the remaking of a kitchen

sarah and i picked up lynne and chris at the airport in the afternoon after our morning shopping in downtown san fran and they drove me to palo alto to meet sandy, david's mom. she took me home to santa cruz with her and we relaxed for a bit and then walked over to the house we have rented on blackpoint lane for the weekend of the wedding. it is a great house, and i think we will all be comfy there. susanna assures me that we can have a family gathering there as long as no one gets too rowdy. i think we can handle that.
sandy and i had a lovely time together. on saturday we visited multiple florists and got ideas and suggestions. i will make a phone call soon. we also got to see gabriella's cafe so now i can picture the place where the big event will occur! it will be such fun!
we went to a restaurant on the wharf for dinner saturday evening.....had great food! tho we said we'd take the first available seating, we ended up with the window seats and a fabulous view! of course we had gelato for a little dessert treat. :)
the next morning, i threw everything into the suitcases and we were off to palo alto again to meet david's sisters for the drive into san francisco and green's restaurant. we had a bit of an adventure thanks to google goofing us up, but thanks to a friendly voice at the restaurant we found our way there, and only 30 minutes late. they had saved our table and were very gracious....great food, smiles, laughs, tears and a lovely time all told. the silver women were lovely hostesses and it was fun to finally put names and faces together after hearing stories and seeing photos on blogs. i can't wait to see them all again.....soon!!
