the remaking of a kitchen

we arrived home from oakland last evening.....friend judy drove to the airport to be our personal taxi. very nice of her! we had such a good time. the b and b where we stayed was great.....walking distance from david and sarah, although we drove it. we were very comfortable there, the owner was great and we met some very interesting people over breakfast in the mornings.
our flight from msp left at 7:05 am....not my type of schedule, but that was what we chose as we were not sure of scheduling for t-day activities when we got the tickets. amazingly we arrived almost 45 minutes ahead of eta.....that NEVER happens! the return flight was early also. very strange, but certainly acceptable!
steve and cara were our hosts and thanksgiving dinner was really delicious and the company was most enjoyable! i finally gave up on bringing something from my kitchen and we did other things. i had seen photos of a similar turkey several years ago, and i have to say jeff's was the best i've tasted ....evah! truly tender and moist and herbilicious.....and that doesn't even count the deliciousness of maple drenched bacon over the top of the bird. yum yum. all the california silvers were there except for nancy who was in bed with some flu-like bug. not fair to her or to us who would have liked seeing her!

we shopped and i started dinner, changed the bedding and washed the sheets before sarah, david and siena got home yesterday. we greeted everyone and then left them to take naps and returned a couple of hours later to finish making dinner and eat it all. everyone seems to have recovered their appetites, and siena probably never lost hers. she is a little darling, and is not afraid to let everyone know when she needs attention.
i got to hold her for just a minute....not nearly long enough of course. sarah just called and we are going over there in a bit....either to cook or order in some food. tomorrow baba sandy will get to meet siena.....a girl at last in that family. a grandchild at last in ours!
we took a drive along hwy 1 to pt reyes station today. had oyster poboys for lunch...one of my all time faves! they are so scrumptiously good.
