California. It’s a mad rush to get everything done before we leave.

Breakfast: We are coping. There has been so much to do and no time to grieve. I hope sometime soon to take some peaceful, quiet time and think about my dad. Today we’d be sitting Shiva at my mom’s home. Gary and I had Grapefruit and Cold Rolled Oats with Raspberries, Bananas, Almonds and Soy…
